have a look at Adamantix, which was formerly known as "trusteddebian"
(http://www.trusteddebian.org/) and is some kind of a secured (mini) debian
based distribution.

If you just want a kernel, with almost everything in there belonging
to security, have a look at WOLK (Working OverLoaded Kernel)
at  http://sourceforge.net/projects/wolk

Hope that helps.

best regards
