I can't seem to find the definition for the above.

The BATFE website has all of the answers you need to start and operate your business. It takes some reading and a little searching but you should be able to find answers to any of your questions. As an example:
Secure storage definition =
18 U.S.C. 921(a)(34))
(34) The term "secure gun storage or safety device" means-
(A) a device that, when installed on a firearm, is designed to prevent the firearm from being operated without first deactivating the device;
(B) a device incorporated into the design of the firearm that is designed to prevent the operation of the firearm by anyone not having access to the device; or
(C) a safe, gun safe, gun case, lock box, or other device that is designed to be or can be used to store a firearm and that is designed to be unlocked only by means of a key, a combination, or other similar means.
If you need more clarification you'll need to contact BATFE directly by phone.
Best.
But, we're both guessing. You need to call your local ATF office & discuss it with an agent.

If you don't want to afford or can't afford proper security, maybe you should rethink your desire to have this type of business.
Yes, the Stack-on cabinets will 'meet the requirements' but you should consider that minimum protection is not the right answer in this situation. Your desire for proper security should be your guide not the price tag of some cheap storage units that can be broken into with a crowbar.
BATFE will probably point this out in your first pre-license interview but do as you see fit.
Best.

But at least, lock your pry-bars, drills and cutting tools inside.
My burgulars used my own tools.
