Accessing Web Reports and Dashboards from Internet

We are thinking of giving our users remote access to Web Reports and Dashboards from internet. Currently they access them through Tessitura client and internal URLs from within the Ballet Network. Our Network Team will create two external URLs to redirect them to the internal websites. Have any of you already done this and do you have any comment or suggestion on the following two issues?
 
 
1. Since we are not segregating reports for internal vs external access and users will be able to access all the SSRS reports and Dashboard Widgets available to their User Groups, some of which may pull lots of data and none is specially optimized for a slow connection, I am a little concerned about the overall performance. Last thing we want them to be discouraged because of a report or a dashboard takes a longtime to load on their handheld or other devices. I understand in some cases we have to rely on users' judgement.
 
 
2. Since all the incoming and outgoing requests will pass through our firewall and all the users will be authenticated by the Tessitura logins, I guess there is no major concern about security and we are not breaking any PCI rule here.
 
Thanks for any comment/suggestion and it will be great if you can share your experience. Thanks!
 
Best,
