Hi Steve, i think that ISSAF (Information System Security Assessment
Framework) could suit your needs.
"The ISSAF is OISSG's flagship project. It is an effort to develop an
end-to-end framework for security assessment. The ISSAF aims to provide a
single point of reference for professionals involved in security assessment;
it reflects and addresses the practical issues of security assessment. The
ISSAF is an evolving framework and it will be further amended and updated."
You can get it here:
Hope it helps ;)
Regards,
Christian Martorella
