I can only assume he is knocking the WP based cms, as WP is full of holes.
You probably haven't had decent pentesters or security researchers have a go at your script. Boasting about security is a foolish path to take for any vendor in your market space.

As for Wordpress, it's not full of holes. Don't confuse the platform with plugins or themes that introduce security risks.

CMS platforms are only as good as the weakest component, if a bad guy can inject SQL or run XSS attacks then all the external 3rd party security in the world might be for naught.

I'm pretty amazed to read both of your statements on security, for vendors of such high profile systems - neither of you seems to have a clue.
