Mobile apps store tokens, call APIs, and run on devices you do not control. We test iOS and Android the way real attackers do — app, traffic, and server logic — so you ship updates with confidence.
Find tokens and personal data left where other apps can read them.
Validate encryption and whether traffic can be intercepted.
Support security reviews from banks, healthcare, and global buyers.
One engagement tests the client and the backend it uses.
CERT-In empanelled · India
Sumrite’s testers run your mobile app VAPT by hand, and the report is issued through a CERT-In empanelled auditor. One team from scoping to sign-off, built for Indian regulators, enterprise buyers and government work.
Yes. We run the full engagement for you and route the formal attestation through our network of CERT-In empanelled partner auditors, so you deal with one team from scoping to report.
Mobile app VAPT is an expert-led security assessment of an iOS or Android app together with the backend it talks to. The app runs on devices you do not control, so a tester looks at it the way an attacker with the installed app would: what it stores on the phone, which secrets are built into the binary, whether its traffic can be intercepted or altered, and whether deep links or exported components let other apps reach screens that should need a login. Because most real damage happens server-side, the APIs the app calls are tested in the same engagement. The work follows the OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS) and the OWASP Mobile Top 10. The report separates app-side and server-side findings, rates each one, and gives fixes for both mobile and backend developers, with re-testing included.
| MASVS group | What Sumrite tests |
|---|---|
| MASVS-STORAGE | Tokens, personal data and keys stored on the device, logs, backups and caches |
| MASVS-CRYPTO | Weak algorithms, hard-coded keys and misuse of the platform keystore |
| MASVS-AUTH | Login, session handling, biometrics and the server-side checks behind them |
| MASVS-NETWORK | TLS configuration, certificate pinning and traffic interception |
| MASVS-PLATFORM | Deep links, exported components, WebViews and inter-app communication |
| MASVS-CODE | Third-party libraries, input handling and debug code left in release builds |
| MASVS-RESILIENCE | Root and jailbreak detection, tamper and reverse-engineering protections |
| MASVS-PRIVACY | Data collected, permissions requested and what leaves the device |
OWASP MASVS (Mobile Application Security Verification Standard) groups mobile security into eight control areas. Sumrite tests each one on real Android and iOS builds, together with the APIs behind the app.

| Area | What we check | Example finding |
|---|---|---|
| Local storage | Tokens, personal data and keys left on the device | An auth token in plain text in shared preferences |
| Network security | TLS, certificate validation and pinning, traffic tampering | The app accepts an intercepting proxy's certificate |
| Platform interaction | Deep links, intents, URL schemes, WebViews | A deep link opens the account screen without logging in |
| Binary and secrets | Hard-coded API keys, debug flags, obfuscation | A third-party API secret extracted from the app package |
| Backend APIs | The same access and authentication checks as an API test | One user's app session reads another user's records |
An IPA or APK build, or TestFlight and internal-track access, plus test accounts. A build without heavy obfuscation speeds up the work; release-build checks can be added if needed.
They can be tested together or separately. Where both apps share a backend, the API is tested once and the platform-specific checks are done on each app.
No. Store review checks policy and obvious malware. It does not test your access control, data storage or backend APIs, which is where most real mobile breaches start.
We run the full engagement for these frameworks, and where a formal audit or attestation is needed we route it through our local partner firms, so you deal with one team.
Hardcoded keys, weak storage, and deeplinks that skip login are common and rarely caught by store scans alone.
Sumrite's Mobile App VAPT combines static review, runtime testing, and API assessment with proof-backed findings.
Methodology, scope, and deliverables in plain terms.
OWASP MASVS and Mobile Top 10 themes: storage, network, platform interaction, and resilience.
Risk-rated findings, reproduction steps, and fix guidance. Report after verified remediation.
Every step from scope and NDA to a retested, final report, shown for Mobile App VAPT. No jargon, no surprises.
Submit your scope so our team can plan the engagement and get started.
Every phase is run by a security expert, with tools used only to speed up the routine parts. Findings are reproduced and confirmed before they reach your report.
Findings are written for two readers at once: developers who need the exact fix and auditors or buyers who need confidence.
Your team fixes the issues with guidance written for your stack, and the tester who found each issue answers questions directly.
Every fix is tested again. Nothing is marked closed on trust.
You receive a verified report in your company name, ready for clients, auditors and procurement.
