This is a bit of a sticky wicket..... let me see if I can try to explain it.. If and when the Bank goes thru a Security Test / Audit, they are going to need SSAE-16 certification from all of their 'transport' providers. If you are providing them with an Internet Connection, and they can do what they please, then it becomes their problem. However if and when the Auditors ask for the SSAE-16 cert, and it becomes a must for the bank to have it, then you will loose... (SSAE-16 cert is not simple, easy nor in-expensive to get). As for Law Enforcement agencies, I don't have much info on what they require. Your Mileage may vary.
