Hmm...the ones I've been involved with have to go through an independent third party audit to ensure that they are compliant. The independent auditor has to agree that they're practices are secure and satisfies the credit card company's security objectives. If it were that loose you'd see a lot more security breaches on the magnitude of the TJX breach. Chuck On Tue, Sep 22, 2009 at 8:53 PM, Jeffrey Lyon <jeffrey.lyon () blacklotus net> wrote:
Most of our customers just make up their own definition of PCI and then demand that we help them adhere to it.

That may not be realized by the folks who've sent you to go get SAS 70 Type II compliant hosting, but is something that you probably want to keep in mind since little items like generators and door locks aren't necessarily included. /John-- Jeffrey Lyon, Leadership Team jeffrey.lyon () blacklotus net | http://www.blacklotus.net Black Lotus Communications of The IRC Company, Inc.
