6 · Legal & consent
61Stand up the three legal essentials — a cookie/GDPR consent banner, a Privacy Policy, and Terms of Service — using the check-first pattern. Fill admin-panel fields when present, create missing Privacy/Terms routes when absent, and hand consent-banner code work to Phase 7 as a named blocker.
7 · Theme & system pages
62Apply your brand colours through the admin panel or capture the Phase 8 code task, confirm the error pages (404/500/503) are branded rather than raw Laravel defaults, and prepare a branded maintenance-mode page you can flip on safely with a bypass token.
8 · Engagement & SEO
63Wire the growth surfaces — GA4 analytics via the universal 3-file Safe Vendor Deviation Pattern (the canonical example), plus the lighter check-first tasks for a chat widget, social login, the blog system, and the sitemap. Most CodeCanyon scripts ship zero built-in analytics, so the deviation path is the common case.
Phase 7 · Security & monitoring
64Harden the deployed app (rotate vendor defaults, TLS/HSTS, security headers, rate limits, session/mass-assignment audit), add an audit trail, then make it observable — off-server backups, Sentry, uptime, logs — and close out the legal layer (GDPR, cookie consent) and compliance tracks (SOC 2 / HIPAA).
1 · Harden first
65Treat every shipped secret as compromised — rotate vendor defaults, lock down file permissions, throttle sensitive endpoints, and audit mass assignment + session cookies before anything watches the app.
2 · Security headers & packages
66Enforce HTTPS with HSTS + the standard header set in .htaccess, back it with a SecurityHeaders middleware, force HTTPS in production, encrypt high-risk PII fields, and require strong passwords — for Grade A at securityheaders.com (unsafe-inline caps at A until CSP nonces/hashes).
3 · Activity logging
67Give security-relevant events a durable audit trail — install Spatie Activity Log, capture model changes, log auth and GDPR actions, and auto-prune old records so an incident always has a paper trail.
4 · Off-server backups
68The one MUST of observability — assess what already exists, wire Spatie Laravel Backup to run daily, and ship to an S3-compatible off-site destination (S3 / Spaces / B2 / R2) under one BACKUP_AWS_* env prefix with the 3-2-1 rule.
5 · Observability
69Extend the basic Sentry DSN into cron monitors, performance, and release health; add rotated + structured logs; expose a health endpoint with external uptime monitoring; and define alert escalation backed by a quarterly restore drill.
6 · Legal, privacy & GDPR
70Decide which legal pages you need, generate and host Privacy + Terms via one generator (GetTerms / Termly / Iubenda), wire a cookie-consent banner, build GDPR data export + deletion-with-grace-period, and finalize with ROPA + DPAs.
7 · Compliance tracks (SOC 2 · HIPAA)
71Reference for when SOC 2 and HIPAA enter the picture — applicability tests, cost and timeline, what each involves, and the platforms that automate evidence collection. Most CodeCanyon SaaS launches skip both.
Phase 8 · Configure the app
72Wire the live product end-to-end — branding, mail, payment gateways, integrations, and plan/feature flags — then seed and verify every flow before launch.
