In addition to what has been cited above, which are great (and important) factors, I cannot stress enough the fact that you need to have a Penetration test done on your website, and a vulnerability test.
Your database is as secure as the app under which it runs. Most companies don't employ penetration / vulnerability testing in their roll-outs for various reasons, cost being the primary reason.
Yet, if you are going to be doing sales on the Internet and are processing transactions and other data (related to privacy), do look into Pen/Vulnerability testing in your roll-out checklist.
