Yes!

Context

This MR (and it's sister MR) are the product of discussion in AppSec Office Hours and a chat with @ankelly about making an MVC that everyone can (hopefully) agree on.

Requested feedback and discussed this MR in AppSec Office Hours. There is ongoing discussion on other ways to increase awareness of this and/or use secure defaults, but seemed to be a consensus that this MVC is a step in the right direction.

@axil @mikelewis @jcolyer Ready for review! Any feedback/suggestions appreciated.
