Re: Budget for PCI DSS SAQ D for Bookstore Operations

[Joel Rosenblatt <joel () COLUMBIA EDU>]

How much do you have :-)

This was one of those projects that just kept on growing .. you should consider hiring a full time PCI Compliance person, you will also need to allocate 
(depending on the size of your operation) a security person to deal with the local scans.

We are working with Trustwave to provide an online portal to track all information, scans, provide and track training, 
do external scans, fill out SAQs, etc.

With all that was involved, it took us about a year just to get things under control (we have hundreds of MIDs and 
almost 1000 people to train)

So, with that said, a budget of a few 100K should do the trick :-)

Your mileage may (and I hope it does) vary .. we are driving a Hummer :-)
