+
+---
+
+### 6. File Upload Validation ✅
+

+   - testenv.php (debug file)
+   - Any development/test files
+
+2. **Configure deployment settings:**
+   - Set `display_errors = Off` in php.ini
+   - Set `error_reporting = E_ALL`
+   - Configure error logging to file (not display)
+   - Ensure HTTPS enforced on all pages
+
+3. **Test the checklist:**
+   - Execute all 50+ test cases from PHASE_1_SECURITY_TESTING_CHECKLIST.md
+   - Document any issues found
+   - Create fixes as needed
+   - Sign off on all tests
+
+4. **Database setup:**
+   - Run 001_phase1_security_schema.sql migration
+   - Verify all tables created
+   - Test backup/restore process

+
+5. **Security headers:**
+   - Add X-Frame-Options: DENY
+   - Add X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
