RE: PCI DSS Compliance

["Craig Wright" <cwright () bdosyd com au>]

The entire document and all associated pages.
 
An automated, not verified process does not meet the scaning/testing requirements. It is thus entirely irrelivant to 
the discussion as it will not help you be compliant.
 
All up for "simple systems" and low volume site requiring low level testing have still over 100 pages of requirement 
documents. The summary of 12 points is not the entire process. There are separate scan and testing processed that need 
to be done.
 
Application tests need to be done.
A method to ensure that all systems are single use need to be implemented
etc etc
 
As stated - this is for Low volume simple sites. More detailed sites need to be formally audited to a level that make a 
SAS 70 part 2 look simple.
 
CardSystems was never compliant for example as they never had a valid test as per the PCI DSS.

        I did read it.  Did you even read my post?  I had only commented on the
        automated, not verified process that appeared to be used by this
        particular vendor and then on the senselessness of the process (the myth
        of patching).
