Mobile Application Penetration Testing

Our mobile application penetration testing identifies vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them, helping you understand where risks exist and what needs to be fixed.
If your organisation relies on a mobile application, protecting the data it handles is essential. Mobile apps interact with APIs, store data on devices, and process sensitive user information, which can create multiple potential entry points for attackers.
6+ Years Experience
Delivering hands-on penetration testing for organisations across a wide range of industries.
CREST Approved
Our testing meets recognised industry standards for professional security assessments.
ISO Certified
Demonstrating strong quality management and information security practices.

What Is Mobile Application Penetration Testing

Mobile application penetration testing evaluates the security of iOS and Android applications by simulating real-world attacks. Our testers analyse how the application handles data, communicates with backend systems, and manages authentication.

By identifying vulnerabilities early, you can address weaknesses before they can be exploited and ensure your application protects both user data and business systems.

Application Security

Why Mobile Application Security Matters

Mobile applications often process personal information, payment data, or sensitive business data. If vulnerabilities exist, attackers may be able to access that information, manipulate application behaviour, or bypass security controls.

Regular penetration testing helps identify these risks early, allowing your organisation to strengthen security and protect the trust of your users.
Clear Risk Visibility
Understand exactly where vulnerabilities exist within your mobile application and supporting systems.
Actionable Findings
Receive clear recommendations your development team can implement to strengthen security.

What Our Mobile Application Testing Covers

Our testing is guided by frameworks such as the OWASP Mobile Top 10, which highlights the most common risks in mobile applications. However, testing is not limited to a fixed checklist.

We tailor our approach based on how your application handles data, communicates with backend services, and operates on user devices. This allows us to identify vulnerabilities beyond standard categories and focus on how attackers would actually interact with your application.
Authentication & Access Control
Testing login mechanisms, session handling, and user permissions to identify ways attackers could gain unauthorised access or escalate privileges.
Local Data Storage
Assessing how sensitive information is stored on devices and whether it can be accessed, extracted, or exposed.
Communication & API Security
Testing how your application communicates with backend services to identify issues such as insecure transmission or exposed endpoints.
Application Behaviour & Input Handling
Assessing how the application responds to unexpected input and whether security controls can be bypassed through manipulation.
Testing is not limited to these areas and is adapted based on your application, architecture, and risk profile.
