Risk Assessment Standards

My employer is jumping in with both feet for OCTAVE.  I've been
through some training, and it seems like a good method.

We're also using an automated tool and other consulting assistance
from http://www.aticorp.org/ , which we believe will significantly
improve the speed of the assessments.

Best of luck.

I'm looking to find what standards are available for performing a
security risk assessment. What's out there? I know of Cobra and Octave,
but have never used them. Does anyone have any experience with these
two? What other standards do other follow?

There is also (sun's) ESA (Enterprise Security Assessment) that I know of.
Ofcourse a lot of companies that perform certifications use "appropriate
security assessment methodologies" but they are variations of the above, or
(a subset) of the requirements of the certification. (Think itsec, trust
services/systrust)
With kind regards
