  • Response time: instant, no delay. We start same day or next business day after scoping

What is It?

A mobile application security audit is a structured penetration test of your iOS and Android applications covering binary, runtime, API and backend layers. We combine static analysis of APK/IPA binaries with dynamic instrumentation, traffic interception and manual exploitation to find issues that scanners miss.

Codesecure's mobile VAPT is delivered by OSCP and OSWE-certified consultants under signed NDA. Every engagement follows OWASP MASVS L2 and MSTG methodology, with output mapped to OWASP Mobile Top 10 plus your compliance frameworks (RBI, DPDP, HIPAA, PCI DSS where applicable).

Why It Matters

Mobile applications hold sensitive customer data, authentication tokens, payment credentials and biometric material. A successful mobile compromise often gives attackers persistent access to user accounts across web and mobile, and frequently bypasses MFA via accessibility-service abuse or token theft.

For Indian banking, fintech, healthcare and e-commerce, mobile VAPT is no longer optional. RBI guidance for mobile banking apps, IRDAI for insurtech, and enterprise app store review processes (Apple, Google) all increasingly demand demonstrated security testing with documented remediation.

What We Test

Our Methodology

Every engagement follows a 5-phase methodology aligned with PTES, NIST SP 800-115 and OWASP testing guides:

1

Scoping & Reconnaissance

Free scoping call, signed NDA, fixed-price proposal in 24-48 hours. Asset discovery, OSINT, attack surface mapping.

2

Threat Modeling

Targeted threat models against OWASP, MITRE ATT&CK, your specific business logic and applicable compliance frameworks.

3

Automated & Manual Testing

Static analysis of APK/IPA, dynamic instrumentation (Frida, Objection), traffic interception (Burp Suite), and manual exploitation by OSCP/OSWE-certified consultants. Real exploit evidence, not just scanner output.

4

Reporting & Walkthrough

Executive summary plus technical report mapped to OWASP, CVSS v3.1 and your compliance frameworks. Live walkthrough with your engineering team.

5

Retest & Sign-Off

Free retest of all critical and high findings within 30 days. Formal sign-off letter and certificate. Customer data deleted 90 days after sign-off.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is a Mobile App Security Audit important?

Mobile apps hold authentication tokens, payment credentials and PII. A successful compromise often gives persistent account access and bypasses MFA. Regulators (RBI, IRDAI) increasingly demand documented mobile VAPT for financial apps.

Do you test both Android and iOS in one engagement?

Yes, both platforms in a single fixed-price engagement. Coverage depth on each platform depends on scope; we recommend covering both with equivalent depth for apps with parity feature sets.

How long does a typical mobile engagement take?

Most mobile apps complete in 1-2 weeks total. Simple apps with limited features finish in 5-7 days; complex apps with extensive backend APIs may take 2 weeks. We respond instantly with no delay, so testing typically starts the same day or next business day after scoping.

What does it cost in INR?

Pricing starts from INR 25,000 and varies based on platform count (Android only, iOS only or both), feature complexity and backend API count. We commit to a fixed price after a free 30-minute scoping call.

How quickly can you start?

Instant response, no delay. We typically respond within an hour during business hours, send a fixed-price proposal within 24-48 hours under signed NDA, and start active testing same/next business day after sign-off.

Do you test against production or a separate environment?

We test against either a pre-production build or production carefully, depending on scope. Most engagements use a dedicated debug-or-release build with backend pointing to staging APIs to avoid affecting real users.

Is my source code required for the audit?

Not required, but helpful. We perform full black-box testing without source. With source code (gray-box), we find more business logic issues in the same time. With reverse engineering, we always derive structural information from APK/IPA even without source.
