Exactly. I feel like I am reinventing the wheel here when it is not really
needed. I feel that I will also need to expand my knowledge a bit, to
perform comprehensive monitoring requires knowledge in all areas. I will see
what I can do, thanks for the comments.

Hey Michael,

As it stands many think that security starts with solid policies and
procedures. Every good policy and procedure will have a scope. I am in the
midst of taking an organization and applying some best practices with some
audit requirements. How do you scope a project that is based on best
practices and encompasses everything from servers, routers, switches,
firewalls, and unused network drops?


Definitely. You can look at implementing ISO-27001 which is exactly this
(implementing an Information Security Management System or ISMS).

Wikipedia has an overview:

No point re-inventing the wheel :)


Cheers,

Chris.
