What kind of federal agent was Phillip Sheppard on the TV show survivor?
Phillip Sheppard was a former "federal agent". He claims he was a Special Agent with the former DIS (Defense Investigative Service) under the DoD (Dept of Defense) which is now the DSS (Defense Security Service). The DSS is NOT a Federal law enforcement organization and does not have police powers. The Special Agent (1811) position IS a sworn Federal law enforcement officer, however, those agents generally conduct background investigations for employees in the DoD/military. The DIS/DSS is not to be confused with the Diplomatic Security Service DSS in the State Dept, which does employ gun-toting/arrest-making Special Agents.

The DSS is NOT a Federal law enforcement organization and does not have police powers.

On the reunion episode of Survivor's Season 22 - Jeff Probst invited a current federal agent named Diane Hardy who went through training with Phillip and cleared up any misconceptions viewers had about Phillip Sheppard.

Who protects Hillary Clinton?
The Secret Service is in charge of protecting our leaders. That is partly correct. Many agencies have protective duties. Most of the time, however, whenever "guys in dark suits and sunglasses with earpieces" are seen with a US person of interest, it is just assumed to be the US Secret Service. In this instance, the US Department of State's Diplomatic Security Service is charged with protecting the Secretary of State, in this case Hilllary Clinton. DSS as they're known protects the Secretary wherever she goes in the world, 24/7. There's a unique situation with Mrs. Clinton also being a former First Lady. The arrangement that was reached was that DSS protects Mrs. Clinton during all official functions, including international travel, and the USSS protects her on her down (free, or personal) time. Both agencies work very well together, despite the wrongfully assumed "turf wars" that people think exist. Although not known as well as the USSS, the DSS is the most widely represented Federal Law Enforcement branch of the US government, with agents posted in most every foreign country that the US has an Embassy or Consulate, as the DSS' agents are also responsible for security of Americans, American facilities and classified information overseas. You can find references to the DSS in movies such as US Marshals, where Robert Downy Jr. playes a rather bad DSS agent. Another reference can be found in the movie with Angelina Jolie, where she plays the wife of the slain reporter Daniel Pearl. The name escapes me, but it may be called A Brave Heart (?). Ms. Jolie's character liaises with the "RSO," which in DSS terms stands for Regional Security Officer - a.k.a. a DSS agent serving overseas. Another RSO reference can be found in the movie The Kingdom. When Jamie Fox's team goes to investigate a bombing in KSA, it was the RSO who was killed by the second blast. Not very uplifting examples, but examples nontheless. When not protecting Secretary Clinton, Foreign Ministers, the Dalai Lama, British Royalty, etc., the DSS investigates passport and visa fraud in the US. Just like the USSS investigates counterfeiting, the DSS has a vital role in upholding many USC's such as 18 USC 1028(A), 1542, 1544, 1001, etc. There are much fewer domestic field offices in the DSS than let's say the FBI, but the DSS agents manage to cover every state in the country and often liaise with their counterparts at the aforementioned Embassies and Consulates. This is often quite handy when the US Marshal Service comes asking about a fugitive they can not locate on their own. Career opportunities as a DSS agent can be found on the DSS website, which you can find by Googling Diplomatic Security Service. I hope this clears up the misconception that all of those stiffs walking with important people are Secret Service!

How can a company ensure compliance with PCI-DSS requirements?
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) is a set of security standards designed to ensure that companies that process, store, or transmit credit card information maintain a secure environment. To ensure compliance with PCI-DSS requirements, a company can follow the following steps: Determine the scope: The first step is to determine which systems, processes, and people are in scope for PCI-DSS compliance. This involves identifying all the cardholder data that the company handles and the systems that process, store, or transmit this data. Conduct a gap analysis: Once the scope is determined, the company should conduct a gap analysis to identify areas where they fall short of PCI-DSS requirements. This involves reviewing the current security controls and comparing them against the PCI-DSS requirements to identify gaps. Develop a remediation plan: Based on the gap analysis, the company should develop a remediation plan to address the identified gaps. This may involve implementing new security controls or modifying existing ones. Implement security controls: The company should implement the security controls identified in the remediation plan. This may include things like encryption, access controls, and network segmentation. Monitor and test security controls: The company should regularly monitor and test the security controls to ensure that they are working effectively. This may involve performing vulnerability scans, penetration testing, and other forms of testing. Report compliance: Finally, the company should report its compliance with PCI-DSS requirements to its acquiring bank or payment processor. This involves completing a Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) or having a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) perform an on-site assessment. By following these steps, a company can ensure compliance with PCI-DSS requirements and maintain a secure environment for processing, storing, and transmitting credit card information.
