Application and API Assessment
Secure the critical entry points to your organization’s data and systems
Strengthen the gateways to your digital business
Your applications and APIs serve as critical gateways connecting your organization to customers, partners and data. At BPM, we help integrate security into the development process to identify and address vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them, protecting both your operations and your reputation.
Comprehensive application security
Modern applications face sophisticated threats that evolve constantly. Our application security assessments thoroughly evaluate your web, mobile and desktop applications to:
Identify vulnerabilities: We uncover common OWASP defined security flaws and craft novel exploits to discover complex vulnerabilities unique to your codebase that could compromise your systems.
Validate security controls: We review your development standards and test the effectiveness of implemented security controls to help ensure they function as intended when confronted with real-world attack scenarios.
Strengthen code security: Our assessment techniques examine both running applications through manual dynamic testing (DAST) and reviews the underlying code to identify security issues at their source (SAST).

API security assessment
APIs have become the backbone of digital business, making them prime targets for attackers. Our API security assessments focus on understanding your design and implementation expectations, then we evaluate how the APIs handle:
Authentication and authorization: We evaluate how your APIs verify incoming requests and enforce access controls to prevent unauthorized data access or system manipulation.
Data protection: We assess where data resides and how it is transmitted throughout the API ecosystem to ensure sensitive data is appropriately handled.
Input validation and error handling: We identify weaknesses in how your APIs process and respond to unexpected data that is malformed or contains malicious inputs.
Rate limiting and resource protection: We test defenses against brute force attacks, data-extractions, API abuse, and denial-of-service attempts.
The BPM approach
Our application and API security assessments deliver:
- Business-focused results: We translate technical findings into clear business impacts, helping stakeholders understand the real-world risks.
- Actionable recommendations: We provide specific, prioritized guidance for remediation that aligns with your development processes.
- Continuous improvement: We help integrate security throughout your development lifecycle, reducing vulnerabilities in future releases.
Partner with BPM to transform your application and API security from potential vulnerability to building confidence for your customers. Our services help you bake security in from the first line of code and maintain secure applications that customers and partners can trust.
