What we check

Checks HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and Content-Security-Policy in the response headers.

Why it matters

HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and CSP are the security baseline every audit checks.

Common causes

  • The host ships default headers, nobody ever configured a security policy.
  • A CSP existed but was removed entirely after frontend errors instead of being repaired.
  • Proxy or CDN overwrite the headers set by the backend on delivery.

How to fix it

Configure HSTS + CSP with frame-ancestors, then target securityheaders.com grade B.
