Android & iOS Mobile Application Security Testing

The Problem

Mobile apps ship secrets, weak storage, and insecure APIs that attackers reverse-engineer at leisure. App-store approval is not a security review.

Android & iOS Vulnerability Assessment

Praxis-Q conducts end-to-end penetration testing across both Android APK and iOS IPA binaries. Our methodology includes decompilation, bytecode analysis, and dynamic instrumentation to uncover hardcoded secrets, insecure storage mechanisms, and improper cryptographic implementations. We simulate real-world attack scenarios including jailbreak/root detection bypasses, man-in-the-middle traffic interception, and reverse-engineering attempts. Each test accounts for platform-specific vulnerabilities—Android manifest misconfigurations, iOS KeyChain weaknesses, and unsafe third-party library integrations. Our team delivers platform-native expertise with proven experience across Fortune 500 apps.

OWASP MASVS Framework Alignment

Our assessments strictly follow OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS), the global benchmark for mobile app security requirements. We evaluate all eight critical domains: storage, cryptography, authentication, network communication, platform interaction, resilience, and code quality. This framework-driven approach ensures your mobile app meets industry expectations and regulatory mandates across GDPR, HIPAA, and RBI guidelines. Compliance-ready reporting connects findings directly to MASVS levels, facilitating developer remediation and audit trail documentation for stakeholders and compliance officers.

Static + Dynamic Analysis & Runtime Testing

Praxis-Q combines complementary testing methodologies to maximize vulnerability detection. Static analysis deconstructs app binaries for architectural flaws and code-level defects without execution. Dynamic analysis monitors runtime behavior—API calls, data flows, memory states—using advanced hooking and instrumentation frameworks. Traffic interception testing validates encryption strength and protocol compliance. Our blended approach captures vulnerabilities invisible to single-method testing, delivering 360-degree security visibility with comprehensive evidence supporting each finding.

5-7 Day Fast-Track Delivery & Expert Reporting

Praxis-Q's India-headquartered team accelerates your security timeline without compromising rigor. Our 5-7 day fast-track delivery leverages distributed expertise and pre-configured lab environments. Reports include vulnerability severity ratings, business impact assessment, proof-of-concept demonstrations, and detailed remediation guidance mapped to developer roadmaps. Executive summaries empower C-suite stakeholders; technical annexes support engineering teams. Remediation support and re-testing options ensure your app achieves security maturity before production release or app-store submission.

Compliance & Risk Mitigation

Mobile app vulnerabilities create regulatory exposure under ISO 27001, PCI-DSS (payment apps), HIPAA (healthcare), and data protection laws including GDPR and DPDP Act. Praxis-Q's assessments generate compliance evidence suitable for auditors and regulators. We identify business logic flaws affecting fraud prevention, user privacy, and data integrity. Our findings strengthen your security posture, reduce breach risk, and support continuous compliance monitoring through ongoing vCISO guidance and threat intelligence integration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is OWASP MASVS?
OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS) is the industry standard for mobile app security requirements, covering storage, cryptography, authentication, network, and resilience.
Do you test both Android APK and iOS IPA?
Yes. We test both Android APK and iOS IPA files. For iOS, we test both jailbroken and non-jailbroken scenarios.
What is OWASP MASVS and why does it matter for my mobile app?
OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS) is the industry-recognized benchmark for mobile app security requirements. It covers eight domains: storage, cryptography, authentication, network, platform interaction, resilience, and code quality. MASVS ensures your app meets global security expectations, supports regulatory compliance (GDPR, HIPAA, RBI), and reduces breach likelihood. Praxis-Q's testing is MASVS-aligned, providing audit-ready evidence of security maturity.
Do you test both Android APK and iOS IPA applications?
Yes. Praxis-Q tests both Android APK and iOS IPA binaries comprehensively. For Android, we analyze manifest configurations, native libraries, and DEX bytecode. For iOS, we test both jailbroken and non-jailbroken scenarios, evaluate Keychain implementations, and verify code signing integrity. Our platform-native expertise ensures no vulnerability escapes, regardless of OS-specific security mechanisms.
How does static analysis differ from dynamic analysis in mobile penetration testing?
Static analysis deconstructs app binaries without execution, revealing hardcoded secrets, insecure code patterns, and architectural flaws through decompilation and bytecode inspection. Dynamic analysis monitors runtime behavior—API calls, memory access, encryption operations—using instrumentation frameworks. Praxis-Q combines both methods to capture vulnerabilities invisible to single approaches, delivering comprehensive security coverage with actionable remediation.
What vulnerabilities does mobile app penetration testing typically uncover?
Common findings include insecure local storage, weak authentication/authorization, unencrypted API communication, hardcoded credentials, unsafe third-party libraries, business logic flaws, jailbreak/root detection bypasses, and reverse-engineering risks. Praxis-Q's OWASP MASVS-aligned methodology systematically identifies each vulnerability class with severity ratings, business impact assessment, and step-by-step remediation guidance suitable for your development team.
How quickly can Praxis-Q deliver mobile app penetration testing results?
Our fast-track USP delivers comprehensive assessments in 5-7 business days, leveraging India headquarters expertise and pre-configured lab environments. Expedited delivery does not compromise rigor; our team maintains high standards across static analysis, dynamic testing, and business logic evaluation. Reports include executive summaries, technical findings, and remediation prioritization enabling immediate action before app-store submission or production release.
How does mobile app testing support compliance frameworks like GDPR, HIPAA, and ISO 27001?
Mobile app vulnerabilities create regulatory exposure under GDPR, HIPAA, RBI SAR, ISO 27001, and DPDP Act. Praxis-Q's assessments generate compliance evidence documenting security controls, vulnerability remediation, and data protection measures. Our findings support audit preparation, risk management documentation, and regulatory submissions. Ongoing vCISO guidance ensures continuous compliance monitoring and threat-informed security posture refinement aligned with evolving regulatory expectations.
