Tasks:

  1. Identify the types of personal and sensitive information that will be stored in the system (e.g., user profiles, booking details, payment information).
  2. Review the data model and database schema to ensure that sensitive information is appropriately identified and classified.
  3. Implement secure storage mechanisms for sensitive information, such as using Django's built-in encryption features or third-party libraries.
  4. Configure the database to enforce encryption of sensitive data at rest.
  5. Implement secure transmission protocols (e.g., HTTPS) to protect data during communication between the user's browser and the server.
  6. Implement access controls and permissions to restrict access to sensitive information to authorized users only.
  7. Conduct a security audit to identify and address potential vulnerabilities in the system's handling of sensitive information.
  8. Implement secure authentication and authorization mechanisms (as described in User Story 1) to ensure that only authorized users can access sensitive data.
  9. Regularly update and patch system dependencies and libraries to address any known security vulnerabilities.
  10. Implement proper logging and monitoring mechanisms to track access to sensitive information and detect any suspicious activity.
  11. Educate users and staff about the importance of protecting sensitive information and implement policies and procedures to ensure compliance.
  12. Regularly review and update security measures based on industry best practices and emerging threats.
