Priority fixes for ardene.com

Ordered by impact and by how common each practice is among peers.

1. Priority 1 · Harden

   HSTS kept for at least a year

   Observed: Strict-Transport-Security was sent with a max-age of 91 days, below the one-year benchmark.

   Why it matters: HSTS tells browsers to use HTTPS for your host on every later visit, which removes the window where a first HTTP request can be intercepted.

   What to do: Send Strict-Transport-Security on HTTPS responses. Start with a short max-age (for example 300 seconds), confirm every subdomain works over HTTPS, then raise it in steps to 31536000. Add includeSubDomains only when all subdomains are HTTPS. HSTS preload is optional and hard to undo; hstspreload.org itself does not recommend it by default.

   On Cloudflare: Enable HSTS under SSL/TLS > Edge Certificates > HTTP Strict Transport Security and raise max-age gradually.

   32% of E-Commerce & Marketplaces peers do this. Limit: Read from the homepage response only; other pages or regions may send different headers.

2. Priority 2 · Harden

   CAA records limit who can issue certificates

   Observed: No CAA record was found for ardene.com, so any public certificate authority may issue for it.

   What to do: Publish CAA records naming every CA you actually use, including the CAs your CDN uses for managed certificates. Add an iodef contact if you want reports.

   On Cloudflare: Cloudflare documents which CAs its managed certificates need; include them in your CAA records.

3. Priority 3 · Harden

   security.txt published

   Observed: No valid /.well-known/security.txt with a Contact field was returned.

   What to do: Publish /.well-known/security.txt with at least Contact and Expires fields, as RFC 9116 requires, and review it before it expires.

   On Cloudflare: Cloudflare Security Center can serve a security.txt file for the zone.

   7.6% of E-Commerce & Marketplaces peers do this.

4. Priority 4 · Harden

   DNSSEC signed

   Observed: No DS record was found for ardene.com at its parent zone, so its DNS answers are not DNSSEC-signed.

   What to do: Enable DNSSEC at your DNS provider, then add the DS record at your registrar. Plan provider moves carefully: a stale DS record can make the domain fail to resolve.

   On Cloudflare: Enable DNSSEC in DNS > Settings and add the DS record at the registrar.

   7.7% of E-Commerce & Marketplaces peers do this.
