LowFile-scopePHP Plug & play

Filter sensitive parameters from logs

Use $dontFlash in app/Http/Middleware/TrimStrings.php or logging processors to redact 'password', 'token', 'ssn', and emails.

Why this matters

Controls leakage of PII/secrets in logs for SOC 2 confidentiality.

Side-by-side examples engineers can pattern-match during review.

Avoid

Log::info('login', ['email'=>$email,'password'=>$pwd]);

Prefer

protected $dontFlash = ['password','password_confirmation','token','email'];

Good

Log::info('role.change', ['user_id'=>$id])

Bad

Log::info('login', ['email'=>$email])

From the same buckets as this rule.

Critical
Encrypt sensitive data at rest with KMS and rotate keys
Use envelope encryption (AES-256-GCM) with cloud KMS-managed CMKs for databases, object storage, and backups. Rotate CMKs at least annually and rotate DEKs per object/file.

Critical
Enforce TLS 1.2+ and HSTS on all external endpoints
Public services must require TLSv1.2 or higher and set HSTS (max-age ≥ 15552000, includeSubDomains). Reject plaintext HTTP and weak ciphers; cookies must be Secure and HttpOnly with SameSite set.

Critical
Use a secrets manager and 90-day rotation policy
All credentials (API keys, DB passwords, tokens) must be stored in a secrets manager with automatic rotation ≤ 90 days; forbid hardcoded or .env-committed secrets via CI checks.
