Any time you have customer data going over the wire, SSL is a must, except 
*maybe* if it's an all internal app.
CFQP is a must too, no excuse.
You'll probably want to pen. test your login system, and look at cookie 
stealing.
But you don't have time to assess all that in 45 minutes...

You should also talk to a lawyer about what you are and are not liable for, 
depending on where your server is.
