Common Implementation Challenges

Organizations often face challenges when implementing security headers:

Third-party Dependencies: Many applications rely on external resources that may conflict with strict security policies. Careful policy crafting and testing are essential.

Legacy Application Compatibility: Older applications might use inline scripts or outdated practices that conflict with modern security headers.

Performance Considerations: Some headers, particularly complex CSP policies, can impact page load times if not optimized properly.

Maintenance Overhead: Security headers require ongoing maintenance as applications evolve and new features are added.
