The project

About the project

An external security assessment flagged several issues on a busy WordPress site, and website emails were at risk of landing in spam. The fixes had to be careful, because live forms, HubSpot tracking and third-party scripts all depend on the same setup.

A Content Security Policy is now enforced at the edge, tuned after a 162-page sweep that also caught lazy-loaded scripts the crawl missed. HSTS, nosniff, Referrer-Policy and Permissions-Policy headers were added, REST API user exposure was closed, and wp-cron was locked down with an edge rule. A small mu-plugin DKIM-signs WordPress mail, and DMARC moved to quarantine with reports showing a 100% pass rate.
