Security Audit Checklist

Ensure all aspects of the system are thoroughly reviewed for potential vulnerabilities and compliance issues.

Create a detailed list of tasks to be performed during the audit, covering network security, application security, data protection, and physical security.

✅ Authorization checks on all endpoints

Implement strict access controls to ensure that only authorized users can perform specific actions.

Conduct regular access reviews to verify that permissions are still appropriate for each user or role.

✅ Error handling (without information leakage)

Configure error messages to provide minimal information about the system's structure and functionality.

Implement Content-Security-Policy (CSP) headers to help prevent the execution of scripts from sources other than your own.
