    What do you think I have 15 acres of woods for?

    Woods are good. They provide fuel for fire and draw game to your vicinity.

    You also need access to fresh water and a hilltop with clear fields of fire in all directions.

    Check, check, check, check... Ammo, canned food, scout skills....

    I have experience using Shotgun and rifles... I can hunt for food.... Can I join the bunker ?? My island is not the right place to be when SH** hits the fan...:hehe:

    Don't hide, Adam, learn to manage. These people will be doing the SQL Server equivalent of "do you want fries with that" as you point them in the right direction.

    Would you like an apple pie with that?

    By the way, Adam. I thought you said that you didn't have time to keep up with The Thread about a dozen posts ago. Be careful, because it can be addictive. Watch out you don't turn into a Threadhead.

    Oh yeah, don't worry about me. I can quit whenever I want. I'll unsubscribe any day now.

    I have heard that story many times. That is why they have treatment centers.

    Without a kilt, how does one expect to get AC?

    have you ever seen a traditional Indian dress from my state of Kerala? It is a long peace of cloth that you tie around your wait. In the end it will look like a kilt.

    Edit First Pic on the left(Guy with the elephant). Will that be OK?

    Don't know, but as the forum indicates he is still logged on, I hope I didn't scare away this OP.

    Just asked for what we always ask for in order to better help.

    Lynn, I think I figured out what he's looking for.

    Edit: when posting this message, I got a "forbidden" page, so I hit the back button and posted again... only to find out it then posted twice. Sorry for the double-post.

    Anyone here going through PCI compliance or recently finished? Curious as to what things to consider going forward, SQL wise, as we're now in the thick of it and I have to bring up any concerns.

    Thanks.

    Thanks.

    Did it - didn't particularly like the process.

    #1 Security

    #2 Processes

    #3 Roles and adherence to the defined rolls

    #4 It is a lot easier to work with a vendor who is PCI compliant and pass a token to them rather than a CC #

    #5 Encryption

    #6 Keys must be backed up and rotated - and they must be created from a different system than your current Server.

    #7 Discuss all things with your auditor. They should give you plenty of help or options for sticking points.

    1. Security: working on it...

    2. Processes: what's a process? 😀 (yeah I know, this is forcing us to think)

    3. Roles: probably the easiest piece so far we're dealing with

    4. Vendor: We have a vendor (Ingrian/Safenet) as a device in our company that does the encryption of our CC#'s.

    5. Encryption: See 4...but also have to see how this becomes in scope.

    6. Keys backed up definitely, rotation...working on that. Keys stored on the Ingrian device.

    7. working on that...

    Thanks for the tips.

    To this I'll be adding logging, as that's a separate workstream we're going through.

    I'm going to unsubscribe right after I read the next post after this one. Or maybe just a couple more after that. We'll see, but definitely sometime in the next few days, maybe a week or two max.

    Cool - you sound totally across this, so no worries there.

    Just in case you know anyone else with a Thread problem, I think Steve has some patches and gum you your friend could try.

    A greenhouse trip might help too!

    Yep. I'd only start to worry if you start finding SSC notification emails stashed around the house in unlikely places.
