yeah, if security is a major concern, then it should be up to them... 
if they don't even have a firewall, then just laugh at them (too many 
folks on DSL don't)...

it's not your problem, you are not a server admin nor do you want 
the hassle of trying to do it or outsource it... their system should 
be secure already, so have them secure on their own dime... if it's 
not secure, do not make it part of a web site project, it doesn't 
belong there...
