Secureroot's API security assessment services help SaaS, fintech, and B2B platform builders find security weaknesses in REST and GraphQL APIs before they're exploited. OWASP API Top 10 aligned. ISO 27001 certified. Trusted by MoJ Kuwait and India's leading enterprises.
API security assessment is a structured security exercise where certified ethical hackers test your APIs – REST endpoints, GraphQL queries, microservices, and webhook integrations – to find vulnerabilities before real attackers do. Modern attackers don’t target your UI; they target your APIs directly. That’s where the sensitive data lives, where the business logic runs, and where most authorization decisions are made.
API testing requires methodology distinct from traditional web app testing. APIs lack a visible UI, so vulnerabilities are easier to miss with automated scanners. APIs often skip the security checks the UI enforces. Authorization is granular and complex – one user shouldn’t be able to access another user’s resources by changing IDs. Rate limiting is critical to prevent scraping and brute-force attacks. Our methodology specifically targets the OWASP API Security Top 10 – the standard framework for API vulnerabilities.
If your business runs on APIs – and most modern businesses do – they’re your biggest attack surface. Public APIs serving mobile apps, B2B partner APIs, microservice-to-microservice calls, and webhook integrations all expose business logic and data. Indian regulators (RBI Account Aggregator Framework, IRDAI Insurance APIs Framework, DPDP Act) require demonstrable API security testing. Enterprise B2B customers demand API audit evidence before integrating. And API breaches now cause more data exposure than UI-based attacks. API security assessment is the foundation of modern application security.
We follow OWASP API Security Top 10, OWASP ASVS, and NIST SP 800-95 frameworks. Every API engagement runs through these six steps.
We catalog every API endpoint, parameter, authentication method, and consumer (web, mobile, partner) – building a complete API attack surface map.
We review your OpenAPI/Swagger specs, GraphQL schemas, and Postman collections – identifying authorization gaps, sensitive data exposure, and design flaws before testing.
Industry tools (Burp Suite, Postman, Apidog, OWASP ZAP) scan for known API vulnerabilities, broken auth, rate limit issues, and OWASP API Top 10 patterns.
Senior consultants exploit BOLA (Broken Object Level Authorization), BFLA (Broken Function Level Authorization), mass assignment, and business logic flaws that scanners miss.
Every finding documented with API request/response examples, CVSS scoring, business impact, and remediation guidance. Reports your auditors and integrating customers will accept.
Once your team patches the findings, we verify the fixes at no extra cost. Engagement only closes when every critical and high finding is actually fixed.
Click any area to expand. Every engagement covers all 8 OWASP API Top 10 categories – scope depth varies based on your API surface and complexity.
