Website Security Checklist for Small Business Owners

If you run a small business website, you might think hackers only target big companies. The truth? 43% of cyber attacks target small businesses, and most go out of business within 6 months of a breach.

Here's a practical security checklist that takes less than 30 minutes to run:

🔒 1. SSL/TLS Certificate

[ ] Valid and not expired
[ ] Uses a strong cipher (TLS 1.2 or higher)
[ ] Properly configured (no weak ciphers)

🛡️ 2. Security Headers

[ ] Strict-Transport-Security — forces HTTPS
[ ] Content-Security-Policy — blocks XSS attacks
[ ] X-Frame-Options — prevents clickjacking
[ ] X-Content-Type-Options — stops MIME sniffing

🔍 3. CORS Configuration

[ ] No wildcard Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * with credentials
[ ] Origins are whitelisted, not reflected
[ ] Vary: Origin header is set for caching

🌐 4. Open Ports

[ ] Only necessary ports are open (80, 443)
[ ] No exposed admin panels (phpMyAdmin, etc.)

📋 5. Information Disclosure

[ ] Server version headers are hidden
[ ] Error pages don't leak sensitive info
[ ] No directory listing enabled

The Fast Way to Check Everything

Instead of checking each item manually, I built a tool that checks all of this (and more) in under 30 seconds:
