Why it matters
Practical evidence, not scanner noise.
Mobile apps often combine client-side assumptions with sensitive API access. We help teams find insecure storage, weak transport controls, and abuse paths before release.
What we test
- Insecure local storage in keychain, SharedPreferences, SQLite, or files
- Improper platform usage and permissions
- Traffic interception and certificate pinning bypass
- Authentication and authorisation flaws
- Code tampering and reverse engineering resistance
- Insecure communication channels
- Client-side injection
- Hardcoded secrets and API keys
- Third-party SDK vulnerabilities
- Deep links and inter-process communication abuse
What you receive
- OWASP MASVS and MSTG-aligned report
- Static and dynamic analysis findings
- Proof-of-concept screenshots and network captures
- Platform-specific remediation guidance
- Free retest within 90 days
- App store and compliance notes where relevant
Methodology
How the engagement runs
- 01
Collect builds, test accounts, platform targets, and API details.
- 02
Perform static review of the binary and bundled dependencies.
- 03
Run dynamic testing with instrumented devices and intercepted traffic.
- 04
Validate mobile-to-API abuse paths and local data exposure.
- 05
Retest fixed controls and confirm platform-specific remediation.
FAQ
Common questions
Do you test both iOS and Android?
Yes. We can test either platform individually or run a combined engagement where both clients share the same back end.
Can you bypass certificate pinning?
Where technically possible and in scope, yes. We test whether pinning and transport controls meaningfully resist interception and tampering.
Do you test the API behind the app?
Yes. Mobile app security depends heavily on back-end API behaviour, so API authorisation and data exposure are normally included.
