>>what kind of security process is there to insure no cyber threats?

Dmitry, not sure what services you plan to provide. Will you be hosting customer data? Or is he concerned you might distribute apps carrying virus or other payload? Will you have remote access to his servers or systems?

I have customers with very strong security concerns, especially after embarrassing and expensive breaches by competitors. I'd advocate a 3 pronged approach:

1) Apps: do you have a signing certificate? Signing ensures that viruses and other sneaks can't quietly latch onto your work. Windows makes it easy for the customer to validate the signature to ensure that the app hasn't been altered since you compiled it.
2) Infrastructure: internally you have standard firewalling routers with most ports closed, proven paid security software on all machines inside the firewall, and all the standard security measures. Regular scans etc etc. Does he have anything specific that he'd like to see? Otherwise you're sufficiently confident that if he'd like to send a security consultant to overview, you're more than happy to host them.
3) Remote Access: if involved, you do need some sort of policy involving access so that malicious people can't use you as a Trojan Horse into their systems. If they're very concerned, you might suggest use of Gotomeeting sessions where his own staffer gives you control of his screen so you can do your work under supervision. The Gotomeeting sessions are one-offs with no other access into his system. Offer it as an option if there's particular sensitivity, otherwise standard password management for remote access.

My experience so far is that people want to see that you've thought about these things and have protective policies, rather than que sera sera.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
