Just as a guess--I'm no longer an expert in DNA binding proteins--but most naturally occurring zinc-finger motifs are nonspecific because they have only a limited number of fingers and thus recognize only a limited number of base pairs. I'd assume that SGMO's engineered products will contain more fingers and thus have greater specificity.
