If I wanted someone to do this, I'd probably look at a security vendor
instead of a general purpose consulting firm.

Some examples off the top of my head might include IBM's ISS and
SecureWorks.

Depends on where you are... I've used Sysnet in Europe (www.sysnet.ie) and
they are excellent. We used Deloitte (

security-privacy-resiliency/pcidss/index.htm)
in non-european countries, with not such a good result (but other people may
have different experiences).

Regards,

Ken
