API Development built for Cybersecurity companies
What is API Development?
We design APIs that third-party developers and internal teams actually enjoy integrating with. For Cybersecurity companies, this means navigating SOC 2, ISO 27001 while shipping fast.
Who needs API Development for Cybersecurity?
- Detecting threats in real time at scale
- False positive rates undermining analyst trust
- Integrating across fragmented security tool stacks
- Undocumented APIs slowing partner integrations
- No versioning strategy causing breaking changes

Timeline, investment & compliance
Typical timeline
6-12 weeks
Typical investment
$25,000 - $90,000
API Development engagements in this combination typically need to account for:
- SOC 2
- ISO 27001
- NIST frameworks
- GDPR
Our Approach
Cybersecurity software fails quietly if it isn't built for detecting threats in real time at scale from the start. We scope for SOC 2 and ISO 27001 requirements up front, and keep the review cadence tight enough to catch drift before it ships.

Most API Development engagements take 6-12 weeks, depending on scope and how clear the requirements are upfront. We'll give you a firm timeline estimate after a short discovery call, not a generic range.
API Development projects with us typically range from $15,000 - $90,000, scaled to the complexity of your requirements. We provide a detailed, itemized estimate before any work begins so there are no surprises mid-project.
For api development, we typically work with Node.js, Python, FastAPI, GraphQL, chosen based on your specific scalability and integration requirements. We're not tied to a single stack and will recommend the right tools for your situation rather than our default.
A typical api development engagement includes restful or graphql api design, along with the other deliverables outlined in our proposal, such as documentation and a post-launch support window. The exact scope is tailored to your project during discovery.
Most clients come to us for api development because of undocumented apis slowing partner integrations, among other related challenges. We start every engagement by mapping your specific pain points before writing a single line of code.
We've delivered multiple cybersecurity projects addressing challenges like detecting threats in real time at scale. We helped a cybersecurity startup reduce false positive alert rates by 37% with an improved detection pipeline.
For cybersecurity clients, we pay close attention to SOC 2, ISO 27001, building these requirements into the architecture from day one rather than retrofitting them later. We'll confirm which specific regulations apply to your business during discovery.
The most common challenges we solve for cybersecurity clients include detecting threats in real time at scale and false positive rates undermining analyst trust. We tailor our discovery process to surface the specific version of these problems your business faces.
