Security is not a one-time task, it is a habit. This checklist covers the highest-impact protections in priority order.

The non-negotiables

Enable a web application firewall, enforce strong passwords with two-factor authentication, and keep everything updated.

Defense in depth

Layer malware scanning, login rate-limiting, and audit logs so a single failure never becomes a breach.
