ITSEC: IST SOLL Matrices: huh?

I'm hoping for some assistance from the European members.

I'm looking for documentation on IST SOLL matrices. I have found a little info by searching the interwebs, but no good documentation IN ENGLISH. I found some in German, but translating is a time-consuming pain.

It appears to be a practice that is used in the US for IT security, but nothing so formalized. I really like the concept but need a little more info like software packages used, companies that use it, actual training, any book or reference that mentions it would be helpful.

I'm working on learning German, but don't have the time to delve into the technical jargon until after I finish WGU.

I am not quite sure what an IST SOLL matrices is. However, IST describes the situation that something IS in right now, SOLL describes what it SHOULD be. Does that help you in any way?

I am german so maybe I can help you in summarizing some of the things. Send me a PM, if I can help you.

This is an example of a job listing, slightly censored, since I have applied. I don't think that not having this experience would make you not eligible, but I will see.

I have seen this listed in many other job postings as well.
