If anyone is coming to Phoenix for training and would like other hotel
recommendations, please contact me off list.

I work not far from the training location and know of several more
reasonable options.

I'd be interested in hearing this as well.  I inquired about QSA
recommendations a while back and only received a couple of replies, so
any more information is welcome.



If you're interested in developing internal knowledge on PCI DSS
standards and compliance, the PCI council just posted the planned
standards training sessions for the first half of 2010.  There's only
one session in the US, in Phoenix in Feb.
https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/education/training.shtml   It's
supposed to be very similar to the training received by the official
Qualified Security Assessors for PCI-DSS (although I expect most QSAs
learn a lot from their colleagues and on the job training).

*Subject:* [SECURITY] Consultant recommendations for PCI DSS
compliance work?





Hello,



In evaluating PCI DSS compliance, I've found that there are a number
of different possible solutions as well as conflicting answers on what
can be compliant. While I'm confident that our internal IT staff could
build up sufficient expertise to ultimately address the compliance
requirements, I think we need to look to outside guidance from those
that have expertise with PCI DSS compliance.



Can anyone recommend a vendor that they have worked with to assist
them on PCI DSS compliance? I'm not looking for a general security
consultant; I need the PCI expertise specific to the IT side but with
a very strong knowledge of the entire set of requirements for PCI DSS
compliance.



Thanks,

Greg
