Secureroot's mobile app penetration testing services help fintech, healthcare, and consumer app builders find security weaknesses in iOS and Android applications. OWASP MASVS aligned. Static + dynamic + runtime testing by ISO 27001 certified consultants. Trusted by MoJ Kuwait and India's leading enterprises.
Mobile app penetration testing is a structured security exercise where certified ethical hackers test your iOS or Android application – the app binary itself, the backend APIs it talks to, the network communications between them, and the runtime behavior on a real device – to find vulnerabilities before real attackers do. It’s different from web app testing because mobile apps face threats web apps never see: device-level attacks, app store integrity issues, runtime tampering, and offline data exposure.
We test mobile apps across three distinct layers. (1) Static analysis: decompiling the APK or IPA file to review source code, hardcoded secrets, weak cryptography, and obfuscation effectiveness. (2) Dynamic analysis: running the app on real devices to test authentication flows, session handling, deep links, and runtime behavior. (3) Network analysis: man-in-the-middle attacks, certificate pinning bypass, API security, and SSL/TLS configuration. Coverage maps to OWASP Mobile Top 10 and OWASP MASVS (Mobile Application Security Verification Standard).
If your business depends on a mobile app – fintech payments, healthcare records, e-commerce checkout, telemedicine, or consumer services – you’re handling user data on devices you don’t control. Indian regulators (RBI’s Digital Lending Guidelines, IRDAI, DPDP Act 2023) require demonstrable security testing. Apple App Store and Google Play Store reject apps with security flaws during review. And one breach can compromise thousands of users at once. Mobile app pen testing isn’t optional – it’s how serious app builders prove they protect user trust.
We follow OWASP MASVS, OWASP MSTG, and NIST SP 800-163 frameworks. Every mobile engagement runs through these five steps – covering iOS and Android.
We decompile the APK/IPA, review the source code, identify hardcoded secrets, weak cryptography, insecure storage, and obfuscation gaps using MobSF and manual review.
We install the app on real iOS and Android devices, test authentication flows, deep links, biometric integration, session handling, and runtime behavior using Frida and Objection.
We intercept all API traffic using Burp Suite Mobile, test certificate pinning, SSL/TLS configuration, API authentication, and run MITM (man-in-the-middle) attacks.
We test root/jailbreak detection bypass, runtime tampering (method swizzling, Frida hooks), local data exposure on jailbroken devices, and IPC vulnerabilities.
Every finding documented with reproduction steps, CVSS scoring, business impact, and remediation guidance. Free retest after your team patches – engagement only closes when fixes are verified.
Once your team patches the findings, we verify the fixes at no extra cost. Engagement only closes when everything’s actually fixed.
Click any area to expand. Every engagement covers all 8 categories across iOS and Android — scope depth varies based on your app’s complexity.
