Question 1

How much does an API penetration test cost in Malaysia?

Accepted Answer

API pentests in Malaysia range RM 10,000-20,000 for a single REST or GraphQL API (under 50 endpoints) and RM 35,000-100,000 for enterprise API estates with multiple microservices, OAuth flows, and B2B partner integrations. nCrypt scopes by endpoint count, authentication complexity, and OWASP API Top 10 coverage depth.

Question 2

Do you test REST, GraphQL, and gRPC APIs?

Accepted Answer

Yes — nCrypt tests REST (OpenAPI/Swagger), GraphQL (introspection abuse, batching attacks, query depth DoS), gRPC (Protobuf reflection, channel security), and webhook callbacks. We provide reproducible PoCs against OWASP API Security Top 10 2023 including BOLA, broken authentication, and unrestricted resource consumption.

Question 3

Why is API security a bigger risk than web pentest alone?

Accepted Answer

Modern Malaysian fintechs, e-wallets, and SaaS run 60-80% of business logic through APIs that the UI never touches. Authentication bypass, IDOR, and excessive data exposure in APIs are the leading breach vectors in BNM and PDPC incident reports. A web pentest that ignores APIs misses the highest-impact findings.

Question 4

Is API pentesting required under BNM RMiT for Open Banking?

Accepted Answer

Yes. BNM's Open API Implementation Guide and the RMiT Section 10.49 mandate independent security testing of all externally exposed APIs, including the Open Banking endpoints under the Financial Sector Blueprint 2022-2026. nCrypt is a recognised CREST-certified pentest firm for Malaysian Open API engagements.
