That's what I thought, until I read this document:

https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/pdfs/pci_dss_technical_and_operational_requirements_for_approved_scanning_vendors_ASVs_v1-1.pdf

Check out the changes on page 4-11. How do you interpret this?


Larry,
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to provide tips on how/what to scan - to be
 
safe I won't. I can tell you however that there are 5 levels of risk 
ratings in the PCI/DSS standards, where as Nessus has but three (four
 if 
you count INFO). I would recommend some extensive reading of the 
www.pcisecuritystandards.org PCI/DSS document itself, along with ALL of
 
the support documents.

Here's the link to the file that has the actual risk ratings for PCI 
standards. You will need to come up with a system (internal to your 
company) to map the nessus ratings to these.

The test is not trivial.
