Priority fixes for www.gub.uy

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

1. Priority 1 · Harden

   TLS 1.3 negotiated

   Observed: The TLS connection negotiated TLSv1.2.

   Why it matters: TLS 1.3 removes legacy cipher suites and completes the handshake in fewer round trips, so it is both safer and faster for new connections.

   What to do: Enable TLS 1.3 on your CDN or server. Keep TLS 1.2 available for older clients unless you have checked your audience.

   77% of Government Services peers do this. Limit: Certificate and protocol were observed from one vantage point; CDNs can present different certificates by region.

2. Priority 2 · Accelerate

   HTTP/2 negotiated

   Observed: The TLS handshake selected HTTP/1.1 instead of HTTP/2.

   What to do: Enable HTTP/2 on your CDN or server. Most CDNs do this by default.

   55% of Government Services peers do this.

3. Priority 3 · Harden

   DMARC policy enforces quarantine or reject

   Observed: No DMARC record was found at _dmarc.www.gub.uy.

   What to do: Publish DMARC with p=none and a reporting address first, fix any legitimate senders that fail SPF or DKIM alignment, then move to quarantine and finally reject.

   52% of Government Services peers do this.
