Android & iOS Security Assessment — Deep, Manual, Comprehensive

Mobile applications handle some of the most sensitive corporate and personal data in existence — banking credentials, biometric data, location history, corporate communications, and payment information. Yet mobile security is routinely under-assessed compared to web applications, creating significant blind spots in enterprise security programmes.

Pristine InfoSolutions UAE conducts comprehensive mobile application security assessments aligned to the OWASP Mobile Security Testing Guide (MSTG) and OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS) — covering both Android and iOS platforms through a combination of static analysis, dynamic testing, network traffic inspection, and reverse engineering.

• ✓
  Static Analysis (SAST)Decompile and analyse APK/IPA binaries for hardcoded secrets, API keys, insecure cryptography, exposed sensitive data, overly permissive code, and dangerous function usage without running the application.
• ✓
  Dynamic Analysis (DAST)Runtime testing on real devices and emulators — intercepting and manipulating traffic, testing runtime protections (SSL pinning, root/jailbreak detection), analysing runtime behaviour and memory usage.
• ✓
  Local Data Storage SecurityAssess how the application stores sensitive data locally — SharedPreferences, SQLite databases, Keychain/Keystore usage, log files, temporary files, and backup data exposure on Android and iOS.
• ✓
  Network Communication SecurityFull interception and analysis of all network traffic — TLS validation, certificate pinning bypass testing, API key exposure, sensitive data in transit, HTTP vs HTTPS enforcement.
• ✓
  Authentication & Session HandlingTesting of biometric authentication, OAuth/OIDC implementations, token storage security, session timeout enforcement, logout completeness, and insecure direct object references in API calls.
• ✓
  Reverse Engineering & Tampering ResistanceAssess the application's resilience to reverse engineering, binary patching, instrumentation (Frida, Objection), and runtime tampering — critical for financial, healthcare, and DRM-protected applications.
