Kevin,

Not to be cheeky, but your point?

Are you inferring that if we are in compliance we are not "secure"
(however you might measure that, test that, etc.) and therefore we
shouldn't bother with compliance? Is this another variation of the
whole "standards provide a false sense of security" argument,
therefore we should sit on our hands or endlessly argue about what it
means to be "secure." Been there/seen that....
