Federal Desktop

In collaboration with DHS, DISA, NSA, USAF, and Microsoft, TOG has worked with NIST to provide resources for testing, implementing, and deploying the Microsoft Windows XP and Vista Federal Desktop Core Configuration (FDCC) baseline.

The Federal Desktop baseline provides an excellent and easy means for an organization to quickly assess the security of their personal computers.  While most organizations will not opt for the complete protection offered by the FDCC, it is a very good place to start.
