Use BrynQ APIs securely

Use BrynQ APIs securely

Summary:
This article explains how BrynQ secures API integrations with RBAC, detailed logging, error handling, and support for central log collection.

BrynQ API security overview
BrynQ offers APIs that connect to HR and other systems. Security measures make sure that only authorized systems can call these APIs and that all activity is logged and monitored.

Role-Based Access Control for APIs

  • Access to APIs follows Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) so that only users or service accounts with the right roles can perform certain actions.

  • SSO and RBAC together ensure that API calls are linked to known identities and roles, in line with access control requirements.

Event routing and automation

  • BrynQ can send events to external APIs, for example for the employee lifecycle (hire, changes, exit).

  • This allows automation while keeping a clear boundary between BrynQ and your other systems.

Error handling, logging, and SIEM integration

  • For API transactions there are error logs and audit logs, so successful and failed calls can be tracked.

  • The system supports error handling mechanisms for stable handling of failures.

  • Logs can be sent to central solutions such as a SIEM platform or Azure-based logging services.

  • These features support controls for information transfer, electronic messaging, and logging and monitoring.

Network and transport security

  • Communication security measures, such as protection of application transactions and secure use of public networks, also apply to APIs.

  • Together with the firewall, IDS, and reverse proxy, these measures protect API endpoints against unauthorized access.

Procedure:

  1. Before starting a new integration, decide which business events (for example “employee hired” or “contract ended”) BrynQ should send or receive.

  2. Work with Salure or your integration partner to map these events to BrynQ APIs and define which roles or service accounts are needed.

  3. Configure RBAC so that only these roles can call the relevant endpoints.

  4. Decide how you will monitor the integration: choose which logs you need from BrynQ and whether they should go to your central SIEM or Azure logging.

  5. During testing, confirm that both successful and failed API calls appear in error and audit logs.

  6. Review API access and logging regularly as part of your vendor and integration risk management.

Additional Information:

  • Many API security measures use the same infrastructure controls as the web application, such as firewall, IDS, and the secure development process.
