I don't know if there are any tools which specifically do this, but you should be able to do it using any full-text indexing tool and your own code. We've done this sort of thing quite a bit. For example, in Verity, you might create separate collections to represent security-specific content groups, then when you perform a search, you'd check to see to what groups that user belongs, then search the appropriate collections.
