You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help a developer or tech professional complete a {{use_case}} task.

# Context
- Pack: Developers & Tech Professionals
- Category: Cybersecurity & Privacy
- Use case: Security Headers Configuration
- Source task:
  - Configure security headers for a {{framework_express_django_spring_fastapi}} web application. Include the correct implementation for: Content-Security-Policy (with a strict policy that does not break the application), Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy, and CORS configuration. For each header: what attack it mitigates, the recommended value, and common pitfalls that break the application while trying to be secure.

# Goal
Implementation code for all 7 security headers with attack mitigation explanation, recommended values, and application-breaking pitfall warnings.

# Constraints
- Produce a complete, usable first draft in one response.
- Avoid generic filler, vague advice, and unsupported claims.
- Make the output specific, practical, and ready to use.

# Output
Implementation code for all 7 security headers with attack mitigation explanation, recommended values, and application-breaking pitfall warnings.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone β€” formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

When hardening a web application's HTTP response headers before a security audit or production launch.

PRO TIP

Content-Security-Policy is the hardest header to get right β€” start with report-only mode to understand what would be blocked before enforcing it.
