Introduction: Our team performed security assessment for a London-based API company, Duffel of their application programming interfaces (APIs) to identify vulnerabilities and provide recommendations for improving their security posture.

Challenges: The main challenge in this project was to ensure the security of the APIs which were exposed to third-party travel booking platforms, travel agencies and tour operators. These APIs were critical to the smooth functioning of their business operations, but also posed significant security risks if not properly secured. Another challenge was to ensure compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), a European Union data protection law which has strict requirements for data privacy and security.

Solution: Our team of experienced security professionals conducted a thorough assessment of the webapplication, using a combination of manual testing and automated tools to identify vulnerabilities. We also conducted a review of the client’s network infrastructure to ensure that it was properly secured against external threats. After identifying the vulnerabilities, we provided a detailed report which included prioritized recommendations for remediation.

Results: Our security assessment identified several critical vulnerabilities in the APIs and provided actionable recommendations for remediation. The client was able to implement the recommended security measures and significantly improve their security posture, reducing the risk of data breaches and protecting their reputation. Additionally, the client was able to demonstrate compliance with GDPR requirements, which helped them maintain trust with their customers and partners.

Conclusion: In conclusion, our security assessment helped the Duffel to identify and remediate critical vulnerabilities, improve their security posture, and maintain compliance with GDPR. By partnering with us, they were able to mitigate risks, protect their data, and maintain their reputation in the industry.
