    Hi
    
    I was overwhelmed at the response i got out here. I must express my
    gratitude.
    The SAS70 doc is not available freely. U have to purchase it. INMO if you
    are in the line of Auditing networks and Pen Testing, it would be a good
    investment.
    
    Regards
    
    Anup

    I think The pentest for a financial institution should conform to SAS 70
    document for financial information security. Go thro the document.. you
    should have a fair enuff idea..

    Hi all,
    
    Which keypoints should be taken in account when sizing a pen test (for a
    financial institution that wants to check the vulnerabilities of their
    intranet systems vulnerability).  Should it be charged x hour? X server?
    X Deliverables?
    
    Basically, they have 10 Sun 450e and 10 W2k servers on their intranet,
    and a PIX in to work as a FW in front of them.
    
    Thx,
    
    Leo
