If it isn't written in the contract ( Bussiness SLA, or Security SLA) you signed with the folks that are hosting your website, then the onus falls back on the business itself.

I'm not sure, but I don't think there is any antivirus / anti-malware on the virtual server we are renting. Who's responsibility is it *normally* to handle security and Microsoft updates on a virtual server? I don't know the terms of our contract, so I can't say whether or not the hosting company is in violation of those terms or not. Just wondering how these things normally work.
