Snipe-IT stores asset ownership, checkout history, and procurement details. Hardening should focus on Laravel app secrets, RBAC, and secure backup/export controls.
¶ 1) Harden authentication and RBAC
- Restrict super-admin accounts to dedicated operators.
- Use SSO/LDAP integration with strict group mapping where available.
- Disable or tightly control user self-registration.
- Rotate API tokens and disable stale integrations.
¶ 2) Secure Laravel deployment and secrets
- Keep
.env secrets outside backup exposure and Git repositories.
- Set strong
APP_KEY and rotate credentials under incident response.
- Enforce HTTPS and secure session/cookie settings.
- Restrict direct access to storage and upload directories.
¶ 3) Patch and protect data lifecycle
- Track Snipe-IT security advisories and update promptly.
- Keep PHP, Composer dependencies, and DB patches current.
- Encrypt backup archives containing asset and user data.
- Review export/report permissions and audit download usage.
