API Security Assessment
APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) are the engine of modern digital business. They power your mobile apps, connect your cloud services, and handle the critical data exchange between your business and your customers. Unlike traditional websites, APIs are designed for direct, programmatic interaction, making them a prime target for sophisticated attackers.
Because APIs expose application logic and direct data access, they are susceptible to unique and severe vulnerabilities that standard security scans often miss. A single flaw in an API can lead to a catastrophic data breach. Our specialised API Security Assessment focuses on finding and fixing these critical vulnerabilities—from broken authorisation flaws to complex injection attacks—ensuring the backbone of your business is secure.
APIs are the nervous system of modern digital business, connecting your data, mobile apps, and partners. However, they are also the #1 target for sophisticated cyber attacks.
At Lean Security, we move beyond basic scanning. We provide an API Security Assessment that functions with the agility of Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS)—giving you direct access to a senior web penetration tester who thinks like a hacker to secure your infrastructure.
This package provides a comprehensive, expert-led penetration test for a single API application (typically up to 20 endpoints). We test modern REST, GraphQL, and legacy SOAP services to identify critical vulnerabilities that standard automated tests miss.
Who is this for? SaaS platforms, FinTechs, and mobile-first businesses requiring evidence of security for ISO 27001, SOC2, or PCI DSS compliance.
Methodology: A hybrid approach combining automated test efficiency with deep-dive manual testing based on the OWASP API Security Top 10.
Deliverable: A bank-ready report, a remediation plan, and a formal Certificate of Penetration Testing.
