Authorized service
API Security Review
APIs often fail where client trust, object ownership, and workflow assumptions meet. We review REST, GraphQL, webhook, and internal API behavior to validate risk that matters to the systems relying on them.
Authorization requirement
This service is delivered only for client-owned or client-administered assets with written authorization, approved scope, and agreed rules of engagement.
Engagement snapshot
What to expect before work begins
- Written authorization and API ownership confirmation
- Collections, documentation, test accounts, or traffic examples where available
- Approved scope for endpoints, roles, and environments
Who this is for
- API-first product teams and partner integrations
- Mobile-backed platforms and internal service ecosystems
- Organizations needing a review before launching new integrations or exposing additional data paths
Required client inputs
- Endpoint inventories or representative collections
- Role definitions, expected authorization behavior, and environment notes
- Access details for approved test accounts or partner flows
In scope
- Authentication, session, and token lifecycle review
- Object-level authorization, filtering, and data exposure checks
- Business workflow misuse that can be validated within agreed safety bounds
Out of scope
- Undisclosed third-party integrations or endpoints outside scope
- Load testing, disruption, or data collection beyond what is necessary to confirm a finding
- Requests to assess assets without documented ownership or authority
Deliverables
- Endpoint and trust-boundary findings summary
- Technical detail for backend, platform, and mobile teams
- Prioritized remediation plan with optional retest coverage
Typical timeline
- Most focused API reviews run 4 to 8 business days after scope approval
- Retests are usually shorter and scheduled around the engineering fix window
Safe testing safeguards
- Requests are rate-aware and aligned to operational constraints
- Unsafe volume or data-heavy validation is excluded unless explicitly approved
- Findings are documented with minimal data exposure and clear reproduction context
What we do not support
We do not perform unauthorized testing, account access, data extraction, disruption, extortion, spyware, stealth monitoring, or activity outside approved scope.
We do not accept requests to access accounts, collect credentials, evade controls, or bypass a target owner's consent.
We do not position public platform areas as consumer tools for live monitoring, exploitation, or surveillance.
FAQ
Can you review undocumented internal APIs?
Yes. Documentation helps, but internal APIs can still be reviewed using guided context, traffic captures, and approved test access.
Do you include webhook and integration flows?
Yes, when they are part of the authorized scope and enough context is available to validate them safely.
