How it works

Four steps from first scan to compliance readiness.

1. Scan

Paste any API URL. Get a security score, letter grade, and category breakdown in 60 seconds. No signup required.

2. Understand

See WHERE your API is weak across 4 security pillars: Transport, Access Control, Abuse Prevention, and Info Disclosure. Each finding includes framework-specific fix guides.

3. Monitor

Add your APIs and your vendors' APIs to continuous monitoring. Get alerts when scores drop below your threshold. Integrate with CI/CD to block insecure deployments.

4. Comply

Map every finding to OWASP API Top 10, PCI DSS 4.0, SOC 2, GDPR, and HIPAA. Generate compliance readiness reports. Track your posture over time.

What GovernAPI checks

9 check categories that go beyond header scanning.

🔒
Transport Security
HSTS, HTTPS enforcement, cookie security
🔑
Access Control
CORS misconfigs, JWT vulnerabilities, auth detection
🛡️
Abuse Prevention
Rate limiting verification
📡
Information Disclosure
Server version leaks, error leakage, credential exposure
📄
OpenAPI/Swagger Exposure
Finds accidentally-public API specs
🔍
GraphQL Introspection
Detects exposed GraphQL schemas
🤖
LLM/AI Security
Prompt injection, PII leakage, jailbreak testing
⚠️
Error Leakage
Stack traces, framework versions in error responses
🔐
JWT Security
Tests for the none algorithm vulnerability

Why not just use a free header scanner?

Free scanners check HTTP headers on web pages. GovernAPI does that AND:

  • + Detects API-specific issues (OpenAPI exposure, GraphQL introspection, JWT vulnerabilities)
  • + Tests for prompt injection on LLM endpoints
  • + Maps every finding to 5 compliance frameworks (OWASP, PCI DSS, SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA)
  • + Monitors continuously with threshold-based alerts
  • + Integrates with CI/CD pipelines
  • + Generates compliance readiness reports

Free scanners give you a letter grade. GovernAPI gives you a security posture.
