Quick thought, there are some solid guidelines available, suggest you start by searching for "database security assessment" and "database security guidelines".
Would recommend bringing in an expert as the topic is wast and somewhat complex, a quick high level (incomplete) outline: Windows (Host OS) security, Network (topological, protocols, segmentation, access limitations etc.), SQL Server (users, privileges, authentication mode, defaults etc.), Physical (if applicable), Application (authentication, session control, parametrization, query construction etc.).
There can be and often is a thin line between security and usability, far too often one finds the former being relaxed for the benefit of the latter.
