Mobile Application Penetration Testing Services for iOS and Android
Detect app logic and insecure data storage flaws, expose backend trust paths, deliver reproducible exploits, developer fixes, and compliance mappings with mobile application penetration testing
Why Mobile Pentesting Matters?
Mobile apps can have flaws that let attackers steal tokens, escalate privileges, and access backend services; mobile application testing proves exploitability, prevents breaches, and protects revenue and enterprise trust.
Insecure local storage
Broken authentication and session handling
Untrusted input and logic flaws
Insecure network and API design
Tampering and reverse engineering
Software Secured’s Mobile Application Pentesting
We assume attacker techniques - binary tampering, runtime manipulation, and API abuse, then produce reproducible exploits, telemetry, and prioritized fixes for engineering and compliance workflows across regulated mobile applications.
Binary analysis and instrumentation
We inspect compiled binaries and instrument runtime behavior
- Reveal exploitable code paths quickly
- Confirm insecure API usage and secrets
Local storage and secure enclave checks
We validate encryption, key storage, and secure element usage
- Confirm keys stored securely in enclave
- Reduce secret leakage from local storage
Authentication and session logic testing
We test token issuance, refresh flows, and SSO integrations
- Reveal token flows vulnerable to abuse
- Provide remediation timelines and prioritized fixes
API and backend trust mapping
We map app endpoints to backend controls and test privilege boundaries
- Expose backend privilege boundary weaknesses
- Enable prioritized API remediation steps
Runtime manipulation and tamper tests
We simulate device breaches and altered client behaviour to evaluate their effect
- Measure impact of modified clients
- Deliver reproducible tamper exploits and mitigations
What sets Software Secured Apart
Reproducible exploit chains
We deliver step-by-step proof-of-concept attacks with timelines
- Show leadership measurable risk and impact
- Provide engineers clear reproduction steps
Platform-aware metrics for leadership
Findings include vulnerability metrics that appeal to upper management
- Demonstrate reduced risk and higher ROI
- Prioritize detection and fixes using data
Portal feature
Each vulnerability includes impact, repro, and remediation. Reports include technical evidence linked to executive summaries
- Deliver audit-ready reports for compliance teams
- Guide engineers with context and retest steps
Integration and remediation velocity
Jira and Slack integration plus pentest project management accelerate fixes
- Accelerate fixes and streamline developer workflows
- Reduce audit delays through faster closure

“I was impressed at how thorough the test plan was, and how "deep" some of the issues were that their testing uncovered. Also, the onboarding process was simple and painless: they were able to articulate exactly what they needed from us, and showed a clear understanding of the product they would be testing during our initial demo”

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a mobile app penetration test take?
A mobile app penetration test typically takes anywhere from 3 days to 4 weeks, depending on the complexity of the application. A simple app with basic features can usually be tested in 3–5 days, while a more complex app with multiple APIs, platforms (iOS and Android), and integrations may take 2–4 weeks. Most standard tests fall within the 1–2 week range.
How much does a mobile app penetration test cost?
Mobile app penetration tests start at $10,800 USD. Your final price depends on the number of platforms (iOS, Android or both), the app’s complexity and how much of the backend API is in scope. We deliver a fixed quote within 48 hours of your scoping call, and you can request a retest within 12 months of receiving your report.
Do you follow OWASP MASVS?
Yes. Software Secured's mobile penetration testing methodology is aligned to OWASP MASVS / MASTG (Mobile Application Security Verification Standard / Mobile Application Security Testing Guide), as well as Google and Apple platform standards. This means testing validates that sensitive data handled by your iOS, Android, or Windows app is protected at rest and in transit, and that the app can't be abused as a pathway to compromise backend services.
Do you test both iOS and Android apps?
Yes. We offer native iOS and Android mobile penetration testing, as well as other mobile apps, hybrid apps, and progressive web apps, including platform-specific storage and runtime protections for mobile applications.
Can you test apps that integrate with third-party SDKs?
Yes. We analyze SDK behavior, network interactions, and any third-party trust that could leak sensitive data or extend the attack surface across mobile apps.
Do you require source code or can you test binaries?
We test from binaries if the source is unavailable, but unstripped binaries or source speeds reverse engineering and increase coverage depth for penetration testing mobile apps.
Will testing break user data or production services?
We follow strict rules of engagement; destructive actions are avoided or run in controlled windows with rollback and safe-scope guidance across mobile apps.
How do results support audits and compliance?
Deliverables include repro steps, impact statements, CVSS/DREAD scoring, Portal evidence, remediation verification, and security assessments to satisfy auditors and procurement teams.
Our security researchers evaluate security risks across mobile apps throughout the software development lifecycle using OWASP mobile guidance.
