API governance, posture & compliance: continuously enforce standards and avoid misconfigurations
Stop risky APIs before they’re exploited. And stay audit-ready.
01 Establish API posture baselines
Salt creates a “known good” posture state for every API.
- Policy-driven governance: define and enforce org-specific posture standards.
- Out-of-the-box frameworks: built-in support for PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, SOX, and more.
02 Detect & respond to drift
Prevent security gaps caused by unintended changes.
- Real-time drift detection: flag API posture changes, even those outside your SDLC.
- Violation alerts: surface APIs that bypass authentication, mismanage tokens, or expose sensitive data.
03 Automate compliance reporting
Make audits painless with auto-generated reports.
- Executive dashboards: show API security KPIs and posture status by service or team.
- Exportable evidence: meet regulator requests without manual effort.
