Acin

Acin is a London-based operational and non-financial risk (NFR) data company for financial services, founded in 2018 and acquired by regulatory-intelligence firm CUBE in June 2025. Its platform ingests a bank's process, risk and control inventories, standardises them against Acin's published Data Technical Standards — a documented model of Controls, Risks, Processes, Risk Inventories, Regulations, Regulators and Penalties — and benchmarks them anonymously across a peer network of tier-one banks, turning control assessment from a qualitative exercise into a quantified one. Acin is backed by Barclays, BNP Paribas, Citi, J.P. Morgan, Lloyds Banking Group, Fitch Ventures, Notion Capital and Talis Capital, and is listed on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace. It is delivered as a tenant-gated web platform at app.acin.com backed by an Azure API Management GraphQL gateway; there is no public developer program or machine-readable contract.

Acin is listed with 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Operational Risk, Risk Management, Non-Financial Risk, and Financial Services.

Acin’s developer surface includes documentation, support, engineering blog, changelog, authentication, and 20 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Banking & Open Finance regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):

Machine-Readable Contract +18 pts — api_specs includes an OpenAPI document
MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship
Agentic Access Contract +10 pts — agentic_access artifact present (x-agentic-access), graded by author
Idempotency +9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
Stable Error Semantics +8 pts — OpenAPI $refs a shared error schema across 4xx/5xx responses (verified), else common[].type includes ErrorCatalog / ErrorCodes / DeclineCodes
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0

9 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it.

  description: The GraphQL gateway that backs the Acin / CUBE Platform web application. It is served from Acin's own Azure
    API Management instance at apim-prod.acin.com and is referenced by name in the application bundle that app.acin.com serves
    publicly. Every request requires an OAuth 2.0 bearer token issued by Acin's Auth0 tenant at app-auth.acin.com; an anonymous
    request — GET or a POST carrying a GraphQL introspection query — returns HTTP 401 {"statusCode":401,"message":"Authorization
    token is missing or invalid"}. No schema, SDL, or reference for this endpoint is published anywhere public, so the surface
    is recorded here as observed and gated, not described. Acin publishes no OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, or GraphQL SDL.
