    I ran across these publications in an ISSEP seminar; the first link covers a
    lot of publications addressing all things security, the second contains
    specific details on security audits/penetration testing.

    Try:
    http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/nistpubs/

    Specifically:

    Anyone have any documents they are willing to share on the scope of work for
    a pen-test? I have looked online but was unable to find any available
    documentation. If anyone could provide me with a some links or
    documentation outlining a pen-test/network audit it would be greatly
    appreciated.
