That's a good question.  I only know about the requirement I put myself,
namely that

* edits can be restricted to people who have
  registered and account and confirmed an email sent to them

In the admin pages I also see

* blocking of IP numbers or users

* group membership management, and protection of certain pages so that
  edits are restricted to members of certain groups.

There is a lot more about access control in

* http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Access_control

I haven't studied it in detail.  If state our policy, then we can check
that it's doable.

Then there is the question of the quality of the code from a security
point of view.  I am not too worried since it is in such widespread use
and the development is open.  As with any webapp, we should keep track
of security announcements.
