TLS Inspection
What is TLS Inspection?
The decryption and inspection of TLS-encrypted traffic at a security gateway to detect threats hidden within encrypted communications.
Frameworks that govern tls inspection

Why is TLS Inspection important for compliance?
TLS Inspection is a key concept in Information Security. Understanding tls inspection helps organizations meet regulatory requirements, reduce risk, and demonstrate due diligence during audits. Our compliance platform maps 1,016 frameworks with 316K cross-framework control mappings.
Which compliance frameworks address TLS Inspection?
TLS Inspection appears in the requirement text of New Zealand Information Security Manual (NZISM), Article 29 Working Party Opinion 2/2017 on Data Processing at Work (WP249). Across these standards we have identified 3 controls that name it directly, each linked to the control text on the compliance platform.
