Do you test the app's backend too?

Yes. Mobile findings often live on the server, so we test the backend APIs (REST/GraphQL) for OWASP API Top 10 issues like BOLA and BFLA alongside the app.

Do you bypass jailbreak/root and pinning detection?

Yes. Our testers reverse-engineer and attempt to bypass anti-tampering, root/jailbreak detection and certificate pinning to assess real-world resistance.

How do you guarantee zero false positives?

Every finding is manually verified by a senior tester before reporting, backed by a contractual zero false positives SLA with a money-back guarantee.

Why Mobile Penetration Testing Is a Business Revenue Lever

Your mobile app holds tokens, payment data and personal information on devices you don't control — and a single insecure-storage or auth flaw can leak it all, breach app-store privacy rules and stall enterprise deals. Treating mobile pentesting as a revenue enabler, not a compliance tax, protects your store rating, your data and your sales pipeline.

Comparison matrix:

With an ImmuniWeb Mobile Pentest

App-store privacy and security expectations met before release
Insecure storage and backend flaws caught pre-production
Predictable fixed fee with zero false positives to triage
Compliance evidence for PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR and DORA
One report covering app + backend APIs

Without Mobile Penetration Testing

Rejections, takedowns or reputation damage post-launch
Tokens and PII exposed on lost or rooted devices
Hidden cost of breach response, fines and churn
Failed audits and blocked enterprise procurement
Blind spots between mobile and server teams

Automated Mobile Scanning vs Manual Penetration Testing

	Automated Scanning	Manual Penetration Testing
Duration	Minutes per build	A few days per release or audit
Cost	Low, subscription-based	Higher, project-based fixed fee
Scope	Static signatures, known patterns	Reverse engineering, runtime abuse, backend exploitation
Best For	Every build / quick regression	Audits, compliance, high-risk and pre-launch apps
Report	Automated findings list	Validated, manually exploited, remediation-ready report

Recommendation: Automated mobile scanning is great for fast feedback on every build. But for audits and sensitive apps, manual testing is mandatory — only a human can reverse-engineer defenses, bypass jailbreak/root detection and chain app-plus-backend flaws into a real exploit. ImmuniWeb® MobileSuite combines both.

Comprehensive Mobile App Testing Scope

We test the full mobile attack surface — client, communication and backend. Upload your iOS or Android build and we cover four dimensions:

Client-Side & Binary Protection

Reverse engineering and code/binary hardening review
Jailbreak/root and anti-tampering detection bypass
Insecure local data storage (keychain, SQLite, files)
Hardcoded secrets, keys and debug artifacts

Authentication, Session & Privacy

Authentication, biometric and session-handling testing
Token storage, reuse and revocation
Excessive permissions and privacy-control review
PII handling vs platform privacy requirements

Communication & Cryptography

TLS validation and certificate-pinning bypass
Man-in-the-middle and traffic interception
Weak or custom cryptography review
Sensitive data leakage over the network

Backend, APIs & Standards

Backend API testing (REST/GraphQL) for OWASP API Top 10
Server-side authorization (BOLA/BFLA)
Business-logic abuse across app and server
Alignment with OWASP Mobile Top 10 and SANS Top 25

OWASP Mobile Top 10 (2024) Vulnerability Mapping

M1 Improper Credential Usage

We hunt hardcoded and mishandled credentials in the app and traffic.

M2 Inadequate Supply Chain Security

We assess third-party SDKs and libraries for known risks.

M3 Insecure Authentication/Authorization

We attack login, session and server-side authorization.

M4 Insufficient Input/Output Validation

We probe injection and unsafe handling of untrusted data.

M5 Insecure Communication

We test TLS, certificate pinning and MitM resistance.

M6 Inadequate Privacy Controls

We review PII collection, storage and exposure.

M7 Insufficient Binary Protections

We review platform settings, permissions and defaults.

M8 Security Misconfiguration

We detect data over-exposed by APIs.

M9 Insecure Data Storage

We inspect keychain, databases and files for exposed data.

M10 Insufficient Cryptography

We assess key management and cryptographic implementation.

The 6-Phase Mobile Pentest Workflow & Kill Chain

Scoping & Build Onboarding

We agree scope and ingest your iOS/Android build and test accounts. Artifact: a scoping document and rules of engagement.

Phase 1

Phase 2

Static Analysis & Reconnaissance

We decompile and map the app, secrets and endpoints. Artifact: a static-analysis and attack-surface summary.

Automated Scanning & Validation

Our AI engine scans the build and analysts validate findings. Artifact: a verified, false-positive-free shortlist.

Phase 3

Phase 4

Dynamic & Backend Exploitation

Testers bypass defenses and chain app-plus-backend flaws. Artifact: code-level remediation hints with proof-of-concept.

Audit-Ready Reporting & Debrief

You receive a board- and auditor-ready report plus a debrief. Artifact: report mapped to OWASP Mobile and compliance.

Phase 5

Phase 6

Retesting & Compliance Certification

We re-verify fixes with free unlimited retesting. Artifact: a signed compliance / VAPT certificate.

Shift-Left Security: DevSecOps & Mobile CI/CD Automation

Catch mobile flaws before they reach the store. Set policy thresholds and vulnerable builds are blocked from deployment automatically — no manual review, no merge of insecure code. ImmuniWeb plugs natively into GitHub Actions, GitLab CI and Jenkins, turning every pipeline into an automated security gate, so developers get fast, actionable feedback inside the tools they already use.

Industry-Specific Mobile Threat Modeling

Mobile risk is not one-size-fits-all. We tailor the threat model to your sector:

Mobile Banking & FinTech

Anti-fraud, secure storage and transaction-integrity testing aligned with PSD2 and PCI DSS, plus jailbreak/root resistance.

HealthTech & Telehealth

PHI privacy and consent-flow testing aligned with HIPAA and GDPR across the app and its medical APIs.

Retail & Consumer Apps

Account-takeover, loyalty-abuse and payment-token testing to protect revenue and brand reputation.
