Vendor Compliance With InfoSec Guidelines

DirectPointe provides managed computing services that include remote PC and Network Management services. We are working with a community bank in Utah that is interested in our services, but is concerned with any regulatory issues that may not allow us to have remote access to their network and PCs (since their network is connected to a service bureau, which has confidential information). Can you provide any information/insight into this issue? Can we provide remote services and if so, does our company need to meet certain requirements? Please let me know if you have recommendations.
