Is there a BCP that covers security for SCADA?

Note that Google for "BCP SCADA" finds
  BS-25999 Business Continuity Plan Implementation Checklist ...

Suppose a friend of yours was a low-level geek working for either a 
user/operator of a SCADA system or a vendor of software/hardware for that 
market.  If he asked you for info about security, where would you send him?  
(Assume he knows all about SCADA but little about networks or security.)

For that matter, is there any good security info for small to medium sized 
businesses?  Say a local store, travel agency, or doctor/dentist.
