What is FDCC?
The Federal Desktop Core Configuration mandate, or FDCC, issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in 2007, requires federal agencies to standardize desktop configurations and to meet certain minimum security standards. FDCC is designed to provide a single, standard, enterprise-wide, managed environment for desktops and laptops running Microsoft Windows XP or Windows Vista. Federal government contractor systems that interface with federal government systems are also subject to FDCC requirements. • FDCC Related OMB Memoranda • OMB Memo M-07-11 • OMB Memo M-07-18 • OMB Memo Jul. 31, 2007 • OMB Memo Dec.
