Mobile Application

Assess the Security of Your Mobile Applications

Securebytes provides mobile application penetration testing services designed to identify vulnerabilities within iOS and Android applications before they can be exploited by malicious actors. Assessments focus on how applications securely handle user data, authentication, communications, and interactions with backend systems and APIs.


Our testing approach combines in-depth manual assessment techniques with recognised industry methodologies, including the OWASP Mobile Top 10, helping organisations identify weaknesses that could impact confidentiality, integrity, or user trust.

iOS Application Testing

iOS application assessments evaluate the security of applications running on Apple devices, focusing on areas such as secure data storage, authentication, session handling, API communications, and application hardening.


Typical areas assessed include:

  • Insecure local data storage
  • Weak authentication controls
  • API communication weaknesses
  • Sensitive information disclosure
  • Session management issues
  • Jailbreak detection weaknesses
  • Certificate validation and SSL pinning
  • Insecure permissions and configurations

Android Application Testing

Android application assessments focus on identifying vulnerabilities within application logic, data handling, device interaction, and backend integrations that could allow attackers to compromise users or access sensitive information.


Typical areas assessed include:

  • Insecure data storage
  • Weak authentication and authorisation
  • Insecure API integration
  • Reverse engineering risks
  • Sensitive information exposure
  • Application hardening weaknesses
  • Certificate validation issues
  • Intent and permission misconfigurations

What’s Included

Android application assessments focus on identifying vulnerabilities within application logic, data handling, device interaction, and backend integrations that could allow attackers to compromise users or access sensitive information.

REAL-TIME REPORTING

Securebytes provides clients with access to a modern reporting portal designed to improve visibility, collaboration, and remediation management throughout the assessment lifecycle. Rather than relying solely on static reports, the portal provides an interactive environment where findings, updates, and remediation activity can be managed in real time.

Real-Time Findings Access

View vulnerabilities and security findings as they are identified during the engagement, allowing remediation activities to begin before the final report is delivered.

Asset-Based Finding Management

Findings can be associated with specific assets, applications, or environments, helping organisations clearly understand where vulnerabilities exist and prioritise remediation effectively.

Integrated Collaboration & Communication

Communicate directly with consultants through built-in finding discussions, enabling efficient clarification, remediation support, and ongoing collaboration throughout the assessment.

Remediation & Retest Tracking

Track remediation progress by marking findings as resolved or risk accepted, creating a clear workflow for remediation validation and formal retesting activities.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What platforms can you assess?

We provide security assessments for both iOS and Android mobile applications, including applications distributed privately, internally, or through public app stores.

  • Can backend APIs also be tested?

Yes. Mobile application assessments can include associated backend APIs and supporting infrastructure as part of the engagement scope.

  • Do you test against the OWASP Mobile Top 10?

Yes. Assessments are aligned to recognised methodologies including the OWASP Mobile Top 10 to help identify common vulnerabilities affecting mobile applications.

  • Can testing be performed on applications that are not publicly available?

Yes. Applications distributed internally, through TestFlight, private app stores, APK files, or pre-release builds can all be assessed as part of a mobile application penetration testing engagement.
