Mobile Application Pentesting
Our mobile application penetration testing services identify vulnerabilities across platforms, ensuring your apps are secure from malicious attacks. We simulate real-world scenarios to uncover risks and provide actionable recommendations to safeguard your users and data.
Our Methodology
Enumeration and Mapping
Enumeration and Mapping
Enumeration and Mapping
We begin with reconnaissance and application mapping, where we analyse the app’s architecture, features, and communication channels. This includes identifying APIs, third-party libraries, and backend connections to map the attack surface comprehensively.
Static Analysis
Enumeration and Mapping
Enumeration and Mapping
Our testing continues with static and dynamic analysis. We inspect the app’s codebase (when source code is available) to identify issues like hardcoded secrets, insecure configurations, or weak cryptographic practices.
Dynamic Analysis
Enumeration and Mapping
Dynamic Analysis
Dynamic testing involves using the app in a controlled environment to observe how it handles data, permissions, and user interactions.
Data Storage
Authentication & Authorisation
Dynamic Analysis
A critical part of the process is testing for insecure data storage. We assess how sensitive information like credentials, session tokens, and user data is stored on the device. This includes testing for risks such as data leakage through logs, unencrypted databases, or insecure caching mechanisms.
Communication
Authentication & Authorisation
Authentication & Authorisation
Network communication security is another key focus. We analyse the app’s communication with servers and APIs, testing for vulnerabilities like weak encryption, lack of HTTPS, or exposure of sensitive data during transit.
Authentication & Authorisation
Authentication & Authorisation
Authentication & Authorisation
In addition, we simulate attacks to evaluate authentication and authorisation mechanisms. This includes testing for issues like improper session handling, weak password policies, or bypassing user roles. For apps with APIs, we assess how well the app enforces access controls and protects backend systems.
Reporting

Reporting
During the assessment, all findings are shared in real-time through our reporting portal, giving you immediate visibility into potential risks. Once the engagement is complete, a comprehensive PDF report can be downloaded, detailing vulnerabilities, evidence, and practical remediation steps.

A penetration test, also known as a pentest, is a simulated cyber attack on a computer system to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses. Securebytes provide pentesting services to help businesses strengthen their security.
A penetration test is a snapshot in time assessment, providing a momentary evaluation of the security posture of a system or network. As technology and security landscapes evolve, new vulnerabilities may emerge, making it important to conduct periodic assessments to maintain a robust security stance. For most companies we typically recommend a penetration assessment is conducted annually or after any major changes to applications or systems. However, for some companies that are rapidly deploying new services or changes this could be as often as quarterly.
The duration of the test is based on the scope. The Securebytes® team work with clients to understand their penetration testing requirements and understand their risks to determine the most appropriate scope.
Some common types of cyber threats include malware, ransomware, phishing attacks and Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks. These threats can cause significant damage to your digital assets and compromise your business operations.
