Can anyone provide links to sites or books or just be helpful by
providing information on how a security review is approached? I am not
really looking for information on analyzing a particular system or
trying to exploit a given service--that information is more than readily
available on the net and at the bookstore. Rather, I would like an
overview of how a security audit is performed.

Have you really read the "Security Audit" thread ?

I have been reading through it. It contains some excellent information,
but I am also looking for something that provides a good outline, rather
than a bit of information here and another bit there. 

Here a link to the Open-Source Security Testing Manual :

Excellent! Very nice.
