This article outlines the security standards and practices implemented to protect our Partner API. The API is designed according to industry-standard security principles to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of partner data at all times.
Transport Security
All API communication is encrypted using HTTPS.
- TLS 1.2 or higher is strictly enforced.
- Unencrypted HTTP connections are not permitted.
All data transmitted between partners and the API is encrypted in transit. This protects against eavesdropping, interception, and man-in-the-middle attacks.
Authentication
Every API request must be authenticated using a valid API Key.
- Each partner is assigned a unique API Key.
- The API Key must be included in every request.
- Requests without a valid API Key are automatically rejected.
This ensures that only authorized partners can access the API.
Authorization and Access Control
Access to resources is strictly restricted based on partner identity.
- Partners can access only their own resources.
- Cross-partner data access is not permitted.
- Access permissions are enforced on every request.
This guarantees strict data isolation between partners and prevents unauthorized data exposure.
API Key Management
API Keys are securely managed and can be controlled by partners.
- API Keys can be regenerated at any time.
- Once regenerated, previous keys become immediately invalid.
- Partners are responsible for securely storing and protecting their API Keys.
Immediate key regeneration allows fast response in case of suspected key compromise.
Input Validation
All incoming requests undergo server-side validation.
- Request parameters are validated for format, structure, and data type.
- Invalid or malformed requests are rejected.
This protects the API from common injection attacks and misuse.
Data Protection
The API follows a strict data minimization approach.
- Only necessary data is returned in API responses.
- Sensitive information is exposed only when required.
- Internal system details are never exposed.
This reduces the risk of unnecessary data disclosure.
Monitoring and Logging
API activity is continuously monitored.
- Requests are logged for auditing and troubleshooting purposes.
- Suspicious or abnormal behavior can be investigated.
Monitoring supports security oversight and incident response.
Infrastructure Security
The API is hosted on secure cloud infrastructure and maintained according to industry best practices.
- Network access is restricted and controlled.
- Security updates and patches are applied regularly.
- Cloud security standards are continuously followed.
Infrastructure security is actively maintained to protect against evolving threats.
Core Security Principles
The API security framework is built on the following principles:
- Mandatory authentication for all requests
- Strict access control and data isolation
- Encrypted communication
- Secure API Key lifecycle management
- Continuous monitoring and infrastructure protection
These measures collectively ensure a secure and reliable integration environment for all API partners.
