Mobile App Security
Mobile apps store credentials, tokens and sensitive data on the user's device. We perform static and dynamic analysis of iOS and Android apps (native and hybrid) following OWASP MASVS and MSTG, validating cryptography, local storage, communications and resistance to reverse engineering.

of mobile apps fail at least one OWASP MASVS control

Reference framework
We validate against the eight domains of OWASP MASVS (Mobile Application Security Verification Standard), applying level L1 (baseline) or L2 (defense in depth) according to the app's criticality.
Keychain/Keystore, avoid sensitive logs, don't expose data in backups, protect shared files.
Modern algorithms, secure key management, don't roll your own primitives, proper randomness.
Secure session handling, biometrics, MFA, server-side validation of all authorization.
TLS 1.2+, certificate pinning, chain validation, reject invalid certificates.
Secure WebViews, controlled IPC, validated deep links, safe handling of intents and schemes.
Compiler with security flags, up-to-date libraries, exception handling, no debug enabled.
Anti-debug, anti-tampering, root/jailbreak detection, obfuscation proportional to risk.
Data minimization, explicit consent, tracking transparency, GDPR/Habeas Data compliance.
The binary and its resistance to reverse engineering, local storage of sensitive data, backend communication, session and credential handling, and device integrity controls. We use OWASP MASVS as the reference framework.
Yes, both platforms. Each has its own permission model, storage and platform protections, so findings are rarely identical even for the same app.
A man-in-the-middle attack intercepts traffic between the app and the server. It is critical on mobile because many applications do not implement certificate pinning correctly, allowing data to be read or altered on hostile networks such as public wifi.
No. We can work with a pre-production build or the APK/IPA file directly, which lets you fix issues before release.
