Mobile Application Penetration Testing
Comprehensive security testing for iOS and Android applications. We find the vulnerabilities in your mobile apps before attackers find them in production.
Your Mobile App Is an Attack Surface
Every mobile application your business deploys is a potential entry point for attackers. From insecure data storage and weak authentication to hardcoded API keys and unprotected backend communications, mobile apps carry risks that traditional network pen tests will never catch. Your customers trust you with their data on their most personal devices, and a single vulnerability can expose everything.
Our mobile application penetration testing covers both iOS and Android platforms using the OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS) and the Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES). We go beyond automated scanning to perform manual testing that mimics how a real attacker would reverse-engineer, intercept, and exploit your application.
What We Test
- iOS applications (Swift, Objective-C, hybrid)
- Android applications (Java, Kotlin, hybrid)
- Cross-platform frameworks (React Native, Flutter, Xamarin)
- Backend APIs and server-side components
- Third-party SDKs and library dependencies
- Push notification and deep link handling
OWASP MASVS Testing Coverage
Every engagement maps to the OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard with PTES methodology
Data Storage
Testing for sensitive data in local storage, shared preferences, keychain/keystore misuse, clipboard leaks, and backup extraction.
Authentication
Evaluating biometric bypass, session management, token handling, OAuth flows, and multi-factor authentication implementation.
Network Security
Intercepting API traffic, testing certificate pinning, validating TLS implementation, and checking for data leakage over the wire.
Code & Binary
Reverse engineering, binary analysis, code obfuscation review, anti-tampering checks, and root/jailbreak detection bypass.
Flexible Engagement Models
From a single assessment to continuous lifecycle testing, we adapt to how your development team ships code

Mobile App Security Testing in Dallas-Fort Worth
DFW is home to a growing number of companies building mobile-first products, from healthcare patient portals to fintech payment apps to retail loyalty platforms. These applications handle sensitive customer data on devices you do not control, and a single vulnerability can expose your entire user base. Innovation Network Design is headquartered in McKinney, TX and provides mobile app penetration testing to businesses across Plano, Frisco, Allen, Dallas, Fort Worth, and nationwide.
Healthcare organizations with patient-facing apps need to validate HIPAA technical safeguards on mobile. Financial services firms need PCI DSS mobile payment validation. And any company collecting user data on mobile needs to know if that data is truly protected. We combine mobile app testing with our network penetration testing and managed SOC monitoring for complete coverage across every attack surface.
Both platforms tested in every engagement, including cross-platform frameworks
Flexible engagements from one-time assessments to continuous lifecycle testing
Industry standard methodologies for repeatable, auditable results
Frequently Asked Questions
What is mobile application penetration testing?
Mobile application penetration testing is a security assessment where certified testers attempt to find and exploit vulnerabilities in your iOS or Android app. This includes testing the app binary, its backend API communications, local data storage, authentication flows, and third-party library dependencies. The goal is to find security weaknesses before attackers do.
How long does a mobile app pen test take?
A standard one-time assessment takes about 30 days from scoping to final report delivery. For continuous engagements, we offer quarterly, per-release, and year-long testing programs that align with your development cycle. Apps with complex features, multiple user roles, or heavy backend integrations may require additional time.
Do you test both iOS and Android?
Yes. We test native iOS apps (Swift, Objective-C), native Android apps (Java, Kotlin), and cross-platform frameworks like React Native, Flutter, and Xamarin. Each platform has unique attack vectors and we test both in every dual-platform engagement.
What standards do you follow?
Our mobile testing methodology follows the OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS) for coverage mapping and the Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES) for engagement methodology. This ensures comprehensive, repeatable testing that satisfies compliance and audit requirements.
