Mobile applications are now central to the way we live and do business. They often store personal information and connect to your back-office systems. If an app isn’t properly secured, attackers may be able to access sensitive data or even compromise other parts of your network. Regular, independent security reviews help you stay ahead of these risks.
What we look at during a mobile app review:
- How the app authenticates and authorises users, and whether those controls can be bypassed.
- Application functions, data flows and technology components.
- Exposure to common attacks like cross-site scripting, SQL injection and other input-validation issues.
- The way data is transmitted and stored, including encryption of credentials and personal details.
- Logical flaws, such as broken access controls and business-logic weaknesses.
- Comparison against industry-recognised standards such as the OWASP Top 10.
We tailor our approach to suit your needs. A black-box assessment simulates an attacker who has no knowledge of the app or its internal workings. A white-box assessment provides our testers with source code or credentials to see what could be achieved with insider knowledge. Our preferred method, grey-box testing, blends both perspectives to give a balanced view of the app’s resilience.
Every mobile app review follows a structured process:
- We meet with you to understand your objectives and the app’s purpose, architecture and technology.
- Our certified consultants perform in-depth, manual testing using recognised techniques.
- We produce a report that clearly explains each issue, the associated risks and practical steps to fix them.
- After the test, we remain available to answer questions and to re-test once you have made changes.
