- ●Access control allows restriction by resource: 'grant access to servers, subnets, and IP addresses at the user, group, and global levels' and IP whitelisting for API credentials
- ●Comprehensive audit logging: 'Changes made by Administrators and by API are logged' covering 'Access Group, API, API Credentials, User/Device, Network, DNS, SAML IdP configuration' and more
- ●Comprehensive audit logging covering all API and administrative actions
- ●Configurable token expiration with short-lived OAuth tokens (12 hours)
- ●IP whitelisting available for API credentials
⚠️Security Gaps & Recommendations
- ●No token rotation
- ●No pii redaction
- ●No training opt out
- ●No data residency
- ●No ai attribution
- ●No rate limiting
- ●No webhooks
- ●No soc2 certified
- ●No documented rate limiting for API endpoints - critical for preventing abuse
- ●Missing PII redaction capabilities in API responses
AI Integration Security evaluates whether OpenVPN Access Server is safe for AI agent access. This assessment considers authentication strength, access controls, observability capabilities, and data privacy protections when APIs are accessed by AI systems like Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or custom AI agents.

API Intelligence
Transparency indicators showing API availability and access requirements for OpenVPN Access Server.
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.
