If I wanted to I could have my computer running a VPS with 13 GB of ram aloted and close all ports with outbound requests only. I could then use that Virtual machine to run the wallets. No ports being forwarded or any direct communications from anything. The servers decide their job based off of the Mysql Database they are connected to through a virtual network that is hub and spoke managed.

Its actually a little more complicated because if your webserver has access to the MYSQL db, then I could hypothetically just go and make changes in Mysql and take all your funds. You need to think how to ensure that even if I get access to the Mysql DB connected to the webserver, I shouldn't be able to cause any damage financially.
