    I have been reading about the reponses on "Security Audit" and I have learnt
    quite a lot. I am currently working on implementing a security policy for my
    organisation, before we hire some security consultant for review.  I think
    vulnerability assessment goes hand in hand with penetration testing.
    
    Would one do a vulnerability assessment first and then penetration testing?
    Are there any sites I can find out more on penetration testing  and
    vulnerability testing. What about free tools I could use for penetration
    testing.
