How often should Mobile Application Penetration Testing be conducted?

We recommend testing your mobile app at least once a year or after significant updates.

Does the service include testing for both Android and iOS platforms?

Yes, our penetration testing service covers both Android and iOS applications.

Is re-testing included after vulnerabilities are fixed?

Yes, we offer free re-testing within six weeks to ensure vulnerabilities are fully resolved.

Why is Mobile Application Penetration Testing important?

It helps prevent data breaches, ensures compliance with security standards, and builds user trust by safeguarding their data.

Who conducts the Mobile Application Penetration Testing?

Our team of certified cybersecurity professionals with extensive experience in mobile app development and security.

How much does a mobile app penetration test cost?

Pricing depends on the platforms in scope and the complexity of the app and its backend. Testing both iOS and Android together is more economical than separately, and we provide a fixed quote after a free scoping call.

Do you need our source code to test the app?

No. We can test exactly what an attacker sees using the released app alone. That said, providing source code allows deeper coverage in the same time, so many clients choose a combined approach.

Mobile Application Penetration Testing

Ensuring Security on the Go

In today’s mobile-first world, securing your mobile applications is paramount. At Xium Labs, we specialise in identifying vulnerabilities in your mobile apps, helping you protect sensitive data and user privacy. Our Mobile Application Penetration Testing service uncovers potential risks, ensuring that your mobile app is resilient against cyber threats.

What is Mobile Application Penetration Testing?

Mobile Application Penetration Testing involves simulating real-world cyberattacks on mobile apps to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers. Our security experts mimic hacker tactics to analyse your mobile app's weaknesses, ensuring your mobile app can withstand sophisticated attacks.

Who Needs Mobile Application Penetration Testing?

Any organisation shipping an iOS or Android app that handles accounts, payments or personal data should test it before attackers do. Mobile apps carry risks that web testing never touches: data cached on lost or stolen devices, weaknesses in biometric and PIN flows, insecure communication over hostile networks and secrets embedded in the app package itself. Testing matters most before first release, after changes to authentication or payment journeys, and annually for apps in active use.

What You Receive

Each mobile engagement produces:

Findings across both the app binary and the backend APIs it depends on.
Severity ratings, proof of exploitation and reproduction steps for every issue.
Remediation guidance specific to iOS and Android platforms.
A debrief call with your developers, plus a free re-test within six weeks.

Standards and Compliance

Testing follows the OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS) and its testing guide, giving you defensible, repeatable coverage rather than a tool scan. Reports support PCI DSS where payments are in scope, UK GDPR Article 32 security-of-processing requirements, and the app store and enterprise security reviews that increasingly gate distribution.

Common Mobile Application Vulnerabilities

Insecure Data Storage

Exposure of sensitive data due to weak encryption or no encryption.

Weak Authentication

Inadequate mechanisms for verifying users, leading to unauthorised access

Insecure Communication

Unencrypted data transmissions that can be intercepted by attackers.

Code Injection

Attackers inserting malicious code to exploit app functionality.

Improper Session Handling

Vulnerabilities related to session management that can lead to hijacked accounts.

How Does Mobile Application Pen Testing Work?

Our certified penetration testers perform both manual and automated testing on your mobile application to uncover vulnerabilities that automated scanners might miss. We test against globally recognised standards like OWASP Mobile Top 10, ensuring that your app is secure against a wide array of attacks.

Planning:Understand your app’s architecture and its security requirements.
Threat Modelling:Identify potential threats based on the app’s use cases and data flow
Testing: Simulate real-world attacks to assess app security.
Reporting: Provide detailed reports with actionable insights.
Remediation Support: Help your team implement security fixes and improvements.
