Question about secure recommendations

Hi,

I've taken some steps on my Zen Cart website in order to prevent me getting hacked. I started from this point and applied these recommendations:
https://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.php/Important_Site_Security_Recommendations

I'd like to know if there is anything else beyond this that can be applied to harden Zen website. Or what would you do else on your website?

One additional question about the secure recommendations.

In order to secure images folder it says that we should create a custom .htaccess file with the code listed bellow. My question is: should this custom file be created in images folder or the main .htaccess file (in the same folder where index.html is) should be edited?

# Prevent directory viewing and the ability of any scripts to run.
# No script, be it PHP, PERL or whatever, can normally be executed if ExecCGI is disabled.
OPTIONS -Indexes -ExecCGI

Thank you for support!
