What Is an API Security Assessment and Why Does Your Business Need It?
APIs drive today's digital ecosystems, but their exposure makes them a top attack vector. An API security assessment identifies vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and access control gaps – including broken authentication, excessive data exposure, and business logic flaws. At TestUnity, our expert‑led testing follows OWASP API Security Top 10, covering authentication, authorisation, injection, rate limiting, and shadow APIs. You receive a structured report with severity ratings, remediation guidance, and compliance mapping (ISO 27001, PCI DSS, GDPR). Secure your APIs without slowing down agile development.
