Answer 1

1/ Switch from using "mixed mode" authentication to windows accounts.

2/ If (and only if) an external service requires access to the SQL Server, permit access to the specific IP addresses required at the firewall.

3/ Put in place a VPN Network between the office and the data center.

4/ Persist IPs where those request comes from than ignore any request coming from those IPs. Check with your hosting provider if they offer any "IP deny" feature.
