Amazingly, Tizor Systems does PCI reviews (actually they entirely seem to do C&A work), and I'm sure Prat would prefer to see the PCI gravy train stay around. (I don't know the current state of the industry, but when I was working in a consulting group 2004-2005, PCI reviews were our most profitable engagement type by a large margin - and non-technical enough that you can put a person with a few months of security training on them and they'll do fine). -Jack --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
