Hello guys,

I am working in a security company that provides professional services in Quebec, Canada. Besides other services, we are doing penetration testing, and soon we will provide other services (as monitoring, vulnerability scanning & others).

My question is if you consider (given your personal experience or known from close contacts) that it is a good thing to became ASV (and if it is profitable, not a hole in the budget).

Also, I would like to convince my boss to became QSA (and I would like to be one of them). Do you have any idea if > 20.000$ / Yr invested in this is a gain or loss for a company.

I hope that you understand my dilemma and I am waiting for your answers.

Thank you!

We have considered the same thing in my company several times over the last few years.   So far, we can't justify the cost.   We are a small company and that's a good chunk of change for us.  Unless we have a couple of clients signed up for a PCI audit, I don't see us doing it at this stage.  In other words, profitability would depend on your ability to market these services.   Just because you are PCI ASV or QSA, I am not sure you would have clients knocking on your door.
