The entire document and all associated pages.
An automated, not verified process does not meet the scaning/testing
requirements. It is thus entirely irrelivant to the discussion as it will not
help you be compliant.
All up for "simple systems" and low volume site requiring low level testing
have still over 100 pages of requirement documents. The summary of 12 points is
not the entire process. There are separate scan and testing processed that need
to be done.
Application tests need to be done.
A method to ensure that all systems are single use need to be implemented
etc etc
As stated - this is for Low volume simple sites. More detailed sites need to be
formally audited to a level that make a SAS 70 part 2 look simple.
CardSystems was never compliant for example as they never had a valid test as
per the PCI DSS.

I did read it. Did you even read my post? I had only commented on the
automated, not verified process that appeared to be used by this
particular vendor and then on the senselessness of the process (the myth
of patching).
