About

The SSL/TLS Compliance Checker verifies that your domain's TLS configuration meets specific regulatory and industry standards including PCI DSS, NIST, HIPAA, SOC 2, and ISO 27001. It checks protocol versions, cipher suites, key sizes, certificate requirements, and security headers against the requirements of each standard.

Each compliance standard has specific TLS requirements — for example, PCI DSS requires TLS 1.2+ and prohibits weak ciphers, while NIST has specific key size and algorithm recommendations. The checker provides a pass/fail status for each requirement with detailed explanations of any failures and specific remediation steps to achieve compliance.

How to Use

1Enter your domain name and select the compliance standard to check against
2Choose from PCI DSS, NIST, HIPAA, SOC 2, or ISO 27001
3Click "Check Compliance" to run the analysis
4Review the detailed compliance report showing pass/fail status for each requirement

Use Cases

•PCI DSS Assessment: Verify TLS meets Requirement 4 (encrypt transmission of cardholder data) before annual PCI assessments
•HIPAA Compliance: Ensure TLS configuration meets HIPAA Security Rule requirements for protecting electronic protected health information
•SOC 2 Audit Preparation: Document TLS compliance for SOC 2 Type II audits covering security and availability trust service criteria
•NIST Framework Alignment: Verify TLS meets NIST SP 800-52 Rev 2 recommendations for government and enterprise environments
•ISO 27001 Certification: Demonstrate TLS compliance with Annex A controls for cryptography and network security

Tips & Best Practices

•Run compliance checks quarterly and after any TLS configuration changes
•Address critical failures immediately — they represent actual compliance violations
•Document compliance reports for audit evidence and retain for at least 12 months
•Use the API to automate compliance checking as part of your CI/CD pipeline

Technical Details

●Standards Covered: PCI DSS v4.0, NIST SP 800-52 Rev 2, HIPAA Security Rule, SOC 2, ISO 27001

●Requirements Checked: Protocol versions, cipher suites, key sizes, certificate validity, HSTS, OCSP stapling

●Scoring: Percentage-based compliance score with individual requirement pass/fail

●Remediation: Specific configuration changes needed for each failed requirement

Frequently Asked Questions

Start with PCI DSS if you process payment cards — it has the strictest and most specific TLS requirements. For healthcare, check HIPAA. For general enterprise security, use NIST SP 800-52. Most organizations should aim to pass all applicable standards simultaneously, as they share many common requirements.

Partial compliance means some requirements pass while others fail. For example, you might support TLS 1.2 (pass) but still allow weak ciphers (fail). The report details each requirement individually so you can address specific failures while maintaining passing requirements.

Run checks quarterly as part of routine security reviews, after any TLS configuration changes, before annual audits, and whenever new compliance requirements are published. The API supports automated scheduled checks that can integrate with your compliance monitoring dashboard.
