Lesson 5: Security headers and a simple plan

A few settings block common browser attacks, and a one-page plan saves panic later.

Quick-win headers

HSTS (always use HTTPS), X-Content-Type-Options, framing protection and a Referrer-Policy can usually be added in minutes through your host, CDN or a plugin. Content-Security-Policy takes more care; start in report-only mode.

Write a one-page incident plan

Who to call (host, developer, registrar), where logins and backups are, how to take the site offline and how to tell customers. Keep a printed copy.

Re-check quarterly

Settings drift as sites change. Run the free check every few months and after any big change.

Do this today

Fill in the incident plan page and store a printed copy with your business records.
