Test Results Summary for ncl.ac.uk

• Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Readiness Test
  The server on the tested port is currently not prepared for post-quantum key exchange. The server’s certificate chain relies entirely on classical signature algorithms without post-quantum support. Show details.
• SSL/TLS Certificate Analysis
  1 SSL/TLS end-entity certificate detected: the first certificate is a trusted RSA 2048 bits certificate with issuer Sectigo Public Server Authentication CA OV R36 valid until December 22, 2026. 2 certificate chains detected. Show details.
• PCI DSS Compliance Test
  All 4 supported cipher suites are compliant with PCI DSS. The server supports only PCI DSS compliant protocols: TLSv1.2. All supported elliptic curves are compliant with PCI DSS: P-384 and P-256. No additional PCI DSS compliance issues were identified. Show details.
• NIST and HIPAA Compliance Test
  All 4 supported cipher suites are compliant with HIPAA requirements (Ref. NIST SP 800-52). The server supports only HIPAA compliant protocols: TLSv1.2. All supported elliptic curves are compliant with HIPAA: P-384 and P-256. There are 3 more issues which make the server non-compliant with HIPAA: server does not support OCSP stapling, server does not support TLS 1.3, server does not support extended master sECret. Show details.
• Industry Best Practices Test
  2 issues related to industry best practices were identified: server does not support TLS 1.3, server supports client-initiated secure renegotiation. Show details.
