If your network is perfectly secure, nagios is perfectly secure.
If your network is full of holes, I imagine someone would probably
exploit it another way besides nagios.

Nagios isn't going to add insecurity, assuming you're not doing
something ridiculous (checking on servers across public lines with
administrator-level passwords in open text).

If it's a closed network you're monitoring, I'd say you're quite safe.

Banks and other financial institutions trust it - is your stuff more
sensitive than that?

Regardless, it's open source.  If you want your engineers to review the
code to insure it's not some devious trojan, feel free.
