    I think, process dependants on the structures of the organizations who
    created them... like security policies or any non-technical security
    documents. But maybe I'm wrong so I would like to know your point of view
    about that. In case I'm right, don't you think that it could be hard to
    write some "universall" process without re-falling in the write of a
    methodology.
