RE: nessus to PCI

Even if Nessus was certified, MC/Visa have a Qualified Security Assessors
list that I believe you must choose from
as of 12/20/04 it was at
https://sdp.mastercardintl.com/vendors/vendor_list.shtml - you could use
Nessus for preliminary
scans though and I think that some of the "Qualified Assessors" may use
Nessus as I have seen things that suggest it
in logs.

Unless you can get the Nessus Open Source Vulnerability Scanner project team
to certify Nessus with the Visa & MasterCard PCI program, I would not advise
using this tool for client engagements.

Mr. Wizard.
