Well I probably would not allow registrations, It allows guest comments I assume?.

I most likely would not use any plugins or very few. And I would relocate the admin panel and probably put a secondary password for access through htaccess if that works with Wordpress.

Any security measures I can find for the version I will implement and if needed I will deffinitely ask for some securing help because I am not really a CMS guy, I worked with MyBB and secured MyBB a lot but that is obviously different.

Also CloudFlare would help to an extent not by much. I always use CloudFlare because even though its not the best it does have some benefits.

It does work and that's a very good idea. Requiring registration for comments is not a terrible idea.
