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.

Yes, but with PCI compliance the powers that be (credit card companies) can actually fine you big bucks for being non-compliant.

People buy SAS 70 compliant anything just because it's the latest buzzword, kind of like PCI compliance.

Hi,
I would really appreciate any recommendations for SAS70 Type II compliant colocation providers in Chicago, IL
Andy -
As an FYI, SAS 70 Type II compliance means whatever that provider's "SAS 70 Type II" audit document states for controls, i.e. there is no specific requirements associated with SAS 70 Type II, only that you publish a documented set of management and security controls and then are audited for compliance against that list. 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.
