RE: Security Review Template/Checklist

I think what he's looking for is a *practical* security checklist review, say against a legitimate company, right? The previous email sent out was from a gent who had provided a federal government website, checklist.nist.gov, as a viable resource. After reviewing the website's documentation repository, I ahve found that many are links elsewhere.

For example, the DNS security review checklist for BIND 9.2.1 (and greater) may be found here: http://iase.disa.mil/stigs/checklist/dns_v2r1.3-checklist_080805.doc. The document is *very* extensive, but some of the information goes into military aspects (includes "MAC" or "Mandatory Access Control") and their privileges. To the private sectored companies, this has no meaning and might be irrelevant.

However, having a base security level that is based from a DoD "guideline" would *still* be a "good thing", wouldn't you agree?
