Hi,
With any e-commerce or buisness site it's always worth getting your site tested for vulnerabilities - you can either do this yourself or get someone else to do it for you. I always recommend getting someone else to do it as they may think or do things that you hadn't thought of. The tests that are worth running are:

1. Patches and hotfixes - test your site\server and applications to make sure all the latest patched are installed.
2. SQL Injection attacks to any logins, search boxes etc.
3. Brute force and dictionary attacks to your logins
4. All of the vulnerabilities listed in SANS, CERT etc.

Cheers IW
