API Security and Compliance: What Regulators Need to See

Why should you factor API security into your compliance program?

Every time a customer engages with your organization digitally, there’s an API behind the scenes facilitating a rapid exchange of data. Today’s attackers know that APIs are often vulnerable and easy to breach – to the point that 92% of enterprises have experienced API-related security incidents.

Today’s regulators need to see that your enterprise can:

• Account for every API and its risks.
• Uncover and fix any API vulnerabilities.
• Apply controls tailor-made to prevent API breaches.

In this whitepaper, you’ll learn how to meet API-related requirements in key regulations and frameworks, across six examples:

1. Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) Version 4.0

2. General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

3. Digital Operational Resiliency Act (DORA)

4. Health Insurance and Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)

5. Network and Information Security Directive (NIS2)

6. Guidance for U.S. Financial Services Regulators

You’ll also learn how to build an API security approach that protects your organization’s data, so you can safeguard the trust you’ve built with customers and regulators alike.
