MuleSoft Security Assessment to Strengthen API Security.

  • Are your APIs protected against modern threats?
  • Are security policies consistently enforced across environments?
  • Are you prepared for Zero Trust, API governance, and regulatory scrutiny?

As organizations race to adopt AI agents and expand their digital footprint, APIs are now the #1 target for cyberattacks. A standard platform review isn’t enough, you need a dedicated security audit. 

Incepta’s MuleSoft Security Assessment is a rigorous, deep-dive audit of your entire integration estate. We move beyond basic connectivity checks to evaluate your Zero Trust maturity, API governance, and data protection frameworks. 

We audit your MuleSoft environment against the OWASP API Security Top 10 like Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA), Broken Authentication & Token Misuse, Excessive Data Exposure, Injection & Content-Based Attacks, Improper Asset Management (Zombie / Shadow APIs) and MuleSoft’s Universal API Management standards. Our assessment validates not just policy presence, but real-world exploitability, including authentication gaps, excessive data exposure, injection risks, and broken object-level authorization (BOLA).

MuleSoft Security Assessment

Why a Dedicated MuleSoft Security Assessment?

Combat API Sprawl:

40% of organizations have "Zombie APIs" (forgotten, unsecured endpoints) that act as open doors for attackers.

AI & Data Readiness

With MuleSoft Agentforce and AI automation, your APIs are now exposing data to autonomous agents. Are you sure they are secure?.

Regulatory Pressure

From DORA to GDPR and PCI-DSS, compliance is no longer optional. We validate your alignment with global standards.

How is this different from a MPA?

MuleSoft Platform Assessment:

Focuses on Efficiency. (Is my code optimized? Am I wasting CPU cores? Is my architecture scalable?)

MuleSoft Security Assessment:

Focuses on Risk. (Can an attacker access this data? Are my AI agents exposing PII? Do I have “zombie” APIs leaving doors open?)

What Our MuleSoft Security Assessment Analyze?

Incepta’s MuleSoft Security Assessment takes a risk-first approach to evaluating your integration and API security posture. We go beyond surface-level checks to validate whether your security controls can withstand real-world threats, evolving API usage patterns, and regulatory scrutiny.  Our assessment focuses on the following critical areas:

OWASP API Security Top 10 Risk Validation

• Validate APIs against OWASP API Top 10 risks, including BOLA, broken authentication, and excessive data exposure.

• Identify improper asset management, shadow APIs, and unsecured endpoints.

• Assess real-world exploitability, not just the presence of security policies.

API Governance & Standardization Checks

• Review enforcement of API design standards across RAML and OAS specifications.

• Validate consistent application of security policies across environments and API lifecycles.

• Identify unmanaged or non-compliant APIs that weaken platform-wide security.

SDLC Security Integration (CI/CD, SAST & DAST)

• Review how security checks are embedded into CI/CD pipelines.

• Validate static and dynamic security testing for Mule applications and APIs.

• Assess deployment gates that prevent insecure APIs from reaching production.

Injection & Content-Based Threat Testing

• Test API payloads, headers, and parameters for injection vulnerabilities.

• Detect malicious or malformed requests that bypass standard security controls.

• Validate content inspection and payload handling mechanisms.

Runtime Threat Monitoring & Anomaly Detection

• Evaluate runtime logging, monitoring, and alerting configurations.

• Detect abnormal traffic patterns, request spikes, and policy violations.

• Assess visibility into API behavior across internal and external consumers.

Compliance & Control Mapping

• Map MuleSoft security controls to regulatory requirements such as GDPR, PCI-DSS, and HIPAA.

• Validate audit trails, access controls, and data protection mechanisms.

• Ensure traceability between API risks, security controls, and compliance obligations.

Why This Matters

Gaps in OWASP coverage and governance enforcement are among the leading causes of MuleSoft platform vulnerabilities. Our assessment helps organizations identify and address these risks early—before they lead to security incidents, compliance failures, or operational disruption.

Our Assessment ApproachHow the MuleSoft Security Assessment Works

1. Discovery

We review your current MuleSoft security setup with automated scanning tools to map your full API landscape, identifying every endpoint—managed or unmanaged.

2. Security Analysis

We evaluate configurations against MuleSoft best practices, platform guidelines, and real-world threat scenarios.

3. Risk Identification

Our Security Assessment helps to identify security gaps, misconfigurations, and areas of elevated exposure, ranked by impact and likelihood.

4. Controls and Recommendations

You receive clear, actionable security recommendations based on assessment aligned with MuleSoft’s current and future capabilities.

5. Security Roadmap

We will provide you a prioritized roadmap to strengthen your API security posture without disrupting ongoing integrations.
