The BSD version of ps has an option to display the environment of the processes it lists. So in general that is not secure. If you must do that, you can limit the window of exposure by putting the data in the environment just before invoking the script. And then in the script, reset the environment as the first operation.
Try to use a pipe instead.
echo $secretstuff | some_script
and in the script do:
read secretstuff
