Thanks pumpkin.

I'm saying that there really is no set standard. There may be a "minimum" but by the time it's .......ized between all the agencies there really isn't a standard for security. At least nothing that doesn't exist outside of very minimal security practices like patching, antivirus and the like that every computer user should use anyway.

Please don't lecture me on IT security considering it's my job and my field.
