Enable DNSSEC on your domain
Without DNSSEC, DNS responses for hsbc.com can be spoofed, potentially redirecting users to malicious sites. This requires coordination with your domain registrar to publish DS records.
Compliance Impact
NIST 800-53SC-20
Secure name/address resolution service
Remediation Steps
1
Check if your DNS provider supports DNSSEC (Cloudflare, Route53, etc.)
2
Enable DNSSEC signing in your DNS provider dashboard
3
Add the DS record to your registrar for .com TLD
4

3
Upgrade to TLS 1.3
hsbc.com negotiated TLSv1.2. TLS 1.2 is still compliant under all major security frameworks and is not a vulnerability. TLS 1.3 offers faster handshakes and removes legacy cipher negotiation. This is a best-practice improvement, not a compliance gap.
Remediation Steps
1
Update web server config to prefer TLS 1.3 (nginx: ssl_protocols TLSv1.2 TLSv1.3)
2
Verify: openssl s_client -connect hsbc.com:443 -tls1_3
