Cerby Security Assessment
Security & Compliance
Cerby's automation platform automates away the common security hygiene tasks that leave employees and businesses exposed. Integrating with existing security systems like identity providers (e.g., Okta) and security information and event management systems (e.g., Splunk), Cerby focuses on the apps that end users tend to onboard and administrate outside of the purview of centralized IT.

✅Excellent Security Features
- ●You can set up scopes for your API key to control exactly what information you can access through an API request under the principle of least privilege. With scopes, you can grant read or write permission to your API key. The following are the available scopes: Read activities: Enables reading activity data. Read items: Enables reading account, secret, and collection data. Read accounts: Enables reading account d
- ●When generating an API key, you can set an expiration time to limit their usage, minimize the risk of unauthorized access to your user and account data, and comply with your security standards and regulations. The following are the expiration time options: 1 hour, 12 hours, 1 day, 5 days, 1 year, Custom
- ●With Cerby's multi-factor authentication (MFA) methods, you can choose how users confirm their identities through a push notification on the Cerby mobile app or via an email with a magic link. These methods ensure secure access for performing identity-sensitive actions, such as viewing or editing a secret, regardless of any device constraints.

- →⚠️ Official MCP server not found. Best alternative: https://github.com/camunda/camunda-bpm-platform/issues/3690 (Trust: 40/100)
- →⚠️ ⚠️ Use with caution - review code before use
- →❌ Poor AI readiness - not recommended for AI workflows
AI Readiness measures whether Cerbyprovides the infrastructure and developer resources necessary for secure AI agent integration. High readiness indicates official MCP server support, comprehensive API documentation, and developer-friendly tools.
API Intelligence
Transparency indicators showing API availability and access requirements for Cerby.
API Intelligence
No public API documentation found. This vendor may not offer a public API.
No API Found
We didn't find public API documentation for this vendor. Many SaaS vendors, especially SMB-focused tools, don't offer public REST APIs. This is normal and not a data quality issue.
Note: Not all SaaS vendors offer public APIs. This is completely normal, especially for SMB-focused tools. It doesn't affect the security assessment.
