Mobile Application Security Assessment
We run in-depth manual and dynamic analyses of Android/iOS devices and apps, guided by OWASP testing methodologies. Our zero-, partial-, or full knowledge assessments use industry-standard and internally developed tools in conjunction with expert-guided testing techniques to locate and validate mobile application security deficiencies.

Mobile Application Security Assessment
WE ATTACK MOBILE APPS THE WAY BAD GUYS DO TO STRENGTHEN YOUR SECURITY.
A Mobile Application Assessment (MAA) provides in-depth manual and dynamic (run-time) analyses of Android/iOS devices and applications, irrespective of source-code availability, following the OWASP Mobile Security Testing Guide (MSTG) and OWASP Mobile Application Verification Standard (MASVS) methodologies. Using the same tools and techniques as real attackers in addition to our own, we'll test your mobile applications for the OWASP Top 10 Mobile Risks.
When conducting an Mobile Application Assessment as a Hybrid Application Assessment (HAA), we'll leverage the source code provided to validate and locate vulnerabilities. If source code isn't available, the team will attempt to reverse engineer the application’s binary to partially reconstruct an application’s source code and attempt to identify security vulnerabilities.
Mobile Application Security Assessment highlights:
- Deeper than a penetration test: Our methodology uses both binary and file-level analysis to find hard-to-discover vulnerabilities, going far deeper than a typical penetration test.
- OWASP Top 10: We test for Improper Platform Usage, Insecure Data Storage, Insecure Communication, Insecure Authentication, Insufficient Cryptography, Insecure Authorization, Client Code Quality, Code Tampering, Reverse Engineering, and Extraneous Functionality.
- API security: Our team also inspects the application’s API and dynamically instruments the application’s binary to identify issues in the business logic.

Key Benefits
GAIN EXPERT VISIBILITY INTO MOBILE RISKS SO YOU CAN KEEP DATA PRIVATE AND SECURE.
Mobile applications handle your most sensitive data and connect directly to your customers. Yet many organizations struggle to understand the unique security risks these platforms present. Our comprehensive mobile application penetration testing services provide the expert analysis and actionable insights you need to protect your business-critical mobile assets.
Assessment is the first step to securing your mobile application environments.
Our team of experienced consultants put the full spectrum of your application under the microscope, performing runtime patches, network interception, filesystem storage, device keystore storage, binary reverse engineering, and server-side testing.
We’re your partner in supporting your governance and compliance programs.
Many regulatory requirements and internal policies mandate manual testing of your mission-critical apps. With deep expertise in mobile platforms, we’ve got you covered.
Identify difficult-to-find vulnerabilities
By combining binary and file-level analysis, we identify difficult-to-find vulnerabilities. Notably, we test for the OWASP Top 10 Mobile Risks including Improper Platform Usage, Insecure Data Storage, Insecure Communication, Insecure Authentication, and more.
Benefit from Enhanced Testing Efficiency Through Virtualization
Our team uses advanced technology to create and use virtual devices when conducting our assessments. Our approach is highly efficient – maximizing testing time rather than configuring and managing physical mobile devices.
We go beyond testing communications and a mobile app’s artifacts.
We’ll also reverse engineer an application’s binary to find and exploit high severity security issues. Plus, we test the application’s API and dynamically instrument the binary to identify issues in the application’s business logic.
Multi-Disciplinary Mobile AI Security Team
It’s hard to find expertise in mobile security because the technology is always evolving. Our team’s experience comes from a variety of fronts, from mobile developers to security consultants and vulnerability researchers. We see your apps from all sides.
Our high-quality reporting goes above and beyond static risk ratings and generic scoreboards.
In addition to being fully customized to your application, your organization, and your desired outcomes, our reports offer actionable security guidance.

MEET OUR FEATURED SECURITY CONSULTANT
Sebastian Guerrero
Sebastian Guerrero is a Senior Security Consultant at Bishop Fox, where his areas of expertise include mobile and web application penetration testing (both static and dynamic analysis), network penetration testing, and comprehensive product security reviews.
Sebastian has demonstrated critical impact during client engagements across multiple industries. While performing application penetration testing on an acquisition for a major automobile manufacturer, he discovered numerous SQL injection vulnerabilities in the company's main portals, through which an attacker could gain total control over the database management system, access sensitive information, and obtain remote code execution over the server. Over the course of the engagement, Sebastian also determined that the acquired company had experienced undetected breaches spanning two to three years.
His research and expertise have been showcased at premier security conferences including Black Hat Asia, RSA Conference, and RootedCON. Sebastian's vulnerability research contributions are recognized in the bug bounty halls of fame for major technology organizations including Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Instagram, Mozilla, Adobe, Pinterest, and eBay.
