Mobile Application Penetration Testing

Identify real security risks in your iOS and Android applications before attackers do.

We combine deep manual penetration testing, industry-standard methodologies, and AI-assisted analysis to uncover vulnerabilities that automated tools miss - helping you secure your app and meet compliance requirements.

When is mobile app pentesting essential?

Before product release
Validate your application security prior to launch and reduce the risk of vulnerabilities being exposed to real users.
For compliance and audits
Required for standards such as PCI DSS, GDPR, SOC 2, and increasingly expected under modern regulations like DORA and EU CRA.
After major changes
Ensure new features, integrations, or backend changes have not introduced new attack vectors.

What we assess in mobile applications

Our testing is based on OWASP Mobile Top 10 and OWASP Mobile Application Security Testing Guide (MASTG), covering both client-side and backend risks:

  • Authentication & session management flaws (e.g. weak tokens, session hijacking)
  • Insecure data storage (sensitive data stored in plaintext or insecure containers)
  • API and backend vulnerabilities (broken access control, IDOR, injection flaws)
  • Improper encryption usage (weak algorithms, hardcoded keys)
  • Business logic vulnerabilities (bypassing workflows, abuse of app functionality)
  • Reverse engineering risks (exposed secrets, lack of code obfuscation)
  • Platform-specific issues (iOS Keychain misuse, Android intents vulnerabilities)

We also simulate real-world attack scenarios, including attacker interaction with APIs and backend services.

How we perform mobile security assessments

1. Scoping & Threat Modelling

We define targets, data flows, and potential attack surfaces, aligning the testing approach with your business risks.

2. In-depth Security Testing

Our team performs predominantly manual testing, guided by frameworks such as OWASP MASTG supported by automated tools and AI-assisted analysis for efficiency and coverage.

3. Validation & Reporting

All findings are validated, prioritised by risk, and translated into clear, actionable recommendations.

What our customers say

We were very impressed with the skills and knowledge of Dhound security experts, as well as how effectively they built communication with everyone, and how they made the whole penetration testing process very simple and clear for us.

uxpressiaYuri Vedenin, Founder at UXPressia

We enjoyed working with Denis. He's a true professional. The collaboration gave us a lot including a system audit and PHP vulnerability check-up. Dhound also helped us with management issues. For example, now we have regular security checklist sessions and manage our risks.

Happy with the service and the report, it was great and from my understanding we've already taken action on some of the previously dismissed items you shed the light on. All staff I have dealt with were very helpful.
