Laravel Security Hardening Checklist for Production
Headers, CSRF, mass assignment, secrets rotation and dependency auditing before go-live.
Mehran Shafique · May 8, 2026 · 1 min read · 82 words
Security incidents destroy agency reputation faster than bugs. This checklist runs before every RelaxGen production launch.
Application layer
APP_DEBUG=false, strong APP_KEY, CSRF on all state-changing routes, policies on every model action, validated file uploads, rate limits on auth endpoints.
Infrastructure
TLS 1.2+, HSTS, restricted SSH, database not public, secrets in env not git. Automated dependency scanning with Composer audit in CI.
Monitoring
Log authentication failures, webhook verification failures and 403 spikes. Alert on disk full and queue backlog — availability is security.
