Why now

Ship fast and stay secure

Owning this tradeoff is literally your job.

The market demands speed

Features weekly, deploys daily. Slowing down for a manual security review before every release is not an option — competitors will not wait.

…but customers demand safety

Your customers hand you their data. Every BOLA or IDOR is their data in someone else's hands. One leak and the trust (and the contract) is gone.

Problems we kill

Sound familiar?

If any of these hurt, this product exists for you.

The real fear: a breach that lands on your watch — and no evidence you were on top of it

The engineering report says everything is handled. Then a customer or a journalist finds the endpoint nobody re-tested. The board asks one question: “why did we not know?” Reputation, renewals and your next hiring round all hinge on how that question is answered. “We thought it was fine” is not an answer.

With it in place the answer is a dated record: every API, every environment, tested continuously — including the control that went missing after that deploy.

Blind spot between deploys

The yearly pentest says “clean” in March. In April a deploy silently drops rate limiting on POST /payments. Nobody knows until customers do.

Audit panic, twice a year

Two weeks of screenshots, spreadsheet archaeology and “do we have evidence for CC7?” Slack threads — every single audit cycle.

Alerts nobody reads

200-line digests and severity-inflated noise train the team to mute the channel. The one critical alert drowns with them.

Velocity pressure, breach accountability

The board wants speed, regulators want evidence, customers trust you with their data. One IDOR leaking customer records ends contracts — continuous automation covers both sides.

Engineering oversight

Trust your team. Verify the work.

You cannot review every pull request, and you should not have to. Security updates in standups are optimistic by nature; evidence is not. This gives you an independent, third-party view of what each API and environment actually contains — the same lens your auditors, your board and your customers will use.

Objective, not self-reported

Posture comes from real tests run against the live endpoints — not from a status spreadsheet someone fills in the week before the review.

See what a release changed

When a control disappears, you see that it was verified before and gone after — tied to a deploy, not to a vague “it should be fine”.

Coach with evidence, not blame

Hand the team the finding, the payload and the fix instead of starting an argument about whether the problem exists. Fixes land faster.

Coverage you can report upward

Per-API and per-environment status you can put in front of the board: how much of the surface is tested, and what changed since last month.

Ask your team for a status update, and you get an opinion. Ask this for a status update, and you get a record.

Concrete proof

Your own product, watched end to end

Not a generic checklist — the exact endpoints your revenue and customer data flow through, tested continuously and mapped to the frameworks you report on.

Why for ctoss choose us

Built for your problems

trending-down

Drift detection between deploys

A deploy removes a rate limit or exposes an endpoint? You know in minutes — with the exact diff, not a vague alert.

clipboard

Auditor-ready evidence

Compliance mapping groups findings per requirement, so procurement questionnaires answer themselves. Plus a public Trust Page.

shield-check

Safe by construction

Sandboxed scanner, polite pacing, AES-256 credentials, DNS-verified ownership. Standard scans are read-only — production is never at risk.

SaaS or dedicated — covered both ways

Dedicated deployment at a customer site gets isolated scans, isolated findings and its own certificate — hand it straight to their auditors as onboarding evidence.

Features

Everything your API security needs

One product, full coverage — nothing sold separately.

Continuous API Penetration Testing

Your API is penetration-tested 24/7 against the OWASP API Security Top 10 — BOLA/IDOR, broken auth, mass assignment, injection, rate limits and more.

Live Trust Certificate

A transparent, always-current certificate your customers can open. See exactly what was tested, when, and what was fixed.

Catches Drift Between Deploys

Most security problems appear after deploy: config changes, shadow endpoints, disabled rate limits. We watch your API continuously.

CI/CD Webhooks

Trigger a private test on every deploy. Developers get results without touching the public certificate status.

CI Verdict vs Baseline

Gate releases on NEW findings only — the verdict endpoint diffs each scan against baseline so known, accepted findings never block a deploy.

AI-Assisted Triage

Fewer false positives. AI classifies and prioritizes findings, backed by a fully deterministic core you can reproduce.

Zero Storage of Secrets

Credentials are encrypted (AES-256) and never logged. Only you and the scanner see them.

How it works

Live in under 10 minutes

Your team is live the same day, without a onboarding project.

01

Connect your API

Upload an OpenAPI, RAML, GraphQL or SOAP/WSDL spec — or point us at a URL. Add credentials — API key, Bearer, Basic or OAuth2.

02

We penetration-test it continuously

The deterministic engine runs OWASP API Top 10 penetration tests on a schedule you control — or on demand — with polite pacing so your API is never overwhelmed.

03

Show your certificate

Embed the live Trust Page on your site. Your customers see real, current evidence — not an empty badge.

Coverage

19 test types, zero hand-waving

The same suite your auditors will ask about — automated.

2 findings

BOLA / IDOR

Tries to access other users’ resources by swapping identifiers in paths and queries.

ok

Broken authentication

Sends requests without or with a garbage token to find unprotected endpoints.

ok

Mass assignment

Adds extra fields to payloads to see if the server binds more than it should.

1 finding

Injection (SQL / NoSQL)

Probes SQL, NoSQL and JSON injection with error-signature detection.

ok

Rate limiting

Fires a burst of requests to check for missing 429 throttling.

ok

CORS misconfiguration

Reflects a hostile Origin and checks whether credentials are allowed.

2 findings

Security headers

Checks for HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options and other hardening headers.

ok

Sensitive parameters

Looks for secrets passed in query strings instead of headers or body.

JWT weaknesses

alg=none, forged payloads, weak HMAC secrets, missing exp, kid injection.

HTTP method tampering

Undeclared methods (DELETE, PATCH…) that bypass per-method access control.

