There is no such profile.  I'd love it if someone wrote one.

When the FTP security stuff was being debated, John Myers proposed a 5
page SASL-based alternative to the 27 page RFC 2228.  Incidentally, the
CAT WG (a security area WG) ignored John's proposal.  I suppose one could
draw some conclusions from this and the subsequent deployment patterns of
RFC 2228.
