API / Developer Platform

APIs are invisible to users — but not to regulators.

APIs that process, transmit, or store personal data are fully in scope of GDPR and NIS2. Machine-to-machine communication doesn't reduce your obligations — it increases them.

Realiteitscheck

Do your API consumers know exactly what data you process on their behalf, and do you have DPAs in place?

GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)

mandatory Art. 28, Art. 32, Art. 33

Uw verplichtingen

  • API-level access control and authentication
  • Data Processing Agreements for API consumers
  • Rate limiting to prevent data scraping
  • Logging of data access for audit trail
  • Data minimisation in API responses

SiteGuardian bewaakt dit

  • TLS/HTTPS encryption monitoring
  • Automated cookie consent detection
  • Security headers analysis
  • Email transport encryption checks
  • Breach notification SLA tracking (72h)
