Eliminate sensitive data exposure
Sensitive data exposure ranks 3rd in volume
But 1'st in trust fallout
APIs are the primary channels for sensitive data exchange yet less than 15% of enterprises have confidence in their API inventory. With thousands of APIs deployed across hybrid and multi-cloud environments, most organizations don’t even know which APIs process sensitive data let alone how securely.
API documentation should help map sensitive data but it’s rarely complete or up-to-date. Meanwhile, payloads vary by request, microservices fragment flows, and third-party integrations further obscure visibility. Manually tracing sensitive data across 1000+ APIs is not just impractical it’s impossible given the complexities of enterprise networks.
Weak or missing SSL headers, token leaks, and unencrypted traffic remain common across production APIs. These misconfigurations open the door to man-in-the-middle attacks, replay attempts, and passive data sniffing—all of which expose regulated data without triggering any alerts.
Authentication flaws account for 29% of API vulnerabilities. But even strong AuthN isn’t sufficient.
95% of attack attempts originate from authenticated sessions, and 27% of breaches are due to Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA). Yet most teams lack the visibility to test or enforce access controls at scale leaving sensitive data exposed.
30% of organizations have seen their API footprint grow by 50–100% in the last year alone. Each new endpoint is another potential handler of sensitive data—often undocumented, unmonitored, and untested. As sprawl grows, so do security risks, breaches and compliance failures.
Protecting data at rest isn’t enough.
Levo secures it in transit
Continuously discover and protect sensitive data everywhere it flows
Levo inspects live traffic across environments to automatically identify and classify PII, PHI, and sensitive records including flows to third-party APIs. It uses trace-linking to minimize false positives and surface exposure paths in real time. Instead of sifting through payloads, teams view a centralized map of data lineage across all APIs.

Identify and eliminate weaklinks before they trigger compliance fines
Levo maps sensitive data both at the endpoint level and the application level to surface exactly which APIs require the strongest access controls. Automatically flagging endpoints that handle sensitive data with absent or weak Authentication, Authorization, and encryption.

Sensitivity isn’t static. Levo lets you shape it in real time
Levo enables compliance teams to define new sensitive data types directly from the UI instantly applied across applications and APIs. As data protection rules evolve, new classifications can be rolled out instantly and applied across the API ecosystem.

Frequently Asked Questions

What to classify as Sensitive Data?
Sensitive data includes personal, health, financial, or confidential information such as PII, PHI, SSNs, payment details,credentials and customer records any data that, if exposed, could lead to legal, financial, or reputational damage.
Why is Sensitive Data important for any organization?
Because it’s the most targeted, most regulated, and most valuable asset you handle. Exposure risks trust, compliance, and business continuity especially with APIs being the #1 channel for data movement today.
What regulations does Levo compliant for?
Levo is built with compliance in mind and aligns with standards like GDPR, HIPAA, NIST, and OWASP API Top 10, helping you meet regulatory requirements by continuously mapping, securing, and auditing sensitive data flows.
How is Levo better than other solutions available in the industry?
Levo doesn’t just classify data, it maps how it flows through APIs, who accesses it, and where it's at risk. With runtime detection, customizable classifications, and real-time alerts on misconfigurations, it turns blind spots into secure pathways.
Which industries are more focused on Sensitive Data Management?
Highly regulated industries like financial services, healthcare, insurance, SaaS, government, and e-commerce are the most sensitive-data focused but with APIs powering every digital interaction, this is now every industry’s concern.
Being a start-up, should I care about Sensitive Data?
Absolutely. Sensitive data exposure is the fastest way to lose customer trust or fail compliance as you scale. Levo helps startups embed security from day one without slowing development down.
Can I customize what's considered Sensitive Data?
Yes. Levo lets you define custom data classifications directly from the UI, instantly applying them across all APIs and environments so your security evolves with your policies.
Can Levo detect misconfigurations that expose sensitive data?
Yes. Levo flags SSL/TLS issues, insecure cookies, missing headers, unencrypted traffic, token leaks, and more so exposure risks are eliminated before they reach production.
How does Levo enforce access control around sensitive data?
Levo dynamically maps roles, scopes, and paths to detect and test BOLA, IDOR, and over-permissioned roles ensuring only the right users access the right data, across every endpoint.
Can I define what counts as sensitive?
Yes. Levo ships with pre-configured detection for common sensitive data types like PII, PHI, PCI, and authentication tokens. Beyond that, Levo lets you define custom patterns whether regex-based, field-level, or context-aware directly from the UI using Python or YAML-based rules. These definitions are instantly applied across all environments and APIs, ensuring that evolving internal mandates or regulatory changes are reflected system-wide in real time.
Does this work with GraphQL and gRPC?
Absolutely. Levo supports REST, GraphQL, and binary protocols like gRPC, including deeply nested and polymorphic request/response structures. For GraphQL, Levo inspects both queries and responses to classify data at the field level even if dynamically constructed. For gRPC, Levo parses and reconstructs Protobuf messages to surface sensitive fields and flow paths ensuring complete observability regardless of protocol type or encoding.
How often is classification updated?
Continuously. Levo monitors live traffic across all environments and automatically reclassifies sensitive data as APIs evolve, new endpoints emerge, or data patterns shift. This real-time classification ensures your data maps and access controls reflect the current state of the application not a stale snapshot. No need for scheduled scans or manual tagging Levo adapts with every commit, release, or deployment.
Does this help with compliance audits?
Yes. Levo enables compliance with frameworks like GDPR, HIPAA, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, SOC 2, SEBI CSCRF, and DPDP by continuously mapping sensitive data and enforcing real-time access controls.
