Mobile Application Penetration Testing
Evaluates the security of a mobile application by simulating real-world attacks, uncovering weaknesses in code, architecture, and design.
Seven phases.
Scope Definition
Establish which application components require evaluation, which methodologies apply, and what the assessment should achieve.
Information Gathering
Collect intelligence on the application's structure, architecture, and technology stack.
Vulnerability Assessment
Scan for known vulnerabilities such as buffer overflows, cross-site scripting, SQL injection, or sensitive data exposure.
Penetration Testing
Execute simulated attacks using manual techniques and automated tools to uncover exploitable gaps.
Reporting
Document vulnerabilities found, their impact, and recommended remediation.
Remediation
Work with the development team to explain resolution strategies and oversee implementation.
Verification
Retest to confirm the application meets the required security standard.
What you receive.
Executive Summary
A high-level overview of the results: the vulnerabilities found, their impact and severity, and a risk rating.
Detailed Report
Each vulnerability described in full, with the evidence of its existence and the recommended remediation steps.
Vulnerability Evidence
Screenshots, log files, and other evidence demonstrating that each vulnerability exists and what it exposes.
Recommendations
Actionable fixes for what was found, and for the security posture of the application behind it.
Knowledge Transfer
A presentation and discussion with your team covering the findings, the severe vulnerabilities, and remediation.
Where this connects.
Web Application VA/PT
The same seven-phase discipline applied to web applications and their APIs.
Software Source Code Review
Finds issues in the code itself. Penetration testing confirms which of them are reachable at runtime.
Web Application Assessment
The tooling that keeps scanning between engagements.
Common questions.
Is testing automated or manual?
Both. The vulnerability assessment phase scans for known issues such as buffer overflows, cross-site scripting, SQL injection, and sensitive data exposure. The penetration testing phase then uses manual techniques alongside automated tools to find what a scanner alone will miss.
Do you retest after we fix the findings?
Yes. Verification is a defined phase of the engagement. We retest to confirm the application meets the required security standard once remediation is complete.
Do you work with our developers on the fixes?
Yes. The remediation phase involves working directly with your development team to explain resolution strategies and oversee implementation, rather than handing over a report and stopping there.
What do we receive?
An executive summary, a detailed report, vulnerability evidence, recommendations, and a knowledge transfer session for the team.
