How secure is a network if the unprotected subnet 12.xxx.xxx.xxx and
protected subnets 10.1.xxx.xxx and DMZ subnet 192.168.xxx.xxx are on the
same physical wire. It seems to me that this is a disaster waiting to
happen.

I am helping a friend at a small company and need help by pointing to
industry best practices to defend taking this apart and starting over. any
pointers to documentation is greatly appreciated.

I don't think I get this. If you have 3 networks on one wire please
explain how one us 'unprotected' and 2 are 'protected'.

You are talking about VLANS yes? If you are please send a diagram. VLANS can
be secure if done correctly. However, it is probably best to use separate
interfaces....send a diagram.

If these are on the same wire, then you are either VLANing or routing.
If you are doing either, rules can be applied to restrict/limit traffic.
Further any type of hardware firewall can also be inserted to add rules.
Your question is just too general to get any more specific.
