BTW, I coincidently received the following message right after

NIST announces that Draft Special Publication 800-46 Revision 1,
Guide to Enterprise Telework and Remote Access Security, has been
released for public comment. SP 800-46 Revision 1 is intended to
help organizations understand and mitigate the risks associated with
the technologies they use for telework. The guide emphasizes the
importance of securing sensitive information stored on telework
devices and transmitted across external networks, and it also
provides recommendations for selecting, implementing, and
maintaining the necessary security controls. Draft SP 800-46
Revision 1 is a comprehensive update to the original SP 800-46,
which was published in 2002.

NIST requests comments on draft SP 800-46 Revision 1 by
