Authorized service
Mobile Application Security Testing
Mobile applications are reviewed as part of a larger trust chain. We assess the client, its data handling, and the backend interactions that determine whether the mobile experience can be trusted under misuse conditions.
Authorization requirement
This service is delivered only for client-owned or client-administered assets with written authorization, approved scope, and agreed rules of engagement.
Engagement snapshot
What to expect before work begins
- Written authorization for the app and any supporting backend scope
- Approved build artifacts, test accounts, or device-access instructions
- Scope agreement covering supported platforms and environments
Who this is for
- Consumer and enterprise mobile product teams
- Teams shipping sensitive identity, payments, or health-related workflows
- Organizations preparing for release or customer assurance review
Required client inputs
- APK, IPA, or approved testing builds
- Environment notes, test credentials, and workflow priorities
- Operational constraints for mobile backend validation
In scope
- Local storage, configuration, and sensitive data handling review
- Authentication, session, and device trust assumptions
- Mobile-to-backend flows included in the written assessment scope
Out of scope
- Testing of unrelated user devices or third-party services without approval
- Requests for stealth tracking, monitoring, or non-consensual device access
- Disruptive runtime actions outside the agreed safety boundaries
Deliverables
- Platform-specific findings summary
- Evidence-led technical notes for mobile and backend teams
- Remediation guidance and optional retest commentary
Typical timeline
- Most mobile assessments run 5 to 10 business days after test artifacts are available
- Complex mobile and API combined reviews may require staged delivery
Safe testing safeguards
- Sensitive data is handled minimally and only to validate approved findings
- Backend calls are reviewed within rate and scope constraints
- High-risk actions are coordinated before validation if they could affect live workflows
What we do not support
We do not perform unauthorized testing, account access, data extraction, disruption, extortion, spyware, stealth monitoring, or activity outside approved scope.
We do not accept requests to access accounts, collect credentials, evade controls, or bypass a target owner's consent.
We do not position public platform areas as consumer tools for live monitoring, exploitation, or surveillance.
FAQ
Do you review the backing APIs too?
Yes, when the backend paths are part of the approved scope, because many mobile findings depend on server-side enforcement.
Can testing be limited to staging?
Yes. The environment is chosen during scoping so the assessment fits your delivery and safety requirements.
