Why Mobile Apps Carry Risks That Web Testing Doesn't Cover

Mobile applications introduce a unique set of risks that go far beyond the backend API they connect to. Insecure local storage, weak certificate validation, and reverse-engineering risks all live on the device itself. Our mobile application testing services examine the full picture, including the client, the backend, and the communication between them.

$
1

Testing aligned with the OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard

2

Static and dynamic analysis of iOS and Android applications on real devices

3

Reverse engineering to assess how easily the app's logic and secrets can be extracted

4

Backend API testing to evaluate the server-side components the app relies on

What Mobile Application Testing Protects You From

Protect Sensitive Credentials and Secrets

Prevent attackers from extracting API keys, credentials, or secrets from your app binary

Secure User Data on Mobile Devices

Identify insecure local storage that could expose user data on a lost or compromised device

Strengthen Transport Layer Security

Find weak certificate pinning and transport security issues before they're exploited

Safeguard Brand Reputation

Protect your brand reputation in app stores where security incidents spread fast

Support Regulatory and Data Protection Compliance

Support compliance needs for apps handling health, financial, or personal data

Our Mobile Application Testing Process

We test your application from every angle, combining technical analysis of the app itself with testing of the backend systems it depends on.

Static analysis of the application binary to identify hardcoded secrets and insecure configurations

Dynamic analysis on real devices to observe runtime behavior and data handling

Local storage and data-at-rest testing to identify insecure storage of sensitive information

Network communication testing including certificate pinning and transport security review

Backend API testing to assess authentication, authorization, and data exposure

Reverse engineering assessment to evaluate how easily the app can be tampered with

Reporting with platform-specific findings for iOS and Android and clear remediation guidance

Mobile Application Testing Services We Provide

iOS Application Penetration Testing

Testing tailored to iOS-specific risks, including jailbreak detection bypasses, keychain storage issues, and binary protections.

Android Application Penetration Testing

Assessment of Android-specific risks including insecure intents, root detection, and local storage protections.

Mobile API and Backend Testing

Evaluation of the backend services your mobile app communicates with, focused on authentication and data exposure risks.

Mobile App Hardening Reviews

Recommendations for code obfuscation, anti-tampering measures, and secure configuration to make your app harder to reverse engineer.

Pluto Security Mobile Application Testing Services

Full-Stack Mobile Security, Not Just a Surface Check

Testing a mobile app properly means going beyond the interface. Pluto Security's team examines the binary itself, the data stored on the device, the network traffic, and the backend API, because attackers will target whichever piece is weakest. Our manual-first approach, backed by OSCP and GIAC certified testers, gives you a complete picture of your mobile app's real security posture, with findings mapped to OWASP MASVS so the results translate directly into your security and compliance documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

headingimg

Get answers to common questions about our cybersecurity services and how we can protect your business.

1.What is different about testing a mobile app compared to a web app?

Mobile apps introduce risks that do not exist on the web, like insecure local data storage, weak certificate pinning, reverse engineering of the compiled binary, and insecure inter app communication. We test the iOS and Android client itself along with the backend APIs it talks to, since a vulnerability in either one can expose your users.

2.Do you test both iOS and Android applications?

Yes, both platforms, and we adjust our methodology to the specific risks of each. Android apps get closer scrutiny around exported components and permission handling, while iOS apps get extra attention on keychain usage and jailbreak detection bypass.

3.Can you test an app that is still in development, before it goes live?

Yes, and we recommend it. Catching authentication or storage issues before launch is far cheaper than fixing them after your app is in app stores with real user data attached. We can also work directly with your development team in a DevSecOps style workflow if you are shipping frequent updates.

4.How long does a mobile application penetration test take?

Most engagements run one to three weeks depending on app complexity and the number of user roles or backend integrations involved. We will give you a specific timeline once we understand the app's scope during our initial scoping conversation.
