degrades

Endpoint device configuration can enforce cache-clearing or no-cache policies for sensitive web content.

prevents

Application security requirements can explicitly require no-cache headers or cache-control directives for sensitive pages.

prevents

Secure coding standards can mandate proper cache-control headers and form-field handling to prevent sensitive data retention.

prevents

Configuration management can mandate secure browser cache settings across the estate.

none

Web filtering can block risky sites but does not directly govern browser caching of sensitive data.
