If I wanted someone to do this, I'd probably look at a security vendor

Some examples off the top of my head might include IBM's ISS and
SecureWorks.

Depends on where you are... I've used Sysnet in Europe  
(www.sysnet.ie) and
they are excellent. We used Deloitte (
http://www.deloitte.com/view/en_GX/global/services/enterprise-risk-services/
security-privacy-resiliency/pcidss/index.htm)
in non-european countries, with not such a good result (but other  
people may
have different experiences).

Anyone have any suggestions for a decent vendor that provides network
penetration testing? We have a customer requirement for a third party
test for a certain facility. Have you used anyone that you thought  
did a
great job?  Anyone you would suggest avoiding?

Replies can be sent off list and I will summarize any feedback I  
might
get from the community if anyone is interested.
