Why now

Ship fast and stay secure

Your buyers live this dilemma — and judge you on it.

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.

Deals dying in “security review”

The champion loves you, then procurement sends a 200-row spreadsheet and silence. Enterprise pipeline stalls for weeks on trust you cannot show.

A $15k pentest you cannot afford yet

Manual test costs more than your MRR and takes a month. By the time the PDF arrives, you have shipped 40 deploys that invalidated it.

“Secure” badges nobody believes

Stock-photo shields and self-awarded “100% secure” graphics. Buyers have seen them all — they convert exactly no one.

Prospects fear for their data

Every enterprise buyer imagines their customers’ data leaking through your API — because that is what ends up in the news. A year-old PDF will not calm them; a live certificate will, while you keep shipping weekly.

The trust gap

Why they buy from the brand they know

It is usually not your product. It is the missing proof.

40%+

of online buyers walk away when they do not trust the site with their data

This is the part nobody tells you: people rarely leave because your product is worse. They leave because they cannot verify you — so they pay more for the brand they have already heard of. The decision happens on your signup and checkout pages, and without evidence to look at, the safer logo wins by default.

The established brand

Trust by reputation. Buyers assume it is safe because they have heard the name — not because anyone checked.

You

Trust by evidence. A live, dated certificate they can verify in one click — the one thing a logo cannot fake.

They cannot outspend a brand. But a brand cannot show a live, dated, verifiable certificate either.

Concrete proof

Your security, live inside your product

Same snippet, anywhere your customers land — store, app dashboard or docs. It renders the live status of your API, so the proof is part of the purchase experience instead of a PDF attachment.

Why for founderss choose us

Built for your problems

wallet

Shorter sales cycles

Send prospects to your public Trust Page instead of filling 200-row security spreadsheets. Evidence closes deals.

tag

Enterprise posture for $49

Starter buys the full Deep-scan suite and Hacker-mode AI — coverage that used to require a security team.

refresh

Trust that updates itself

Badges, banners and counters embed on your site and refresh with every scan. Your marketing never shows a stale audit again.

SaaS or dedicated — covered both ways

Selling an on-prem or single-tenant version? Every enterprise buyer gets their own live certificate — close dedicated deals with the same proof that closes SaaS ones.

Features

Everything your API security needs

Enterprise-grade coverage without hiring a security team.

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

Faster than filling one row of their spreadsheet.

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

340 reasons your prospect stops worrying.

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

How fast can I show this to a prospect?+

Minutes. Run the free scan, get the certificate, paste one snippet wherever your customers land — your store, app dashboard or docs. The next “please complete our security review” email gets answered with a link.

What if the scan finds something embarrassing?+

Good — better you than the prospect’s security team. Findings are private by default; nothing goes public until you fix it and choose to publish. The certificate only shows what you approve.

Does this really replace a pentest for procurement?+

For most SaaS deals under enterprise-strict regulated industries: yes. 340 tests across the OWASP API Top 10 with dated evidence beats a year-old PDF. Heavily regulated buyers (banking, health) may still want an annual manual test — we make that meeting short.

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.