Privilege escalation via mass assignment

Undeclared role fields echoed back exactly by the server.

Server tech fingerprint + EOL

Stack detection with end-of-life version flagging.

Information disclosure

.git, .env, debug endpoints, actuator, metrics, public specs, stack traces.

Differential rate limits + XFF bypass

Unlimited login next to a limited API; limits dodged via X-Forwarded-For.

Old API versions

v1 endpoints that skip auth present in v2, removed endpoints still live.

GraphQL

Production introspection and missing query-complexity limits.

OAuth redirect_uri check

Open redirects on the authorization endpoint (code/token theft).

CORS chain + CSRF preflight

null Origin, lookalike-domain allowlist bypass, preflight on write endpoints.

SSRF canary

Your server asked to fetch our URL — callback proves server-side requests.

Safe to run against your API

AES-256 encrypted credentials

Your API keys are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM and never logged or shown in plaintext.

Ownership verified by DNS

We only scan APIs after you prove ownership with a DNS TXT record — recorded for audit.

Isolated sandbox scanner

Scans run in a sandbox with hard time and request limits so we never overload your API.

SOC 2-aligned processes

Policies, audits and evidence reporting built for enterprise procurement.

GDPR-ready data handling

Minimal data collection, EU-hosted option, and data deletion on request.

Least-privilege access

Our team can never read your secrets; the scanner only holds them in memory during a run.

FAQ

Questions, answered honestly

What do auditors actually get from us?+

Per-requirement finding exports (PCI DSS, SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, NIS2), a year of timestamped scan history per environment, and an SOC 2 evidence report on Enterprise. No screenshots-and-praying the week before the audit.

Who can see our findings?+

Only your org members. Public Trust Pages and badges show status and counts — never finding details, payloads or URLs. Credentials are AES-256 encrypted and never logged.

What if a scan degrades staging?+

Standard scans cannot modify data and respect budgets by default. If staging is fragile, run scans on a schedule at night, or point us at a dedicated test environment. Hacker mode never touches production — it refuses to run there.

Is my API safe to test?+

Yes. The scanner runs in a sandbox with strict pacing, timeouts and request caps. You choose the schedule and can pause anytime.

Is this a real penetration test?+

Yes — an automated API penetration test. We run OWASP API Top 10 attack simulations (BOLA/IDOR, broken auth, injection, mass assignment, rate limiting, CORS, security headers, shadow APIs) plus deep-scan tests (JWT weaknesses, HTTP method tampering, privilege escalation via mass assignment, server tech fingerprint with EOL versions) on demand or on a schedule, like an automated pentester. It complements a human-led manual pentest rather than replacing it.

Can I run a live penetration test right from the site?+

Yes. Add your API or paste an OpenAPI spec and hit “Run live pentest” — the sandbox starts testing immediately and you watch it live in the terminal. The same test is also available from our CLI (liveapisec scan) for your CI/CD.

What is “Hacker mode (AI)”?+

An autonomous AI agent that runs a real, human-style penetration test on your API (dev/staging only, never production): it plans an attack, probes endpoints step by step — trying IDOR, broken auth, injections, secrets and mass assignment — observes the responses, self-corrects and writes a final evaluation with fixes. It can even write and run its own probe code in a sandbox. It runs manually on demand, requires a verified domain for public targets (localhost / private IPs are exempt), and your URL and credentials are never sent to the AI. We strongly discourage running it against production — it can break or destroy a system.

Do you store my credentials?+

Credentials are encrypted with AES-256-GCM at rest and are only decrypted in memory during a scan. They are never logged and never shown in plaintext.

What does “passed” on the certificate actually mean?+

It means the API passed the automated OWASP API Top 10 tests in the tested scope on a specific date. We never claim absolute security — the certificate wording is deliberately precise.

How do you verify I own the API?+

You prove ownership with a DNS TXT record (or a manual confirm in lower tiers). Every authorization is recorded with timestamp and scope.

How are endpoints counted?+

An endpoint is a unique HTTP method + path on a site (e.g. GET /users). Endpoints are summed across all your sites; environments share the same spec, so they do not multiply the count. Your dashboard shows live usage (X / Y endpoints) so you always know where you stand.

Do all plans include CI/CD and the full OWASP suite?+

Every plan — including Free — includes the OWASP API Top 10 baseline suite, CI/CD webhooks, the CLI/Developer API and the public Trust Page. The Deep-scan suite (JWT, method tampering, privilege escalation, tech fingerprint and 7 more test types) starts at Starter, compliance mapping at Pro, Hacker mode (AI) at Starter, and enterprise extras (SOC 2 report, SSO, priority queue, SLA) are on Enterprise.

How is this different from a manual pentest?+

A manual pentest is a snapshot: $15k+, 2–4 weeks of waiting, outdated on your next deploy. We run the same OWASP attack classes continuously — every deploy, every night — for less than a tenth of the price. Use us to stay clean year-round and bring humans in once a year for the exotic stuff.

Will this break my production?+

No. Standard scans are read-only probes with polite pacing, hard time/request budgets and an isolated sandbox — they cannot modify your data. Only Hacker mode (AI) is destructive, which is exactly why it is blocked from production entirely and runs on dev/staging only.

What happens when you find something critical at 3 AM?+

You get an alert in seconds — email, Slack or webhook, your choice — with the finding, the evidence and the fix. Critical and high findings can also block the deploy via our CI verdict endpoint, so the vulnerability never reaches production in the first place.

Can I upgrade or downgrade anytime?+

Yes. Upgrade is instant, downgrades apply at the next billing cycle, and you keep every existing scan and certificate. Paid plans include a 14-day money-back guarantee.
