Thank you for detailed comment. It is very insightful. I wanted to look over what you had written and see if I had any questions. You have given me a perspective I didn't have before. It's still a tall order for me to tackle, but I have a better focus on what I'm looking at and what I will produce.<br />
&nbsp;I couldn't do this without you! This has the most wisdom in one comment I have ever seen.

I am looking for examples of a configuration management plan that describes baseline security/applications/prog<wbr />rams for workstations and servers. I have found lots of information on how to do this in a large company by using lots of people to hold lots of meetings and write lots of papers. I only have me. I'm looking for some generic example of what this would look like. Maybe it's writer's block. Key words would be NIST and cyber security.<br />
I'm hoping you have come across something like this in the past.

Example of configuration management plan

The cyber security specialization covers the fundamental concepts underlying the construction of secure systems, from the hardware to the software to the human-computer interface, with the use of cryptography to secure interactions. Cyber security refers to the protection of personal or organizational information or information resources from unauthorized access, attacks, theft, or data damage. This includes controlling physical access to the hardware, as well as protecting against the harm that may come via network access, data and code injection, and due to malpractice by operators, whether intentional, accidental, or due to them being tricked into deviating from secure procedures.

Cyber Security

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
