Description
VAPT – Mobile (Android + iOS)
By Nipto LLP – Cybersecurity & Risk Advisory Specialists
Full Service Description
Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) – Mobile (Android + iOS) is a comprehensive security engagement designed to identify, validate, and demonstrate exploitable vulnerabilities across both Android and iOS mobile applications and their backend integrations.
Nipto LLP delivers independent, risk-based Mobile VAPT services through the Make Audit Easy platform, covering production apps, staging builds, TestFlight releases, APIs, third-party SDKs, and mobile-to-server communication channels.
Our engagement follows a structured, evidence-driven methodology aligned with internationally recognized mobile security standards and best practices, including:
-
OWASP Mobile Top 10
-
OWASP Mobile Application Security Testing Guide (MASTG)
-
National Institute of Standards and Technology SP 800-115
The assessment combines static analysis (APK/IPA review), dynamic runtime testing, and controlled manual penetration techniques to simulate real-world attacker behavior across both platforms.
We evaluate:
-
Insecure local data storage (SharedPreferences, SQLite, Keychain misuse)
-
Weak cryptographic implementation
-
Improper certificate validation & SSL pinning issues
-
Authentication & session management flaws
-
Insecure API communication
-
Reverse engineering exposure
-
Hardcoded secrets & tokens
-
Third-party SDK risks
-
Business logic vulnerabilities
All findings are validated to eliminate false positives and prioritized based on exploitability, business impact, and regulatory exposure.
The engagement concludes with a comprehensive technical report and executive summary, including proof-of-concept evidence and a prioritized remediation roadmap aligned with secure SDLC practices.
