APImetrics include a standard definition for baseline security validation on all monitors. Our Basic Security Conformance profile lays the groundwork for a secure API by confirming the essentials, like HTTPS and TLS version, to uphold data integrity and confidentiality. It's a great place to start your API posture journey.

Basic Security

This Security Profile performs two checks for each monitor:

Is it using HTTPS?

Is it using TLS version 1.2 or higher?

To use this profile, select it in the Manage Standards Profiles section of Conformance Settings.
