1. Data Protection 🛡️
- Encrypt Sensitive Data: Use AES-256 or similar standards for data at rest and in transit.
- Regular Backups: Store backups in secure, offsite locations and test restoration processes.
- Data Minimization: Collect only necessary data and limit access to authorized personnel.
2. Access Control 🔐
- Implement Role-Based Access (RBAC): Assign permissions based on user roles to reduce risks.
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Enforce MFA for all user accounts, especially administrative ones.
- Least Privilege Principle: Grant users minimal access required for their tasks.
3. Secure Development Practices 🛠️
- Code Reviews: Conduct regular peer reviews to identify vulnerabilities.
- Input Validation: Sanitize all user inputs to prevent injection attacks.
- Dependency Management: Keep third-party libraries updated to avoid known exploits.
4. Monitoring & Response ⚠️
- Real-Time Monitoring: Use tools like SIEM to detect suspicious activities.
- Incident Response Plan: Have a documented plan for addressing security breaches.
- Regular Audits: Perform security audits and penetration testing quarterly.
