Armor

Armor (legal name Armor Defense Inc.) is a cybersecurity company headquartered in Plano, Texas, founded as FireHost in 2009 by Chris Drake and rebranded as Armor as its portfolio expanded from secure cloud hosting into managed security. Armor sells vendor-agnostic, cloud-native managed detection and response (Armor MDR), compliant managed private cloud (Armor Enterprise Cloud), the Armor Agent workload protection agent (formerly Armor Anywhere), and compliance and offensive-security professional services, to more than 1,700 organizations across 40 countries with a 24/7 follow-the-sun SOC operating from Plano, London, Singapore and Pune. Armor publishes a public developer portal at developer.armor.com that serves sixteen machine-readable contracts through ReDoc: four Swagger 2.0 documents for the original v1 Armor Services API on api.armor.com (account management, infrastructure, security and support, 254 operations) and twelve OpenAPI 3.0.3 documents for the v2 platform on *.api.secure-prod.services (accounts, agent management, compliance and CSPM, container security, incident management, infrastructure management, log management, notifications, webhooks, the unified MDR public API, and the ARMOR-PSK and FH-AUTH authentication contracts). Armor also publishes a detailed first-party llms.txt at armor.com/llms.txt and holds SOC 2 Type II, HITRUST CSF, PCI DSS Level 1 Service Provider, ISO 27001, TX-RAMP Level 2, HIPAA and Data Privacy Framework attestations.

Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Armor the way a machine reads it — 147 machine-readable artifacts across 70 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Armor scores 50.9/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 51/100 (agent ready). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Armor

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Armor. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 70

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

MCP Servers 1

Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

Event Specifications 1

Not every API is request/response. AsyncAPI describes the event-driven and streaming side — the webhooks and channels — so the asynchronous half of the interface is documented the same way the synchronous half is.

AsyncAPI definitions for this provider's event-driven and streaming APIs.

Security Posture 2

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

OAuth scopes are the vocabulary of least-privilege access. Profiling them shows exactly what an integration — or an agent acting on a user's behalf — is allowed to do.

Agentic Access 1

An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Armor, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
