About Mobile Application Security
Why structured, proactive security testing is essential for your organization
Definition & Approach
A mobile application security assessment tests your iOS and Android apps, their backend APIs and the way they store and transmit data, using the OWASP MASVS and MASTG as a benchmark.
- Static and dynamic app analysis
- Local data storage and platform review
- Backend API and network traffic testing
Business Urgency
Mobile apps run on devices you do not control and can be downloaded, decompiled and tampered with by anyone. A single flaw can expose customer data and damage trust in your brand.
Holistic Protection Across Every Attack Surface
Our testing methodologies evaluate entry points, authentication mechanisms, network boundaries, and business logic.
What our mobile application security assessment covers
Native, hybrid and cross-platform apps, tested from the device through to the backend.
Static Code & Binary Analysis
Decompile and review your app package for hard-coded secrets, weak logic and risky libraries.
Dynamic Runtime Testing
Test the running app on real devices to see how it behaves under attack.
Local Data Storage
Detect sensitive data left in files, databases, logs, backups and the clipboard.
Network & API Communication
Check TLS, certificate pinning and the backend APIs that the app depends on.
Authentication & Session Management
Test login, biometrics, token handling and session expiry across the app.
Platform & Configuration Review
Review permissions, deep links, exported components and platform-specific settings.
