Mobile Application Security Testing
Comprehensive security assessments for iOS and Android applications. Our experts use advanced manual testing, reverse engineering, and exploitation techniques to uncover vulnerabilities that automated tools miss.
What is Mobile Application Security Testing?
Mobile Application Security Testing is the process that systematically evaluates mobile apps to identify, assess, and remediate security vulnerabilities throughout their lifecycle. This testing goes beyond just spotting bugs — it ensures that the application is designed, developed, and maintained with robust security practices.
It involves a combination of static analysis, dynamic analysis, manual penetration testing, and reverse engineering to uncover weaknesses that could be exploited by attackers. Without proper testing, vulnerabilities can lead to data breaches, financial loss, and reputational damage.
Our Testing Process
A comprehensive, multi-layered approach tailored to your app's architecture, complexity, and compliance requirements.
Initial Assessment & Scope Definition
Risk Profiling & Asset Identification
In-depth risk analysis to map out critical assets and potential threat vectors unique to your mobile application.
Scope & Objectives
Collaborating with your team to define precise testing boundaries and establish clear security objectives aligned with your regulatory requirements.
Environment Analysis
Reviewing your development, staging, or production environments to understand operational context, integration points, and external dependencies.
Automated & Manual Testing
Automated Static Analysis
Inspecting source code and binaries for insecure coding patterns, improper cryptographic implementations, and data leakage using commercial and in-house tools.
Dynamic Analysis
Evaluating your app in real-time, scrutinizing runtime behaviors, session management, API interactions, and network communications.
Manual Penetration Testing
Targeted manual testing including reverse engineering, code review, and exploitation techniques to uncover complex vulnerabilities automated tools miss.
Reporting & Remediation Guidance
Detailed Vulnerability Report
Comprehensive report detailing each vulnerability with technical evidence, risk ratings, and potential impact assessments.
Remediation Strategies
Actionable remediation guidance, best practices, and step-by-step recommendations tailored to your app's architecture.
Compliance Alignment
Findings and recommendations aligned with necessary compliance standards, streamlining your path to regulatory adherence.
Retesting & Final Validation
Verification Testing
Full retest after remediation to confirm all vulnerabilities have been properly resolved.
Final Security Validation
Regression testing to ensure no new vulnerabilities have been introduced, guaranteeing your mobile app remains secure and resilient.
Security Sign-Off
Final report with pass/fail status for each finding, providing clear evidence of your app's security posture for stakeholders.
