Peneto Labs: Penetration Testing Services

Mobile Application Penetration Testing

Secure your Android & iOS apps before attackers find a way in. At Peneto Labs, we test your mobile apps like real-world adversaries, discovering vulnerabilities missed by automated tools. 

We Understand the Security Challenges of Mobile Apps

Mobile apps are complex — and attackers know it. From insecure data storage to reverse engineering and weak API protections, the risks are real and evolving.

At Peneto Labs, we’ve helped leading FinTech, HealthTech, and SaaS companies protect millions of mobile users by uncovering hidden vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them. Our team holds top-tier certifications like OSCE, GAWN, OSCP, and GIAC, and brings deep experience in mobile architecture, reverse engineering, and threat modeling.

What We Test in Your Mobile App

We go far beyond simple scanner checks. Our mobile app security assessments simulate real-world attacks — from both user and attacker perspectives — to uncover technical and logical flaws across Android, iOS, and hybrid apps.

Insecure Data Storage

Reverse Engineering & Code Tampering

Authentication & Session Management

API Transport Layer Security

Runtime Manipulation & Hooking

Insecure Local Databases

Root/Jailbreak Detection Bypass

Hardcoded Secrets & Credentials

Reverse Engineering & Code Tampering

Testing is done on both pre-production and published apps — including APK/IPA analysis, dynamic instrumentation, and backend API interaction.

Process

How It Works

01

Scoping Call

We understand your mobile architecture, goals, and test environment — and define a clear test scope.

02

Assessment & Reporting

We perform manual & automated testing, uncover vulnerabilities, and deliver a detailed, prioritized report.

Frequently Asked Questions

At Peneto Labs, we follow industry-recognized methodologies to ensure thorough and reliable mobile app security testing. Our approach is based on the OWASP Mobile Top 10 framework, which focuses on identifying the most common and impactful security risks specific to mobile platforms. 

We also integrate elements of the Mobile Application Security Testing Guide (MASTG) and follow PTES and NIST standards to maintain consistency and technical depth. This ensures that both Android and iOS applications are evaluated for issues related to code, storage, communication, authentication, and platform misuse.

Yes, mobile application penetration testing helps you meet the security and technical control requirements of many global and industry-specific compliance frameworks. 

Whether you need to comply with PCI-DSS for mobile payment apps, HIPAA for healthcare applications, ISO 27001 for general information security, or GDPR for data protection, our tests are designed to align with these standards. The final deliverables include detailed vulnerability reports and remediation steps that can serve as compliance evidence during audits or risk assessments.

The cost of mobile app penetration testing depends on several factors including the complexity of the application, the number of user roles, the platform (Android, iOS, or both), third-party integrations, and whether the backend APIs need to be tested. 

A simple mobile app might cost less, while more complex apps with backend services or advanced security features can require a larger scope and budget. At Peneto Labs, we provide a customized quote after an initial scoping discussion to ensure you receive the most accurate and cost-effective solution for your specific application.

It is recommended to perform mobile application penetration testing at least once a year or every time significant changes are made to the app. This includes adding new features, modifying authentication flows, integrating with external services, or releasing major updates. 

Regular testing helps identify new vulnerabilities that may arise from code changes, evolving threats, or updates to the mobile operating system. Ongoing testing ensures that your app remains secure over time and resilient to the latest attack vectors.

Our mobile application penetration tests identify a wide range of vulnerabilities that could compromise the security of the app and user data. This includes insecure data storage, improper platform usage, weak encryption, inadequate authentication and session management, exposed API keys, reverse engineering risks, insecure communication channels, and flaws in business logic. We also test for vulnerabilities that allow privilege escalation, data leakage, and unauthorized access to sensitive functionality or files.

The time required to complete a mobile application penetration test depends on the scope and complexity of the app. A standard mobile app may take around five to seven business days to test, while more advanced or multi-platform applications can take up to two or three weeks. 

This includes time for planning, static and dynamic analysis, manual testing, vulnerability verification, and final reporting. We provide a clear timeline once we understand the application’s structure and testing goals.

Yes, the testing process is carefully designed to avoid disruption to your production environment or live users. At Peneto Labs, we conduct testing in isolated or staging environments whenever possible. 

If live testing is necessary, we coordinate closely with your team to ensure tests are performed safely, without causing downtime or affecting performance. Our testers follow responsible disclosure and ethical hacking practices to ensure your systems and data remain secure throughout the engagement.

After the penetration test is completed, you will receive a detailed report that outlines the identified vulnerabilities, their risk levels, technical impact, and recommended remediation steps. 

The report also includes an executive summary tailored for stakeholders and a section dedicated to compliance mapping if needed. We offer a debriefing session where our experts walk you through the findings and answer any questions your development or security teams may have. We also provide retesting support to confirm that all fixes have been successfully applied.

 The cost of mobile application penetration testing depends on factors like app complexity, number of screens, APIs integrated, and whether you're testing for Android, iOS, or both. Testing a single-platform app is generally more affordable than a dual-platform assessment. At Peneto Labs, we offer flexible pricing models based on scope and provide tailored quotes after understanding your requirements.
