Security: Missing Secure Referrer-Policy Header

Definition

This indicator identifies the absence of the Secure Referrer-Policy header on your website. The Referrer-Policy header allows you to control the information passed in the Referer header when a user navigates from one page to another, enhancing privacy and protecting sensitive data.

Implementation

To implement the findings of the Security: Missing Secure Referrer-Policy Header indicator, you need to configure your web server to send the Secure Referrer-Policy header with the desired value. Enable this header to control the Referer header’s behavior and protect user privacy by limiting the information shared with external websites. Consult the documentation or support resources provided by your web server software for instructions on enabling and configuring this security header.

Benefits

  • Protection of Sensitive Information: Implementing the Referrer-Policy header helps prevent the leakage of sensitive information, such as URLs or session IDs, by controlling what information is included in the Referer header when navigating from one page to another.
  • Enhanced User Privacy: By setting an appropriate Referrer-Policy, you prioritize user privacy and limit the exposure of potentially sensitive data to third-party websites or attackers.
  • Compliance with Privacy Regulations: Implementing proper Referrer-Policy headers ensures adherence to privacy regulations and data protection best practices, potentially reducing legal and compliance risks.
