The Security Headers mind map template provides a technical overview of 10 essential HTTP response headers used to harden web applications against common vulnerabilities. This Security Headers cheat sheet covers 32 distinct nodes of information, ranging from modern standards like Content-Security-Policy(CSP) to deprecated legacy headers. It serves as a vital reference for developers and security engineers to understand how specific configurations, such as Strict-Transport-Security(HSTS), enforce HTTPS connections or how X-Content-Type-Options prevents MIME-type sniffing. By mapping out the OWASP-recommended headers, this Security Headers template helps teams mitigate risks like Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), clickjacking, and data injection attacks through structured, visual documentation.

Cómo usar esta plantilla
Paso 1
Download and open the file
Download the .xmind file and open it in Xmind desktop or the web browser to view the full security header hierarchy.
Paso 2
Customize your security policy
Modify the children nodes under Content-Security-Policy(CSP) to reflect the specific resource whitelist required for your application's domain.
Paso 3
Export as a reference guide
Export the completed mind map as a PDF or PNG to share with your development team as a standard security implementation guide.
Preguntas frecuentes
This template includes a comprehensive list of HTTP security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and Referrer-Policy. It details the function of each header, its current support status (including deprecated items like HPKP), and specific attack vectors they prevent, such as XSS and clickjacking.
You can use the template as a checklist during a web application security review. Compare your server's current response headers against the nodes like 'X-XSS-Protection' or 'Expect-CT' to identify missing protections or outdated configurations that need updating.
Yes, the template is fully editable. You can add your own implementation notes to the 'Content-Security-Policy(CSP)' branch or update the 'More Info' node with your company's internal security documentation and specific policy requirements.
Including deprecated headers like 'Public Key Pinning Extension for HTTP(HPKP)' provides historical context and prevents developers from implementing insecure or unsupported legacy standards, ensuring the focus remains on modern alternatives like HSTS.
