This is what happens when non-professional IT people are looking after
a network. I find it telling that the boss decided on his own there
should not be "Internet anything" even though email access would be
useful, obviously without consulting a professional, 'cause it would
be extremely easy to give users email access without www access using
POP accounts. Particularly so as you have a server - makes me wonder
what it is serving.

Anyway, the point is the boss should put some time and effort into
finding and qualifying a good, professional IT company that will
configure and maintain the system to the specifications they develop
together. This is all the boss's fault, IMO.

As to whether they could hack your system - sounds like 'hack' is
overkill - the system is probably not secured properly - nothing to
hack - just poke around and get in.
