A handful of response headers close common browser-side gaps: X-Content-Type-Options nosniff, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy, Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security; set them centrally and verify with an external scanner.

What it is

The OWASP cheat sheet lists response headers that instruct browsers to behave conservatively: X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff (do not guess content types), Referrer-Policy (limit what URL is leaked in the Referer header), Permissions-Policy (disable features like camera or geolocation), Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy and Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy (isolate the browsing context), Strict-Transport-Security (HTTPS only) and X-Frame-Options or CSP frame-ancestors (clickjacking). Some older headers (X-XSS-Protection) are obsolete and should be omitted.

Why it matters

Each header removes a class of attack or leak at low cost. Their absence is the most common finding of automated scanners and reflects on the operator's diligence.

How to apply

Set the headers once in middleware or the reverse proxy, for every response including errors.
Choose Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin (or stricter) as a default.
Write Permissions-Policy with an explicit empty allowlist for features the site does not use.
Enable HSTS only after every subdomain serves HTTPS; start with a short max-age.
Verify with an external scan and with curl -I after each deployment; add a test that asserts the headers.

Pitfalls

X-Frame-Options: DENY blocks legitimate embedding you may need; use frame-ancestors with the allowed origins instead. Headers set only on HTML but not on API or error responses. Cross-origin isolation headers can break third-party widgets.
