SF - 3.12.0 - OCTAVE
OCTAVE is definitely a security framework, since it deals specifically with risk management. Unfortunately it's rather specialized, since it only deals with risk management. OCTAVE is actually an acronym, standing for Operationally Critical Threat, Asset, and Vulnerability Evaluation. It was created by Carnegie Mellon university, who also basically gave us the capability maturity model idea.
It is extremely good at determining risk management. Unfortunately, it is rather over engineered. Therefore, it is unlikely that OCTAVE will be useful to your company, unless your company has a minimum of about 5,000 employees.
There is a reduced version, known as Allegro (in keeping with the musical theme), which is probably suitable for small or medium-sized businesses. For those at the smaller end of the small business range, you probably simply want to go with the plan of getting as many people as you can together, thinking of everything that can possibly go wrong, and then figuring out what you're going to do about it.
