API Compliance

Connect via the Treblle SDK

One SDK integration starts capturing 100% of API traffic immediately. No agents, no per-endpoint configuration, no scheduled scan setup required.

Every request is evaluated

Full request and response payloads, including headers, bodies, and query parameters, are checked against GDPR, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and CCPA rules continuously as traffic flows.

Violations are logged and reported

Each compliance event is tied to the specific request that triggered it. Your team gets instant alerts, a timeline view of your posture over time, and exportable reports for auditors.

What is API Compliance Monitoring?

Catching regulatory violations in API traffic as they happen

API compliance monitoring is the continuous evaluation of API traffic against regulatory requirements such as GDPR, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and CCPA. APIs are where regulated data flows most frequently, making them a primary surface for compliance failures: personal data exposed in a response, cardholder information passing through an unintended endpoint, or PHI visible in a query parameter. Treblle monitors 100% of API traffic against these frameworks in real time, logging every violation to a per-request audit trail that gives your compliance team traceable evidence without manual log correlation.

Continuous Monitoring

Runtime compliance checks across GDPR, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and CCPA

Periodic audits find what was wrong last quarter. Treblle finds what is wrong right now. Every API request is evaluated against GDPR personal data rules, PCI-DSS cardholder data requirements, HIPAA protected health information standards, and CCPA consumer data handling rules simultaneously, as traffic flows, with no scheduled scan windows.

Runtime Compliance Checks

Evaluates every API request and response against compliance rules as traffic flows. No batch scans or scheduled audits, continuous evaluation from the moment of integration.

GDPR Compliance

Flags API requests that expose personal data in violation of GDPR requirements, covering both request payloads and response bodies.

PCI-DSS Compliance

Detects cardholder data, authentication tokens, and other PCI-relevant fields in API traffic, surfacing violations before they become audit findings.

Full Context

Payload inspection that catches violations at every layer

Most compliance violations happen inside payloads, not at the network level. HIPAA PHI can appear in a query parameter. CCPA consumer data surfaces in a response body field that was never supposed to be there. Treblle inspects full request and response data at every layer, including headers, bodies, and query strings, so violations are caught wherever they appear.

Full Payload Inspection

Analyzes both request and response data, not just metadata or headers. Gives compliance checks the full context needed to catch real violations.

HIPAA Compliance

Identifies protected health information flowing through your APIs in real time, catching PHI exposure in headers, payloads, and query parameters.

CCPA Compliance

Monitors API traffic for consumer data handling that conflicts with CCPA requirements, flagging violations at the request level with full context.

Alerts and Timeline

Instant alerts when violations occur, with a clear view of your posture over time

Treblle sends a notification the moment a compliance violation is detected, integrating with your existing alerting stack so nothing gets routed to a dashboard nobody watches. The Compliance Timeline gives you a calendar view of when violations occurred and when you returned to a compliant state, which is exactly what auditors ask for.

Automatic Alerts

Sends notifications the moment a compliance violation is detected. Integrates with your existing alerting stack so nothing gets buried in a secondary dashboard.

Compliance Timeline

A calendar view showing your compliance posture over time. See exactly when violations occurred and when you returned to a compliant state, per regulation.

Audit Readiness

Per-request audit trail, exportable in any format auditors need

Every compliance evaluation in Treblle is tied to the specific API request that triggered it, with full traceability: which rule was violated, which endpoint, which consumer, and exactly when. Export as CSV, PDF, or pull the full dataset via API. Your compliance team stops spending days building audit packages from scattered logs.

Per-Request Audit Trail

Every compliance evaluation is tied to a specific API request with full traceability. Gives auditors exactly what they ask for without manual log correlation.

Compliance Data Export

Export compliance reports as CSV or PDF, or pull the full dataset programmatically via API. Gives auditors and stakeholders data in whatever format they need.

API Compliance: Common Questions

API compliance monitoring is the continuous evaluation of API traffic against regulatory requirements such as GDPR, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and CCPA. It analyzes request and response payloads in real time to detect violations, including personal data exposure, cardholder data leakage, and protected health information in transit. Unlike periodic audits, continuous compliance monitoring catches violations as they happen.

Treblle evaluates every API request and response against GDPR requirements in real time. It flags API traffic that exposes personal data in violation of GDPR rules, analyzing both request payloads and response bodies rather than just headers or metadata. Every flagged event is tied to a specific request with full traceability for audit purposes.

Yes. Treblle detects cardholder data, authentication tokens, and other PCI-DSS-relevant fields in API traffic as requests flow, surfacing violations before they become audit findings. Compliance events are logged per request with full context and can be exported as CSV or PDF for auditors.

Treblle identifies protected health information (PHI) flowing through your APIs in real time, catching PHI exposure in headers, request payloads, response bodies, and query parameters. Violations trigger automatic alerts and are logged to a per-request audit trail for HIPAA reporting.

A per-request audit trail ties every compliance evaluation to the specific API request that triggered it, including the full request context, the rule that was violated, the timestamp, and the consumer identity. This gives auditors traceable, request-level evidence without requiring manual log correlation across separate systems.

Yes. Treblle exports compliance data as CSV or PDF, and the full compliance dataset is accessible programmatically via API. This gives auditors and compliance teams data in whatever format their workflows require.
