Mobile Application Security Testing

Overview

Mobile application security testing assesses iOS and Android apps for vulnerabilities in code, data storage, communication and platform integration. It combines reverse engineering and static analysis of the binary with dynamic testing on instrumented devices, measured against the OWASP MASVS standard. Mobile apps store sensitive user and business data and are frequent targets for threats such as insecure storage, API abuse, code tampering and reverse engineering. Security testing identifies these weaknesses before attackers can exploit them.

Methodology & Standards

OWASP MASVS (L1, L2, MASVS-R), OWASP MASTG and the MAS Checklist, with backend testing against the OWASP API Top 10. Tooling includes MobSF, Frida, Objection, Burp Suite, Drozer, JADX and Ghidra.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We test each platform separately because the code, storage and platform APIs differ, and we assess the backend APIs the app talks to, then report per-platform and shared findings.

Yes. We perform black-box and grey-box testing by reverse-engineering the compiled app. Source and a test build improve depth and speed, but are not required.

L1 is the baseline for all apps. L2 adds defence-in-depth for apps handling sensitive data, and MASVS-R adds resilience against reverse engineering and tampering. We scope the right level to your risk.

Mobile applications often process sensitive user and business data. Security testing helps identify weaknesses such as insecure storage, API vulnerabilities, and code tampering before they can be exploited.
