Confirm Kona Site Defender allows only NIST SP 800-52 TLS settings:

1. Navigate to the Qualys SSL Scanner: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html
2. Enter into the scanner the Hostname being tested.
3. Under the "Configurations" and then "Protocol" section, verify that communications are restricted to TLS versions 1.2 and above for government-only services or TLS versions 1.0 and above for citizen or business-facing applications.

If Kona Site Defender does not allow only NIST SP 800-52 TLS settings, this is a finding.
