What good looks like

Data in transit encrypted with TLS 1.2+ externally and for sensitive internal traffic.

Risk if it fails

Interception/tampering in transit.

How Tess tests it

3 tests — each concludes only on cited evidence.

TLS standard (1.2+) defined

Design
Procedure
Inspect the standard.
Expected
Minimum TLS version set.
Sample
1 (design inspection)
Evidence
TLS scan, load-balancer/endpoint config.

External endpoints enforce TLS 1.2+

Operating
Procedure
Scan/inspect endpoints.
Expected
No deprecated protocols/ciphers.
Sample
25 (or full config inspection)
Evidence
TLS scan, load-balancer/endpoint config.

Sensitive internal traffic encrypted

Operating
Procedure
Inspect internal traffic config.
Expected
Encrypted in transit.
Sample
25 (or full config inspection)
Evidence
TLS scan, load-balancer/endpoint config.

Evidence Tess looks for

TLS scan, load-balancer/endpoint config.
