They have a draft of a handbook on how to create a security policy. Anonymous FTP to cert.sei.cmu.edu cd pub/ssphwg have a look at the README there. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- There is also an on-line collection of various computing security policies from different organizations. Here is part of a previous posting describing how to get to it. email to: listserv@unmvm or @unmvm.unm.edu body of text: index stgeorge (end of mail -- don't include this line) You will be returned a filelist with names in the form "orgname POLICY" Send another Note to: the above address, this time with one or more lines of text reading GET orgname POLICY (end of mail -- don't include this line) As far as I can tell, these policies have not been updated in a while, for whatever reason.
