Mobile Application Penetration Testing

iOS and Android, inside and out.

Static and dynamic testing of iOS and Android apps, from insecure storage and transport to reverse engineering and the APIs behind them, aligned to the OWASP MASVS.

What we test

Where we focus

Insecure local data storage

Transport security and pinning

Reverse engineering and tampering

Authentication and session handling

Back-end API abuse

Platform and permission misuse

This is part of our Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing service. Retest validation is included at no added cost.

Who it's for

Teams that ship iOS or Android apps handling accounts, payments, health, or other sensitive data, and anyone who needs assurance that data stored on the device and sent to the backend is protected.

FAQ

Common questions

What is mobile application penetration testing?

Mobile application penetration testing combines static and dynamic analysis of an iOS or Android app to find weaknesses in local data storage, transport security, authentication, and the backend APIs it relies on. It is commonly aligned to the OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS).

What is the OWASP MASVS?

The Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS) is an OWASP framework that defines security requirements for mobile apps across areas such as storage, cryptography, authentication, network communication, and resistance to reverse engineering. It provides a consistent baseline for what to test.

Do you test the backend APIs too, or just the app on the device?

Both. Much of a mobile app's real risk sits in the APIs behind it, so testing covers server-side authorization and data exposure alongside on-device issues like insecure storage, weak transport security, and tampering or reverse-engineering resistance.
