Security Controls

1. Application Security

Input Validation & Sanitization

// Contact form validation
import DOMPurify from 'isomorphic-dompurify';

export function sanitizeInput(input: string): string {
  return DOMPurify.sanitize(input, {
    ALLOWED_TAGS: [],
    ALLOWED_ATTR: [],
  });
}

export function validateEmail(email: string): boolean {
  const emailRegex = /^[^\s@]+@[^\s@]+\.[^\s@]+$/;
  return emailRegex.test(email) && email.length <= 254;
}

Content Security Policy

// next.config.js
const ContentSecurityPolicy = `
  default-src 'self';
  script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' https://www.google-analytics.com https://www.googletagmanager.com https://cdn.emailjs.com;
  style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' https://fonts.googleapis.com;
  font-src 'self' https://fonts.gstatic.com;
  img-src 'self' data: https: blob:;
  connect-src 'self' https://www.google-analytics.com https://api.emailjs.com;
  frame-src 'none';
  object-src 'none';
  base-uri 'self';
`;

Security Headers

// Implemented in next.config.js
const securityHeaders = [
  {
    key: 'X-DNS-Prefetch-Control',
    value: 'on',
  },
  {
    key: 'X-XSS-Protection',
    value: '1; mode=block',
  },
  {
    key: 'X-Frame-Options',
    value: 'SAMEORIGIN',
  },
  {
    key: 'X-Content-Type-Options',
    value: 'nosniff',
  },
  {
    key: 'Referrer-Policy',
    value: 'origin-when-cross-origin',
  },
  {
    key: 'Strict-Transport-Security',
    value: 'max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains',
  },
];

2. Infrastructure Security

GitHub Repository Security

Hosting Security

Netlify Backup:

DNS Security

3. CI/CD Security

Pipeline Security

# Secure pipeline configuration
permissions:
  contents: read
  security-events: write
  actions: read

concurrency:

Secret Management

Build Security

4. Third-Party Security

Service Validation

API Security

// Rate limiting for form submissions
const RATE_LIMIT = {
  submissions: 5,
  window: 3600000, // 1 hour in milliseconds
};

export function rateLimitCheck(ip: string): boolean {
  const submissions = getSubmissions(ip, Date.now() - RATE_LIMIT.window);
  return submissions.length < RATE_LIMIT.submissions;
}

Security Scanning

Automated Security Testing

Dependency Scanning

Daily Scans: npm audit --audit-level moderate

Static Application Security Testing (SAST)

CodeQL Integration:

# .github/workflows/security-scan.yml
- uses: github/codeql-action/init@v3
  with:
    languages: javascript
    queries: security-extended,security-and-quality

Custom Security Rules:

Container Security Scanning

Trivy Integration:

# Multi-layer security scanning
trivy fs --security-checks vuln,config,secret .
trivy image borderlessbits:latest

Secret Scanning

Vulnerability Management

Severity Levels:

Remediation Process:

  1. Detection: Automated scanning identifies issue
  2. Assessment: Security team evaluates risk and impact
  3. Planning: Develop remediation strategy
  4. Implementation: Apply security patches/updates
  5. Validation: Verify fix effectiveness
  6. Documentation: Record lessons learned

Manual Security Testing

Penetration Testing

Scope: Web application security assessment Frequency: Quarterly for production, monthly for staging Focus Areas:

Security Headers Validation

# Automated security header testing
curl -I https://borderlessbits.com | grep -E "(X-Frame-Options|X-XSS-Protection|Content-Security-Policy|Strict-Transport-Security)"

Incident Response

Incident Classification

Severity Levels

Response Procedures

Security Incident Response Plan

Phase 1: Detection & Analysis (0-30 minutes)

  1. Incident Detection: Automated alerts or manual discovery
  2. Initial Assessment: Determine scope and severity
  3. Team Notification: Alert security response team
  4. Evidence Preservation: Secure logs and artifacts

Phase 2: Containment (30 minutes - 2 hours)

  1. Immediate Containment: Isolate affected systems
  2. Damage Assessment: Evaluate extent of compromise
  3. Short-term Containment: Implement temporary fixes
  4. Communication: Notify stakeholders as appropriate

Phase 3: Eradication & Recovery (2-24 hours)

  1. Root Cause Analysis: Identify vulnerability source
  2. System Hardening: Apply security patches
  3. Malware Removal: Clean compromised systems
  4. Service Restoration: Restore normal operations

Phase 4: Post-Incident (24-72 hours)

  1. Lessons Learned: Document incident response
  2. Process Improvement: Update security procedures
  3. Training: Enhance team capabilities
  4. Monitoring Enhancement: Improve detection capabilities
