Yea - a professional knows when to walk away - after thanking
the client for the opportunity, explaining why doing the job
would not be in your/your companies interest, and explaining
the terms under which you would be happy to do the work.

It is not always about being a professional either. For 
instance, is the engagement going to be risky for your own 
company image? Let's say your company is given this 
assignment by AgencyX and AgencyX has a very high profile 
incident. AgencyX and/or the media will likely drag your name 
into the issue because you gave them a clean bill of health 
with an asterisk after it explaining that some constraints 
were made...

Just the act of saying "Secure...but with huge glaring holes" 
may be too much risk for you.
