What Makes an Amazon SP-API Pentest Report Actually Usable?
An Amazon SP-API penetration test is far more complex than a standard web application assessment. It demands a structured, repeatable methodology that holds up against Amazon's security review process and satisfies stakeholders who test evidence, not intentions.
For each engagement, RedSecLabs follows a proven four-phase process to ensure clarity, repeatability, and a report that gets findings accepted, not rejected by Amazon's compliance team:
- Scoping the SP-API Engagement & OAuth 2.0 Boundaries
- Building the Test Environment & Evidence Framework
- Running Active Penetration Tests Across API Surfaces
- Structuring & Delivering the Final Compliance Report
