Protecting sensitive data is a top priority for CISOs and cybersecurity professionals due to the hefty fines and reputational damage that accompany data breaches. As more applications interact with personally identifiable information (PII), the probability of a breach increases exponentially. Without the right security controls in place, you leave yourself vulnerable to some serious consequences.
Without confidence in your API inventory and third-party connections, you have an unknown level of risk exposure to data breaches. You need to be assured your API security controls can demonstrate compliance. Which means the first step is knowing how many APIs you have.

HIPAA, PCI-DSS, GPDR, CCPA, and PIPEDA, are all examples of regulations that organizations must be compliant with in relation to the sensitive information they collect and store. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in some very serious and costly penalties.
You need to ensure data residency to remain compliant with regulatory requirements regarding local discovery, analysis and identification of APIs. No critical data identified by your security tools should ever leave the perimeter of your cloud or on-prem environment.
