Website Security Checklist
Essential action items
Verify that HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), Content Security Policy (CSP), and X-Frame-Options are fully configured in production to prevent clickjacking, downgrade attacks, and unauthorized script execution.
Completely isolate and restrict administrative portals (e.g., /admin, /dashboard) behind robust Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) controls and IP whitelists to thwart credential stuffing attacks.
Configure secure, automated off-site backup pipelines. Verify encryption standards for backups at rest and conduct periodic recovery readiness checks to ensure business continuity.
Decommission legacy TLS 1.0 and 1.1 protocols. Restrict SSL/TLS suites to modern, strong cryptographic ciphers (e.g., TLS 1.2/1.3) to prevent in-transit data interception.
Implement strict rate-limiting, secure CAPTCHA controls, and rigorous input sanitation across all public contact and query forms to defend against automated spam and injection attacks.
Ensure DMARC, SPF, and DKIM configuration records align exactly with authorized mailing servers to protect the domain's reputation and prevent email spoofing.
