1. Rotate Google API Keys regularly (every 90 days)
2. Enable Database Backups on Supabase (automated daily)
3. Implement 2FA for admin accounts (use Google Authenticator)

4. Add Content Security Policy Reports to monitor violations
5. Set up Security Monitoring with alerts for suspicious activity
6. Regular Security Audits - Review logs monthly
7. Update Dependencies - Run composer update monthly

8. Add Rate Limiting to sitemap and API endpoints
9. Implement IP Whitelisting for admin panel (optional)

• HTTPS enabled

• 2FA for admins (recommended)
• Automated database backups
• Regular security updates

Your website is well-protected for a production environment. The main improvements would be:

1. Two-factor authentication for admins (would bring rating to A+)
2. Automated database backups
3. Regular security audits

If you detect suspicious activity:

1. Check audit logs: /admin/audit-logs
2. Review failed login attempts: Check failed_login_attempts table
3. View blocked IPs: SELECT * FROM failed_login_attempts WHERE blocked_until IS NOT NULL;
4. Manually unblock IP: DELETE FROM failed_login_attempts WHERE ip_address = 'x.x.x.x';
5. Change admin passwords immediately
6. Rotate Google OAuth credentials
7. Check database for unauthorized changes

Run these periodically to maintain security:

• Cleanup old failed logins: php artisan auth:cleanup-failed-logins (removes records > 7 days)
• Clear application cache: php artisan cache:clear
• Update dependencies: composer update (monthly)
