Scenario: systems gets hacked (very simple if it's just a load of machines plugged into various hubs/home routers), customer details stolen, intrusion traced back to your machines, find out what data was stored and how, now you're to blame for what could be anything from ID fraud, to £££££££'s being stolen.

Sounds extreme, but it happens! Get your security sorted!
