OISSG call for participation

["Omar A. Herrera" <omar.herrera () oissg org>]

The Open Information Systems Security Group (OISSG) invites the information
security community to participate in the development of the Information
Systems Security Assessment Framework (ISSAF). 

ISSAF is an evolving project that aims to provide guidance and best
practices security assessments (security audits and penetration tests
included). This 1000+ pages document is an effort to develop a generally
accepted framework on Information Systems Security Assessment. It aims to be
complete by providing both technical and non-technical information to
conduct security assessments, based on the experience of several security
professionals from all over the world. 

This is purely a voluntary effort and there are no monetary issues involved
that might lead to a possible conflict of interest.

Participation is open to all information security professionals.
