Mobile Security Testing

Test your Android’s and iOS application’s Security

Mobile Security Testing

Mobile security testing to protect devices and apps against the latest cyber threats by helping to make our daily lives easier and more productive, mobile devices and applications have become indispensable. However, the sheer amount of data they process means that they are commonly targeted by cybercriminals.

Vtangent’s testing team are skilled at conducting a range of mobile application assessments across Android, iOS, Windows, and other common mobile operating systems. Our mobile application testing service identifies mobile application vulnerabilities and can also review your organization’s Mobile Device Management (MDM) policy.

Stay secure on the move
  • With the huge proliferation of mobile applications comes the need for robust security testing to validate that mobile applications are defending systems and data to the same level as the standard web application.
  • The aim of the exercise is to validate that the mobile application is coded securely, preventing attackers from subverting authentication controls, escalating privileges, introducing malicious code or manipulating the application’s functionality to achieve their goals. Any failure to mask and/or store sensitive information correctly could lead to leakage and its use by applications other than the intended.

Risks

Common security risks:
  • Weak server-side controls
  • Insecure data storage
  • Insufficient transport layer protection
  • Poor authorization and authentication
  • Broken cryptography
  • Client-side injection
  • Security decisions via untrusted inputs
  • Improper session handling
  • API vulnerabilities

What we test

  • Code Quality and Build Settings
  • System Architecture and Design
  • Platform Interaction
  • Network Communication
  • Data Security
  • Authentication and Session Management
  • The encryption of data both in transit and at rest

Our testing methodologies

We tailor penetration testing to your specific mobile application and have developed robust yet flexible testing methodologies that will give you peace of mind.
  • Scoping and planning
  • Mapping and enumeration
  • Vulnerability identification
  • Vulnerability exploitation
  • Classifying, and prioritizing vulnerabilities
  • Reporting
  • Debrief

Professional report with actionable recommendations

All assessments are followed by a comprehensive report, with both non-technical and technical descriptions, alongside recommendations for remediation. This will pass through a Quality Assurance process and then sent directly to you. The report includes:

  • Executive summary
  • Graphical summary
  • Vulnerabilities listing prioritized by risk
  • Vulnerabilities details and recommendations
  • Attestation*

[*At the end of the project, you will be provided with an attestation certifying that penetration tests have been performed by experienced professionals using recognized methodologies and standards. This document will allow you to meet compliance and regulatory reporting requirements efficiently and with minimal overhead.]
