Security Review for your api / backend service
Expert security review tailored to api / backend services. We identify the specific issues api / backend services face and fix them for production. From $19.
API / Backend Service challenges we solve
Common api / backend service issues that our security review service addresses.
Authentication and API keys
Every endpoint needs to verify the caller's identity. AI tools create endpoints without auth, or with auth that's easy to bypass. You need token-based auth, API key management, and proper session handling.
Input validation
Every parameter, request body, and header value must be validated before use. AI-generated APIs trust client data, which leads to injection attacks, data corruption, and crashes from unexpected input.
Rate limiting and abuse prevention
Without rate limits, anyone can hammer your API — brute-forcing passwords, scraping data, or running up your infrastructure costs. Rate limiting must be per-user and per-endpoint.
Error handling and status codes
APIs should return appropriate HTTP status codes (400 for bad input, 401 for unauthorized, 404 for not found, 500 for server errors) with helpful error messages. AI tools often return 200 for everything or expose internal error details.
What we check
Key areas we review for api / backend service security review projects.
Authentication on every endpoint — no unprotected routes
Input validation — every parameter validated with schema
Rate limiting — per-user, per-endpoint limits configured
Error responses — correct status codes, no internal detail leaks
SQL injection and injection attacks — parameterized queries
