Mobile Application Penetration Testing

A mobile app ships your secrets and business logic onto a device you don't control. We test iOS and Android apps for Cyprus businesses with static analysis, runtime instrumentation and full backend testing, aligned to the OWASP MASVS.

We extract secrets, bypass pinning and root detection, and prove which data and endpoints are genuinely exposed to a reverse-engineer.

What we test

  • Hardcoded secrets, keys & token extraction
  • Insecure local & keychain storage
  • Certificate-pinning & root/jailbreak bypass
  • Insecure IPC, deep links & exported components
  • Backend API and authentication testing
  • Reverse-engineering & tamper resistance

Common vulnerabilities we uncover

  • Hardcoded secrets, keys and API tokens
  • Insecure local and keychain/keystore storage
  • Certificate-pinning and root/jailbreak bypass
  • Insecure IPC, deep links and exported components
  • Weak backend API authorization
  • Insufficient tamper and reverse-engineering resistance

How we run your Mobile Application Penetration Testing

  1. Kick-off & scoping. A short call to agree goals, in-scope assets and rules of engagement, so your mobile application penetration testing is safe, authorised and aimed at your real business risk.
  2. Mapping & discovery. Before touching anything we map the full attack surface in scope, so nothing exploitable slips through.
  3. Hands-on testing. Cyprus-based specialists exploit and chain weaknesses manually — the flaws scanners walk straight past — to show genuine impact.
  4. Reporting. Each issue is verified, CVSS-rated and documented with a step-by-step reproduction and a practical fix your team can apply.
  5. Free retest. Once you have remediated, we re-test at no extra cost to confirm the attack path is truly closed.

What you receive

  • Static + dynamic analysis findings
  • Runtime bypass and exploitation PoCs
  • OWASP MASVS-aligned risk ratings
  • Free retest of remediated issues

Your deliverables

When your mobile application penetration testing wraps up, you receive a clear, audit-ready report plus a walkthrough call with your team. Inside you will find:

  • A concise executive summary that management and the board can act on
  • Every technical finding with a reproducible, copy-paste proof of concept
  • CVSS v3.1 ratings and plain-language business impact for each issue
  • Practical, prioritised remediation your developers can implement straight away
  • A free retest and updated finding status once fixes are in place
  • A signed attestation letter for clients, auditors, GDPR, NIS2 and ISO 27001

What you gain

By the end of your mobile application penetration testing, you will know exactly which weaknesses a real attacker could exploit, what it would cost your business, and the precise order in which to fix them — backed by evidence, not a scanner’s guesswork. Cyprus firms use our findings to close critical gaps, satisfy client and regulator security questionnaires, and demonstrate due diligence for GDPR and NIS2. With a free retest included, you also get documented proof the issues are resolved.

Working with us

Every mobile application penetration testing begins with a short, no-obligation scoping call to understand your goals, environment and constraints, followed by a fixed-price proposal. Most work is delivered remotely, and because we are based in Cyprus we work in your timezone with on-site visits across Limassol, Nicosia and island-wide where it helps. We keep you updated throughout and flag any critical finding immediately rather than waiting for the report. Everything is covered by a signed NDA and safe, non-disruptive testing that protects your production systems. You receive your report, a walkthrough and a complimentary retest once fixes land. Engagements are typically booked one to three weeks ahead, and urgent testing can often be arranged — just email hi@cypruspentest.com.

  • Based in Cyprus — local, in your timezone, with on-site coverage across Limassol and Nicosia.
  • Manual, exploit-led testing that chains vulnerabilities the way an attacker would, well beyond automated scanners.
  • Reproducible proof for every finding, with copy-paste steps your team can independently verify.
  • Compliance-ready reporting that supports GDPR, NIS2, ISO 27001 and CySEC expectations.
  • A free retest so you have documented evidence your fixes actually hold.
  • Fixed-price and responsive, with a named point of contact from scoping through to retest.

Yes — mobile apps handling payments or accounts are exactly where this testing pays off.
Do you need our source code?
No, we test from the compiled app by default; source access gives deeper coverage at lower cost.
