Mobile Application Security Testing

Mobile apps are a unique attack surface — running on untrusted devices, communicating over potentially-hostile networks. We test for the threats that desktop and web testing miss entirely.

Outcomes, not just findings.

OWASP MASVS coverage

Testing aligned to the OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard L1 and L2 — the industry baseline for mobile app security.

Reverse-engineering resistance

Findings include client-side hardening recommendations: anti-tampering, anti-debugging, certificate pinning, root and jailbreak detection.

Network & API findings

Mobile-specific network attacks tested — TLS validation flaws, certificate pinning bypass, mobile-API authentication weaknesses.

Store-submission ready

Findings prioritized by App Store and Play Store policy implications, so submission delays are avoided.

A complete mobile application security testing engagement.

/ 01

Static Analysis (SAST)

Decompiled binary analysis, secrets scanning, third-party SDK review, and hardcoded-credential detection.

/ 02

Dynamic Analysis (DAST)

Runtime testing on rooted and jailbroken devices — hooking, network interception, and local-storage inspection.

/ 03

Network Layer Testing

TLS implementation review, certificate pinning bypass attempts, and mobile-API authentication testing.

/ 04

Local Storage Review

Sensitive data exposure on device — Keychain and Keystore usage, SQLite databases, shared preferences, and log files.

/ 05

Platform-Specific Hardening

iOS: ATS, code signing, Keychain ACLs. Android: ProGuard, root detection, intent security, and content-provider exposure.

/ 06

Developer Workshop

Optional session with your mobile engineers covering common pitfalls and platform-specific best practices.

Industry-standard tools, senior-led tradecraft.

A clear path from scope to sign-off.

01

Scope

Define applications, platforms (iOS / Android), versions, and depth of testing required.

02

Test

Static and dynamic analysis on real devices, plus network and API testing.

03

Report

Findings categorized by MASVS controls, with platform-specific remediation code samples.

04

Retest

Validation testing after fixes, plus pre-submission review if requested.

Common questions.

Do you test both iOS and Android?
Yes — full coverage of both platforms. We use the same security model (OWASP MASVS), but the implementation differs significantly, so testing is platform-specific.
Can you test apps that aren't published yet?
Absolutely — pre-launch testing is ideal. We work from IPA or APK files plus optional source code, on internal builds. Findings are fixed before customers ever see them.
What about apps using cross-platform frameworks (Flutter, React Native)?
We test these too — including the framework-specific risks. JavaScript bridges, Dart compilation, and embedded web views each have unique attack surfaces we cover.
Do you cover backend APIs too?
Mobile testing typically focuses on the client app, but most engagements include the mobile-specific APIs the app calls. Full backend testing is a separate web-app pen test we can bundle.
