The following is great book http://clickthru.online.com/Click?q=41-qqL1IEKdoKOXLLfU9MwYkAoB
for Disaster Recovery but is there a book with sample Procedures and Policies. They never suggest solutions just un-cover problems. When we have our IS Audits from both independants and mandatory auditors they leave a large trail of work for us.
I always say why re-invent the wheel. So is there a book out there on this topic.

Thanks Dan.

Dan,
I didn't find a complete policy solution in an IT book, but you can find a good set of policy templates at www.compupol.com . They offer 33 IT policy templates in Word format for only $95. You can tailor them to your specific company structure. It's a cheap price to stop making that new wheel.

I have a book called, "Information Systems Policies and Procedures Manual," authored by George Jenkins and published by Prentice Hall. It is very comprehensive, and, for me, well worth the investment. With a few modifications, I used it as a template for my own P&P. Like you said, "Why reinvent the wheel."
