The OSSTMM is not a Standard that many would think. It is a methodology
that takes into account all the standards that you must comply with and
creates a new customized standard for your organization.
A friend of mine wrote a whitepaper on the OSSTMM and how to use it to
find your company's Perfect Security Standard. You can find it at:
http://www.infosecwriters.com/texts.php?op=display&id=236
I submit this for your review.
