A simple website security checklist
Start with transport security: HTTPS should work, HTTP should redirect safely, and forms should not submit over insecure connections.
Then review browser protections, public files, login routes, API endpoints, and user input. The goal is not perfection in one pass; it is repeatable improvement.
Use Fixnx to automate the first pass and keep the checklist connected to evidence.
