In reality we have one true measure regarding to security and its perception in the Bitcoin community: time passed since last big fuck-up.

It was just reset to zero yesterday. In the particular case of MtGox, we have it running at under a year still.
It's not really a "fuck-up" if the server provider is compromised. the mtgox breach was caused by a employee that had access to the db, which is totally different.
