Mobile application testing

Is your mobile app secure in your users’ hands?

We test Android and iOS applications manually, so flaws that put user data at risk come to light before release – not after a data breach.

Business risk

A mobile app holds more than the screen shows.

Authentication, locally stored data, backend communication: a mobile app handles all of it on a device the company has no control over.

App store approval is not a security review

App Store and Google Play review focuses mainly on policy compliance, not on the security flaws of the app.

An approved app can still contain hard-coded keys, insecurely stored tokens or unprotected API endpoints.

Customers blame the company, not the developer

If customer data leaks from a mobile app, user trust and the company’s reputation suffer – even if an external developer caused the flaw.

Locally stored passwords, weak session handling and authorisation flaws can typically be uncovered through manual testing before release.

Your app is in every customer’s pocket

Anyone can download, decompile and analyse it. Whatever is reachable in the code, on the device or in the API traffic, an attacker can find too.

The only question is who finds it first: an attacker or our specialists.

Every finding comes with technical evidence and concrete remediation guidance your development team can follow directly. If the API behind the app also needs testing, it can be combined with our API testing.

Methodology

How we test your mobile applications in real-world conditions.

Our mobile application testing is aligned with the OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS). This means the results are measured against an internationally recognised standard – a clear reference point for both developers and auditors.

  • Local data storage practices
  • Secure storage mechanisms
  • Protection of sensitive application data
  • Use of encryption where appropriate
  • Platform-related security controls
  • Android- or iOS-specific considerations
  • Security settings and implementation choices relevant to the platform
  • Selection of cryptographic algorithms
  • Appropriateness of implementation
  • Protection of sensitive values
  • Weaknesses arising from insecure cryptographic usage
  • Security-relevant coding practices
  • Weaknesses affecting application behaviour
  • Implementation issues that may introduce avoidable risk
  • Authentication flow design
  • Reliability and security of authentication mechanisms
  • Weaknesses that may affect access to user or application functionality
  • Resistance to reverse engineering and analysis
  • Tampering and integrity checks
  • Behaviour on rooted, jailbroken or manipulated devices
  • Communication security
  • Transmission of sensitive data
  • Weaknesses in network interaction
  • Exposure arising from insecure communication practices
