Security Policy

Security Features Implemented

1. Content Security Policy (CSP)

  • Restricts resource loading to trusted sources
  • Prevents XSS attacks
  • Controls inline scripts and styles

2. HTTP Security Headers

  • X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff - Prevents MIME type sniffing
  • X-Frame-Options: DENY - Prevents clickjacking
  • X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block - Enables XSS filter
  • Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin - Controls referrer information

3. HTTPS Enforcement

  • All resources loaded over HTTPS
  • HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security) ready
  • Mixed content prevention

4. Input Validation

  • Form input sanitization
  • Email validation with regex
  • XSS prevention in user inputs

5. Dependency Security

  • Minimal dependencies (TypeScript only)
  • No vulnerable third-party libraries
  • Regular updates via npm audit

6. Data Protection

  • No sensitive data stored client-side
  • No cookies or local storage usage
  • Privacy-focused analytics (when implemented)

7. Performance = Security

  • Fast load times prevent timeouts and vulnerabilities
  • Optimized code reduces attack surface
  • Efficient resource loading

Best Practices Applied

✅ No inline JavaScript (uses external TypeScript compiled file) ✅ Minimal third-party dependencies ✅ Form validation before submission ✅ Secure external link handling (rel="noopener noreferrer") ✅ Accessible and semantic HTML ✅ Type-safe TypeScript code ✅ Modern browser security features ✅ Regular security audits

Performance Optimizations for Security

  • Lazy Loading: Reduces initial payload and attack surface
  • Code Splitting: Isolates functionality
  • Compression: Reduces bandwidth and improves load times
  • Caching: Proper cache headers for static assets

Reporting a Vulnerability
