look into crypto (and I would read the posts here. the
build in crypto gets messed up fairly regularly leaving
people to ask "now how do i get that data back again?!") I
would never use it.

also look into file sharing, user rights and permissions,
networking permissions, and the like. The simple, easy way
is to open the sys-admin control panel stuff and start
reading the help. You can dig deeper on mircosoft.com, or
get a good book, or search the web.

advanced:
look at firewalls and add on security. For example, on our
server, a list of programs that are allowed to run is in
the firewall, and no other program may execute without
user interaction. This has stopped countless attempts by
hackers to install backdoors, yet leaves the system open
for our use.
