Assessment, not a penetration test

Know what your APIs expose — before someone else does.

A self-serve API security assessment for Singapore SMEs. Upload your API documentation and gateway configuration; the portal derives the endpoint count and price. Every finding is human-reviewed and mapped to the PDPC/CSA joint advisory on insecure APIs.

Fixed scope · no per-seat SaaS fees · your data stays on your infrastructure · from S$1,200

Methodology

Seven stages, three human gates

The software does the volume. A named person does the judgement. Nothing is scored, approved or sent to you until it has passed a human gate.

STAGE 01

Intake & scoping

Your specification and gateway configuration are parsed, reconciled and normalised. Undocumented or drifted endpoints are listed as gaps.

Analyst gate 1 · scope

STAGE 02

Configuration assessment

Deterministic rules evaluate declared authentication, authorisation, transport, headers and rate-limit settings against a published rule set.

Automated

STAGE 03

Automated assessment

Specification-driven test generation, stateful probing, configuration scanning and dependency checks run against the agreed boundary.

Automated

STAGE 04

Analytics & correlation

Raw results are deduplicated, correlated and grouped into candidate findings with a proposed category and severity.

AI-assisted

STAGE 05

Human validation

Each candidate finding is reproduced and confirmed, or rejected with a reason. Severity is ratified against the business impact.

STAGE 06

Report & recommendations

A second reviewer signs off the report, the advisory conformance summary and the remediation sequence before anything is issued.

Reviewer gate 3 · sign-off

STAGE 07

Customer review

You walk through the findings and agree what to fix first. You decide the order; we explain the trade-offs.

AI & human review

Fast where it should be. Accountable where it matters.

The model reads, groups and drafts. It never decides. Every externally visible claim carries a named human reviewer.

What AI does

Volume work, always checked by a person.

  • Document interpretation — proposes candidate endpoints from unstructured gateway configuration, each confirmed against the source
  • Test-case suggestion — additional probe cases drawn from your documented business description
  • Triage and grouping — clusters raw results describing the same underlying issue
  • Category mapping — suggests the OWASP category and advisory measure for each finding
  • Report drafting — executive summary and finding descriptions from validated findings only
  • PII redaction — flags personal data in evidence samples for masking

What a human owns

Judgement, severity and every external claim.

  • Finding validation — a finding exists only once a person has reproduced it
  • Severity ratification — the business impact, not just the CVSS base score
  • Scope and rule-set approval — what may be tested, and against which rules
  • Report sign-off — a second reviewer before anything reaches you
  • Re-assessment decisions — whether a prior finding is genuinely closed
  • Remediation advice — what to fix first, and why

What AI never does: originate a finding, set the final severity, approve anything, invent a countable value, or decide scope. Where data is ambiguous or missing, the output routes to a person rather than being inferred.

Pricing

Fixed scope, fixed price

The endpoint count is derived from your artefacts, not self-declared. You see the count, the breakdown and the price before you pay anything.

Annual subscription

Every plan is available annually at 2.5× the one-time price, with unlimited assessments and unlimited re-assessment for the subscription year.

Annual plans include two human reviews: the initial review after your first assessment, plus one additional review you schedule at any point in the subscription period. Recurring assessment and re-assessment results are shared automatically as soon as they complete — the human reviews are yours to spend, not a gate on your results.

Included
  • Unlimited assessments
  • Unlimited re-assessments
  • Two human reviews
  • Automatic result sharing
Chargeable
  • Additional human reviews
  • Scope above your endpoint band
  • Remediation engineering
  • Commercial tooling, if required

Additional human review of an assessment or re-assessment report: S$1,200 per review.  ·  Commercial tooling is not included in the launch configuration; where a higher-assurance engagement needs it, it is scoped separately.

Scope boundary

An assessment, not a penetration test

Digital Futures is not licensed to provide penetration testing. This service is an assessment of how your APIs are configured and documented — and we say so plainly rather than let you infer otherwise.

What API-SAS does

We examine your documentation, gateway configuration and declared controls. We identify gaps, map them to the advisory, and tell you what to fix first.

In scope
  • Parse and reconcile your API artefacts
  • Assess declared authentication and authorisation
  • Assess transport, header and rate-limit configuration
  • Identify shadow and undocumented endpoints
  • Map findings to OWASP and the advisory
  • Recommend remediation and re-assessment
Not in scope
  • Exploitation or proof-of-concept exploits
  • Establishing or maintaining access
  • Bypassing authentication controls
  • Denial-of-service or stress testing
  • Credential brute-forcing
  • Any licensed penetration test

Need a penetration test instead?

Then you need a CSRO-licensed provider. We will tell you that directly and point you to the public register at csro.gov.sg, rather than implying a capability we do not have.

Our assessment is the thing that comes before that conversation: it tells you whether you need one, and where to point it.
