Frequently Asked Question

Frequently Asked Question

Is frame relay considered a private network and are there any encryption requirements?

In general, frame relay can be considered private if it is dedicated to the customer’s traffic. The PCI DSS requires encryption for transmission of cardholder data over public networks, not private networks.
