Hi everyone,
this should be an easy question, but I cant seem to find a good list.  so I figured I would ask my new favorite site!

What industry regulations require Pen Testing?  I know the sections in PCI, and I know HIPAA kinda almost suggests it.  What other regs state that you must?

From my experience (BS7799/ISO27001 standards) pen testing isn't required for standards but it is the de factor standard for 'proving' your security posture is working. Basically if you don't do pen-testing you better have a good reason for not doing it and be able to explain to the auditors why you feel your systems are secure without standard testing.
