There is the work going on with the Security Policy Handbook Working Group.
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.
