Security Testing — Application

API Security
Testing

Identify vulnerabilities in your APIs before attackers do — covering OWASP API Security Top 10, authentication bypass, authorization flaws, business logic abuse, and data exposure risks.

APIs are the new perimeter. As organizations shift to API-first architectures, the attack surface has moved from web forms to API endpoints. We conduct deep, methodology-driven API security assessments that go beyond automated scanning — testing business logic, authorization models, rate limiting, and data exposure across REST, GraphQL, gRPC, and SOAP interfaces.

Why API Security Testing?

APIs power modern applications — mobile backends, microservices, partner integrations, and IoT platforms. But APIs also expose business logic, sensitive data, and backend systems in ways that traditional web applications don't. Broken object-level authorization, excessive data exposure, and mass assignment vulnerabilities are API-specific risks that web application scanners rarely detect.

Our API security testing combines automated tooling with manual expert analysis. We map your API attack surface, test authentication and authorization mechanisms across every endpoint, probe for business logic flaws, validate input handling, and assess rate limiting and abuse prevention — producing findings that your development team can act on immediately.

What We Test

OWASP API Security Top 10 coverage
Authentication & token management (OAuth, JWT, API keys)
Object-level & function-level authorization
Business logic & workflow abuse
Input validation & injection attacks
Rate limiting & resource exhaustion
Data exposure & excessive response filtering
API versioning & deprecation security

Our Services

OWASP API Top 10 Assessment

Systematic testing against all OWASP API Security Top 10 risks — BOLA, broken authentication, excessive data exposure, lack of resources/rate limiting, BFLA, mass assignment, security misconfiguration, injection, improper asset management, and server-side request forgery.

Authentication & Authorization Testing

Deep testing of your API authentication mechanisms (OAuth 2.0, JWT, API keys, mTLS) and authorization models — including BOLA, BFLA, privilege escalation, token manipulation, and session management vulnerabilities.

Business Logic Testing

Manual testing of API business logic — workflow bypass, parameter manipulation, race conditions, and abuse scenarios that automated tools cannot detect. We think like attackers, not scanners.

GraphQL Security Assessment

Specialized testing for GraphQL APIs — introspection exposure, query depth/complexity attacks, authorization bypass on nested resolvers, batch query abuse, and information disclosure through error messages.

API Fuzzing & Input Validation

Automated and manual fuzzing of API endpoints — testing input validation, error handling, type confusion, boundary conditions, and injection vulnerabilities across all parameter types.

API Security Architecture Review

Evaluate your API gateway configuration, authentication architecture, rate limiting strategy, logging/monitoring, and API lifecycle management — identifying design-level weaknesses beyond individual endpoint vulnerabilities.

Why It Matters

Find API-Specific Vulnerabilities

Discover BOLA, BFLA, excessive data exposure, and other API-specific risks that web application scanners and traditional penetration tests typically miss.

Protect Business Logic

Identify abuse scenarios where attackers manipulate API workflows to bypass controls, escalate privileges, or extract data — the highest-impact API vulnerabilities.

Compliance Support

API security testing satisfies the application security testing requirements of PCI DSS Requirement 6, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and other frameworks.

Shift-Left Integration

We provide findings in developer-friendly formats with reproduction steps and remediation guidance — enabling your team to fix issues in the current sprint.

Reduce Data Exposure

Identify endpoints that return excessive data, expose internal identifiers, or leak sensitive information through error messages — before attackers find them.

Secure Partner Integrations

Validate the security of APIs exposed to partners, third parties, and mobile applications — ensuring external access points don't become attack vectors.

Why Choose Gravity Innovision?

API-First Expertise

Our testers specialize in API security — REST, GraphQL, gRPC, WebSocket, and SOAP. We understand modern API architectures, not just web applications with JSON responses.

Manual + Automated

We combine automated scanning and fuzzing with deep manual testing of business logic, authorization, and workflow abuse — finding the vulnerabilities that tools alone cannot.

Developer-Friendly Output

Every finding includes API request/response evidence, reproduction steps, and specific remediation guidance — enabling your development team to fix issues without back-and-forth clarification.
