I have no idea how useful it is yet, but I'm currently evaluating
the CERT OCTAVE-S program. It appears to be what you're looking
for. The guides are free and downloadable. The full OCTAVE program
is for huge companies, but the OCTAVE-S program is for small (less than
a hundred or so employees) businesses. It's still overkill for a
mom & pop shop, but it's something.
It's designed to put the IT people and the business people in a room
and work out a site-specific security policy, to evaluate current
weaknesses and to lay out a security implimentation plan.
OCTAVE-S is currently at version 0.9, and version 1.0 is expected
soon.
