Hello all...  Finally something I can contribute on!


There is a Standard (I think it's either BS 7799 or ISO 7799) that gives clear lines of responsibility to all involved.  Taking a look at the NHS model is extremely useful (and publicly available), as they obviously hold some of the most sensitive data around.


Try http://www.imt4nhs.exec.nhs.uk/ or (I think it's live now) http://www.nhsia.nhs.uk/ as a starting point.
