In addition to what AdamT has mentioned, fix your scope and requirement before settling for the details. More importantly why you want to do that assessment? Compliance? You need to understand the requirement of carrying out such task because if you are the one who conduct the assessment, it may not be a valid test because you are not the independant party. As for tools to carry such assessment, there are some commercial tools available to recommend but it all depend on the features you want. Human effort is needed in the case of source code review and some customised script testing. No single tools will do the 100% jobs. Thus certain skill sets are needed to conduct such testing. Hope this helps.
