Deploying a Secure, RFC 9116-Compliant security.txt via Cloudflare Workers

As developers and technical founders, we build APIs, write documentation, and manage digital architectures. But under modern cybersecurity compliance frameworks (like SOC2, ISO 27001, or NIS2), we face a strict corporate mandate: hosting an active vulnerability disclosure policy at /.well-known/security.txt.

However, many static hosting platforms and CMS setups restrict access to the root directory, preventing us from deploying this file cleanly.

To solve this, I designed and open-sourced cloudflare-security-txt—an enterprise-grade Cloudflare Worker template that intercepts incoming requests at the global edge network and serves your security policy in under 10ms.

Why this is a more robust, enterprise-grade template:

Dynamic Auto-Expiration (RFC 9116 Compliant): It automatically calculates and updates the mandatory Expires: date to exactly 1 year in the future, making the deployment completely maintenance-free.
Dual Route Serving (Security.txt + PGP Signature): Supports serving both your raw security policy (/.well-known/security.txt) and its cryptographic GPG signature (/.well-known/security.txt.sig) natively for security audits.

Global CORS Support: Enforces wildcard CORS headers, allowing automated global compliance scanners and vulnerability crawlers to parse your security files cleanly.\

I have fully validated, tested, and pushed this project to our official GitHub organization. We also just submitted an official Pull Request to Cloudflare's core templates directory!

I'd love to hear from other technical founders here:

Do you currently host a cryptographically signed security.txt on your production domains? How are you handling automated compliance audits and zero-maintenance file expiry in your server environments? Let's discuss!
