Mobile Application Security Testing.
Look beyond the screen: device storage, platform behaviour and the API behind the app.
Mobile assessments combine the application package, its behaviour on an agreed device and the server interfaces it uses. Android and iOS require different builds and access arrangements. The proposal identifies the platform, application version and backend coverage to avoid treating them as one indistinct target.
A clear scope makes the differenceWhat the work
What the work
can cover.
Explore the areas that can shape this engagement. Final coverage follows your systems, priorities and access.
01 / Inside the scope
Local data
Review where the app stores sensitive values and whether logs, caches or backups expose them. Use controlled test information during validation.
02 / Inside the scope
Authentication state
Trace sign-in, sign-out and session expiry across the app and backend. Review device-side decisions alongside server-side enforcement.
03 / Inside the scope
Network communication
Inspect the application’s transport behaviour and endpoint interactions. Review trust settings and the treatment of sensitive data in transit.
04 / Inside the scope
Platform interaction
Review permissions, deep links and exposed components for the chosen platform. Examine how another application or external input reaches app functionality.
05 / Inside the scope
Application package
Review supplied builds for relevant configuration and embedded sensitive material. Document build differences that affect test coverage.
06 / Inside the scope
Backend access
Test selected API calls using the application’s roles and workflows. Check object access independently of controls implemented only in the mobile interface.

Common questions
What defines the scope?
The systems, business objective and evidence you need determine the scope. The assets, access, deliverables and timetable are agreed before work begins.
What will our team receive?
A clear account of coverage, evidence-backed observations and prioritised next actions. The proposal sets out the exact deliverables and any follow-up review.
Can this fit an upcoming release or audit?
Share the milestone and the systems involved. The assessment can be shaped around that decision once technical fit and availability are confirmed.
