I'm working through the results of a security audit on a site, and the audit recommends setting the <code>Cache-Control: no-store</code>, instead of <code>Cache-Control: no-cache</code> which is sent now. This is supposed to stop pages from being accessible when using the back button after logging out.

DNN has a two cacheability settings (for authenticated and unauthenticated views), but <code>no-store</code> isn't an option. Is there a clean way to implement this? My two thoughts so far are to change the header via the <code>web.config</code> (not sure if that will work) or to add code into the theme to add <code>no-store</code>. Is there an option I'm missing?
