Mobile App Security

Mobile App Penetration Testing Services

Bugstrix performs manual, OWASP-aligned penetration testing to identify exploitable weaknesses in iOS and Android apps, APIs, authentication, data storage, and business logic.

Expert Mobile App Security Testing

Bugstrix testers assess iOS and Android apps, supporting APIs, local data storage, authentication, and business logic, then provide risk-rated findings and practical remediation guidance.

Start Assessment

Mobile App Attack Vectors We Test

Insecure Data

Insecure Data Storage

Sensitive data stored unencrypted on devices, exposing credentials and personal user information to attackers.

Auth Bypass

Broken Authentication

Weak authentication mechanisms exploited to hijack accounts and gain unauthorized access to mobile apps.

Network Attack

Insecure Communication

Unencrypted data transmitted over networks intercepted by attackers through man-in-the-middle attacks.

Code Tampering

Reverse Engineering

Attackers decompile and analyze mobile app code to extract sensitive logic, keys, and vulnerabilities.

API Attack

Insecure API Endpoints

Poorly secured APIs exploited to access sensitive backend data and manipulate mobile app functionality.

Session Attack

Improper Session Management

Weak session tokens and management flaws exploited to hijack active user sessions and steal data.

Why Mobile App Pen Testing Matters

Mobile apps can expose sensitive data, APIs, authentication, and business logic to attackers. Penetration testing helps identify and validate exploitable weaknesses before they are abused.

Mobile app penetration testing can support HIPAA, PCI DSS, and GDPR security requirements, but compliance depends on the full scope of controls, remediation, and assessor review.

A compromised mobile app can damage customer trust and brand reputation. Proactive penetration testing helps reduce risk and protect sensitive user data.

Why Choose Us

About Bugstrix

Bugstrix penetration testers use OWASP-aligned testing and relevant NIST guidance to identify exploitable weaknesses in iOS and Android apps. You receive prioritized findings and remediation guidance that support your security and applicable GDPR objectives.

Our Mobile App Pen Testing Approach

01

Reconnaissance

We gather intelligence on the mobile app architecture, supporting APIs, backend services, and technology stack to map the application attack surface and identify higher-risk entry points.

02

Threat Modeling

We identify and prioritize potential attack vectors and higher-risk areas using OWASP Mobile Top 10 guidance, application architecture, business impact, and relevant mobile threat intelligence.

03

Static Analysis

We analyze source code where available and review decompiled application binaries to identify insecure coding patterns, hardcoded secrets, client-side weaknesses, and sensitive-data exposure.

04

Dynamic Testing

We safely test the running mobile application and supporting APIs to identify runtime vulnerabilities, insecure communications, authentication and session weaknesses, and API security flaws.

05

Exploitation

Where authorized, our testers safely validate selected vulnerabilities to assess real-world impact and exploitability, with proof-of-concept evidence where appropriate.

06

Reporting & Fixes

Detailed vulnerability reports include risk-rated findings, CVSS scores, actionable remediation guidance, and free re-testing until reported vulnerabilities are verified as resolved.

What Our Clients Say

Great partner for vulnerabilities and bugs issues. We have been working with Bugstrix since 2021 and they have greatly helped us upgrade our website safety. Bugstrix is definitely a trustworthy partner for everything related to bugs and vulnerabilities.

They found bugs we wouldn’t have found otherwise and guided us through fixing them. Bugstrix knows what they’re doing.

Bugstrix penetration testing uncovered critical vulnerabilities our internal team completely missed. Their detailed reports and remediation guidance helped us achieve PCI-DSS compliance on time. Highly professional, thorough, and worth every penny.

Frequently Asked Questions

Bugstrix tests iOS and Android applications, including native and hybrid apps and supporting APIs, across agreed OS versions, devices, and test environments.
Depending on the complexity and size of your mobile application, a thorough mobile app penetration test typically takes between 5 to 10 business days to complete accurately.
Testing is planned to minimize risk and disruption. We agree the scope, testing window, rate limits, test accounts, escalation contacts, and prohibited actions before testing begins. High-risk tests are performed only with approval and may be moved to a staging environment.
You receive a comprehensive mobile app penetration testing report including an executive summary, risk-rated vulnerability findings, proof-of-concept evidence, CVSS severity scores, and prioritized step-by-step remediation guidance.
Mobile app penetration testing should be performed at least annually and after major releases, changes to authentication or APIs, or sensitive-data flows. Fast-changing or regulated apps may need more frequent testing based on risk.
