You're new in the industry, aren't you? :)
The point you're missing is that the vast majority of computers aren't covered
by said certifications and standards. And most of the certifications are
merely a money grab by the auditors - the last numbers I found, something like
98% of breaches of systems that were covered by PCI were of systems that at
the time of the breach were PCI-compliant. In other words, being PCI
compliant
didn't actually slow the attackers down one bit.
You social engineer your way into the 5th office building you pass, pick a
random PC on the 4th floor - I'll bet you that PC is probably *not* running
sufficient monitoring to detect an intruder rebooting it and messing with
the system.
