Security when connecting to EC2 instance

I have just built a cloud using AWS.

It includes a few servers including an RDS.

The RDS server is running an accounting application. I have limited access to this server to a certain security group, I've also set up some group policy.

What I wanted to know is, what security can I put in place to protect the server.. i.e. before users even get logged into it?

Maybe something like a dial in VPN, something that users have to authenticate with before they have the option of accessing the RDS server.

It sounds like this might be a fit for an Amazon private cloud. The pricing is the same as for public instances, the thing you pay for is the VPN access on a per connection / per hour basis.
