I always find the following to be useful when I'm in a hurry:

If you are into the information security standard (ISO 17799), I guess the most useful site for me is the user group:
http://www.17799.com

Although there's recently been launched an open source wiki on this which might prove to be good once it fills out:
http://iso-17799.safemode.org
