What is Mobile Application Penetration Testing?
Mobile Application Penetration Testing is a comprehensive security assessment of iOS and Android applications designed to identify vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by attackers. It evaluates how securely your application handles authentication, sensitive data, API communication, session management and user interactions.
Our Mobile Application Penetration Testing Australia service combines manual security testing with industry best practices, including the OWASP Mobile Application Security Testing Guide (MASTG) and the OWASP Mobile Top 10. Our experienced security consultants simulate real-world attack techniques to uncover vulnerabilities that automated scanners often overlook, providing practical remediation recommendations to help you build more secure mobile applications.
Why Mobile Application Penetration Testing Matters

Frequently asked questions about Penetration Testing
What is Mobile Application Penetration Testing?
Mobile Application Penetration Testing is a security assessment that identifies vulnerabilities in iOS and Android applications before they can be exploited. It helps improve application security, protect sensitive data and reduce cyber risk.
What types of mobile applications do you test?
We assess native, hybrid and cross-platform mobile applications developed for iOS and Android. Our testing also includes the backend APIs that support your mobile application where they are within scope.
Will testing affect my live mobile application?
Our testing is carefully planned to minimise disruption. If production testing is required, we work closely with your team to ensure testing is performed safely and with minimal impact on users.
How often should mobile applications be tested?
We recommend testing before a major release, after significant application updates, and at least annually to ensure new vulnerabilities are identified and addressed.
Do you test both the mobile app and its APIs?
Yes. Where included in scope, we assess both the mobile application and the APIs it communicates with, providing a comprehensive view of your application’s security.
Do you provide remediation support and retesting?
Yes. Every engagement includes detailed executive and technical reports with prioritised remediation recommendations. We also offer retesting to verify that identified vulnerabilities have been successfully resolved.
