What does ApiPosture do?

ApiPosture is a security scanner built for the AI-era chaos of rapidly generated APIs. It runs entirely on your machine, scanning your codebase to uncover misconfigurations, shadow endpoints, and security gaps before they reach production. The tool promises audit-ready results in under two minutes, and generates continuous evidence for SOC 2 and ISO 27001 compliance.

The scanner works in four steps: a local-first scan that never sends your data off-device, instant discovery that maps every endpoint (including those created by AI coding tools like Copilot or Cursor), adaptive remediation that gives machine-readable fixes you can apply manually or via automation, and an audit governance layer that keeps real-time logs for compliance reviews. ApiPosture claims sub-second scanning for 150+ endpoints, making it quick enough to slot into CI pipelines.

This is most useful for developers and security leads who need to ship fast without losing track of their API surface. If you're dealing with AI-generated endpoints, preparing for a SOC2 audit, or just want to stop API attacks before they happen, ApiPosture gives you a clear view of your risk – and a path to fixing it.
