It all depends on what's your site for.
We are talking here about availability wanted, information value, image
value, lots of things.
How soon can you gring it up ?
Does it matters ($$$, time, resoures) a lot if it gets hacked ? and if
it does so what ?
Do you make money out of it ? how much ?
Are you just talking about "outbound access" (if it realy exists in that
state?) ?
Consider good anti-viruses thingys. Odd things just come in... and then
get out..
Kinda __large__ grey area.
Think about it first, or talk to someone, or take it in small trunks
(problems).
For instance:
is traffic get in or out ?
whats does what ?
remote access to internal resources ?
displaying information on web server ?
how is information updated ?
who ? from where ?
and so on...
I know it didn´t helped a lot, but I always prefer a good start.
