Mobile Application Penetration Testing

Thorough iOS and Android security testing aligned to the OWASP MASVS/MSTG — we probe your mobile app's code, network, and data handling to find flaws before attackers do.

Your mobile app carries your brand — and often sensitive user data — into an environment you don't control: the user's device. Our Mobile Application Penetration Testing finds the vulnerabilities a real attacker could exploit, across both iOS and Android.

We evaluate your app the way an adversary would, analyzing how it stores data, communicates over the network, authenticates users, and protects secrets. Testing is aligned to the OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS) and the Mobile Security Testing Guide (MSTG) — the recognized standards for mobile security.

Mobile apps leak in places web apps don't: insecure local storage, hardcoded API keys, weak certificate validation, and data cached where other apps can read it. We test the client, its network traffic, and the APIs behind it, because a secure app with an insecure backend is still a breach waiting to happen.

The outcome is a mobile app you can ship with confidence — with a clear report of what we found, the real-world impact, and the remediation steps to protect the data your users trust you with.

What you get

  • iOS & Android full coverage across both platforms.
  • OWASP MASVS/MSTG-aligned tested against the recognized mobile standards.
  • Client, network & API the three places mobile apps actually leak.
  • Data-at-rest & in-transit how your app stores and transmits sensitive data.
  • Prioritized report findings ranked by real-world severity, with fixes.
  • Free remediation retest we confirm your fixes actually close the gaps.
  • Remediation support we help you fix, not just find.

// How we work

Our methodology

  1. 1Scoping & rules of engagementWe define the target apps, platforms, test accounts, and the depth of testing (black-box or gray-box) up front, so the engagement is safe, authorized, and focused on your real risk.
  2. 2Static analysisWe inspect the app package, code, and configuration for insecure storage, hardcoded secrets, weak cryptography, and misconfigurations before it ever runs.
  3. 3Dynamic & network testingWe run the app on instrumented devices, intercept its traffic, and test how it handles authentication, session management, and sensitive data in transit.
  4. 4ExploitationWe safely exploit confirmed weaknesses — bypassing controls, extracting data, or abusing trust between the app and its backend — to prove real-world impact.
  5. 5Reporting & retestYou get a prioritized, plain-English report with reproduction steps and fixes, a debrief call, and a free retest to confirm every issue is closed.
// FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do you test both iOS and Android?
Yes — we test both platforms, since the same app often has different weaknesses on each due to platform APIs, storage, and permission models.
Do you test the backend APIs too?
We test the app's communication with its APIs, because a secure client with an insecure backend is still exploitable. Full backend/API testing can be scoped in alongside the mobile engagement.
What standards do you follow?
We align to the OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS) and Mobile Security Testing Guide (MSTG), the recognized benchmarks for mobile app security.
What kinds of issues do you find?
Common findings include insecure data storage, hardcoded secrets and API keys, weak or missing certificate pinning, broken authentication, and sensitive data leaking through logs or caches.
Do you need our source code?
Not necessarily. We can perform black-box testing against the compiled app, or gray-box testing with source and credentials for deeper coverage — we'll recommend the right depth during scoping.
How long does a mobile pentest take?
Most SMB mobile app tests run one to two weeks depending on the app's size and number of features; you'll get a clear timeline before we start.
What do we receive at the end?
A prioritized report with an executive summary, technical findings with reproduction steps and risk ratings, remediation guidance, a debrief call, and a free retest after you fix.
Do you retest after we remediate?
Yes — a remediation retest is included so you have documented proof the issues are resolved.
