I have no idea how this would be implemented. It seems to me what is needed is some sort of security rating system/standard. Let's say it runs from level 1 to level 5 where level 1 is "use at your own risk" and level 5 is "bullet proof". I don't know who would would oversee this (Comptia?) but it would at least give the consumer some idea of what they were dealing with. That would leave room for uncertified software. (Again, use at your own risk).
