c/side

c/side (cside) is a client-side security platform that detects script attacks, AI agents, account takeover, and fraud at the browser layer. It provides active runtime detection that watches what third-party scripts, users, and agents actually do as they execute in the live browser session, in real time, rather than relying on static scans or block-lists, and it automates PCI DSS 4.0.1 requirements 6.4.3 and 11.6.1 (validated by a VikingCloud QSA). cside deploys as a single JavaScript snippet with no proxy and no DNS changes, and was the first client-side security product with integrated AI analysis. The platform protects websites from malicious third-party scripts, e-skimming, Magecart, and supply chain attacks, and adds device fingerprinting (102+ signals), VPN/bot/AI-agent detection, chargeback evidence, and privacy monitoring for GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA. Founded in 2024 and backed by Uncork Capital, cside integrates via a CLI, Next.js and Vite plugins, a manual script tag, and Salesforce Lightning, and sends security alerts through webhook, S3, and Jira/Linear notification endpoints. cside publishes an llms.txt, a public read-only MCP server, and a Trust Center covering SOC 2 Type II, PCI SAQ-D, and ISO 27001.

c/side is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Security, Client-Side Security, Application Security, and Fraud Prevention.

The c/side catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

c/side’s developer surface includes documentation, getting-started guide, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, CLI, changelog, and 21 more developer resources.

Kin Score Kin Score How this is scored →
scored 2026-09-08 · rubric v0.20.0
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Payments 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/.
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. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/c-side: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
