What is Mobile Application Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing (VAPT)?
Penetration testing for mobile applications helps find vulnerabilities in an Android or iOS application’s cybersecurity posture. It is the practice of examining mobile apps to find, classify, and fix vulnerabilities before they are maliciously exploited.
It helps tighten the security levels for sensitive data and different app functions to provide a well-protected app that protects users and admins alike. Code, architecture, data storage, network connectivity, and authentication methods are all tested throughout this procedure.
Why is Mobile Application VAPT important?
There are multiple benefits of getting mobile application VAPT done for your mobile Applications. Some of the most important are listed below.
Early Detection
Early Identifying of vulnerabilities allows organizations to identify and address security threats before they escalate into significant breaches.
Data Protection
It safeguards user data from potential breaches and unauthorized access.
Regulatory Compliance
It ensures adherence to data protection regulations (GDRP, HIPAA, etc) and industry standards.
Avoid Legal and reputational repercussions
Mobile pentest helps your app comply with relevant regulations reducing the risk of hefty fines and legal and reputational repercussions.

Understand the mobile application testing scope, functionalities, architecture and procure the necessary data like test login credentials, etc.
STEP 2Threat Modelling
Identify potential attack vectors and scenarios specific to the mobile application.
STEP 3Vulnerability Assessment
Employ automated scanning tools and manual analysis techniques to identify vulnerabilities in the mobile application.
STEP 4Penetration Testing & Exploitation
Simulate real-world attacks attempting to exploit vulnerabilities to understand their impacts and potential risks.
STEP 5Reporting & Recommendations
Provide a detailed report outlining identified vulnerabilities, their impacts along with the necessary remediation steps to be taken.
STEP 6Remediation
Development teams to address vulnerabilities based on the provided recommendations to improve the mobile application security posture.
STEP 7Re-assessment
Conduct a VAPT re-evaluation to ensure that vulnerabilities have been effectively addressed.
STEP 8Final Report
Deliver a final comprehensive report detailing the assessment findings & actions taken.
Some of the Tools that we use to Conduct Mobile Application VAPT
FAQ’s
Mobile Application VAPT is usually performed on pre-production/test environments.
Mobile apps can have risks like not storing data securely, weak logins, no rate limit checks, unsafe data transmission, etc.
Automated tools help, but they can't catch everything.
Manual testing by experts is also needed to find tricky problems that automatic tools might miss. This is where we come in.
We do extensive automated + manual VAPT of your mobile application leaving no stone unturned.
It is recommended to perform VAPT regularly, like every time you update your app.
