Mobile Application Penetration Testing

Our mobile app penetration test offers transparency and security, regardless of whether you are launching a new mobile app or want to improve an existing app.

Why carry out a mobile application penetration test?

Mobile applications process sensitive data such as payment information, identities or business data on a daily basis, making them an attractive target for attackers. As mobile devices are constantly online and often used in insecure networks, vulnerabilities can quickly become the initial gateway for attackers.

Penetration tests on mobile apps specifically uncover vulnerabilities such as insecure data storage, weak authentication or vulnerable interfaces before they can be exploited. In this way, companies improve their cyber security, meet regulatory requirements and strengthen the trust of customers and partners in their mobile solutions.

Common vulnerabilities in mobile applications

Mobile app vulnerabilities are security gaps in mobile applications that allow attackers to steal data, manipulate functions or compromise devices. Mobile app vulnerabilities that we frequently encounter:

  • Insecure data storage
  • Insufficient authentication and authorization
  • Insecure communication (e.g. lack of encryption)
  • Code injection attacks / input validation errors
  • Reverse engineering due to missing code obfuscation

How we support you

Our mobile app penetration test helps you understand the real risks of your mobile app – whether you’re preparing for launch, conducting regular security assessments or responding to new feature updates.

Targeted attack simulations

We simulate attackers in mobile environments and focus on vulnerabilities through insecure data storage, exposed components, reverse engineering and weak authentication.

Technical know-how

Using a combination of automated tools and manual testing by our experts, we uncover security vulnerabilities that could put your app or your users at risk.

Comprehensive tests in critical environments

Depending on the use case, we check all components of your solution, including APIs, backend and associated infrastructure.

Results of our mobile application penetration tests

A comprehensive assessment of exposed features, storage practices and communication between app and platform

Identification and validation of vulnerabilities specific to mobile platforms - including issues related to the openness of the Android ecosystem

Assess the risks of reverse engineering and the potential disclosure of sensitive logic or credentials

Methodology in accordance with OWASP MASTG, MASVS and OWASP Mobile TOP 10 to ensure coverage of mobile-specific attack surfaces

A clear, prioritized report with actionable recommendations tailored to your app and development lifecycle

Standards we use

Our OT penetration tests are carried out on the foundations of the best practices defined by the following standards:

  • NIST SP 800-82: Industrial Control Systems (ICS) Security Guide
  • ISA/IEC 62443 Cyber security for industrial automation and control systems
  • NIST Cyber Security Framework (CSF)
  • ISO/IEC 27001 : Information security management systems
  • OWASP Top 10 for OT security
