It's a balance. To paraphrase Steve Yegge: if you dial up security to 100 and accessibility (or in your case, working MVP) to 0, you die. If you dial up working to 100 and security to 0, you can win.

If you have no idea if this MVP has any promise, I'd seek the answer to that and do the barest of minimum security, provided you'll have the willingness to do it right immediately after getting any traction. That can be easy to say and hard to do, of course.
