Mobile app penetration testing for iOS and Android

We test your iOS and Android apps and the APIs behind them, from the code on the device to the data in transit, so customer data and business logic stay protected wherever the app runs.

Overview

Attackers can take your app apart at their leisure

Mobile apps carry your brand, your customers' personal data and often payment or identity functions. Anyone can download your app, unpack it and study it, so security can't rely on the app being hard to reach.

Our mobile testing combines static analysis of the app package, dynamic testing on rooted and jailbroken devices, and testing of the backend APIs the app talks to. It follows the OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS) and the OWASP Mobile Application Security Testing Guide (MASTG).

Scope

What we test

Local data storage

Credentials, tokens and personal data stored on the device, in logs, caches, backups or shared storage.

Network communication

TLS configuration, certificate pinning and what can be read or changed in transit.

Authentication & sessions

Reverse engineering & tampering

Hard-coded secrets, obfuscation, root and jailbreak detection, and runtime manipulation.

Platform interaction

Permissions, deep links, intents, WebViews and communication with other apps.

Backend APIs

The server side of the app, where most serious mobile data breaches actually happen.

How it works

The Digital Fortress protocol

Every engagement follows a disciplined, repeatable protocol, governed by signed rules of engagement so your operations stay protected throughout.

Phase 01

Reconnaissance & planning

We map your footprint, confirm targets and agree scope and rules of engagement in writing.

Phase 02

Identification & analysis

Automated scanning plus deep manual analysis pinpoints weaknesses, including business-logic flaws tools miss.

Phase 03

Exploitation & validation

Under controlled conditions we safely exploit findings to prove real-world impact, with no disruption.

Phase 04

Reporting & re-test

Executive and technical reports, a debrief with your team, and a complimentary re-test to confirm every fix.

Standards & frameworks

Mapped to the standards you report against

Findings are mapped to the frameworks your auditors and regulators use, so the report also works as compliance evidence.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do you test both iOS and Android?

Yes, either or both. Where the apps share a backend, we test the APIs once and report platform-specific issues separately.

What do you need from us?

The app build (IPA/APK or a store link), test accounts for each user role, and API documentation if you have it. Source code is optional but lets us test more deeply.

Can you test an app before it is published?

Yes, and we recommend it. Testing a pre-release build means issues are fixed before customers ever install the app.

Is the backend API included?

We strongly recommend including it, because the API is where an attacker reaches your data. We scope it together with the app so nothing falls between two tests.
