Security is an integral part of the brand experience, reflecting a commitment to reliability that users can feel. A well-secured website instills confidence and supports business growth, particularly for startups targeting enterprise clients.
Transport security is non-negotiable, with HTTPS enforced across all pages using HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) and automatic redirection from HTTP to HTTPS. Modern security headers, including Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, and Permissions-Policy, are implemented to reduce the attack surface and protect against common vulnerabilities.
Secrets management is handled with care, ensuring no credentials appear in logs or repositories, with documented rotation policies in place. Backups are conducted frequently, tested regularly, and verified for restorability—because untested backups offer no real protection. Access control follows the principle of least privilege, with two-factor authentication (2FA) for administrators and quarterly access reviews to maintain security.
A readable privacy policy, a clear Data Subject Request (DSR) process, and a comprehensive vendor list demonstrate a proactive stance on data protection. This checklist delivers fundamental security practices with consistency and care, meeting the expectations of discerning enterprise buyers without requiring a fortress-like infrastructure.
