What mobile app testing can include

Testing is shaped around your app, architecture, users, data, backend services, and release risk. Researchers use focused tooling, then validate every reported finding by hand.

  • Static and dynamic analysis of IPA and APK files
  • Runtime instrumentation and hooking
  • Transport security and certificate pinning tests
  • Root jailbreak and tamper resistance
  • Authentication access control business logic and APIs
  • Evidence and remediation guidance

What is mobile application penetration testing?

A mobile app pentest is a controlled assessment of an iOS or Android app, its runtime, device-side controls, and backend services. It shows whether weaknesses could expose users, data, transactions, or the wider product.

Blaze combines static and dynamic analysis, reverse engineering, traffic inspection, and manual abuse-case testing. Coverage is tailored to each platform, and every reported finding is validated by a researcher.

Why Blaze

Why choose Blaze for mobile application penetration testing?

Get platform-specific testing, validated findings, and direct access to the researchers doing the work.

Shield Check

Protect user data

Check whether credentials, tokens, and sensitive data leak through storage, logs, memory, or traffic.

Lightning

Bypass testing

Test whether root or jailbreak detection, certificate pinning, and anti-tampering controls resist practical bypasses.

Lock Simple

Backend coverage

Test the APIs behind the app for authentication, authorization, and data-exposure flaws.

Compliance

Mobile app pentesting for compliance and assurance

Reports can map relevant findings to OWASP MASVS, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS without overstating what a pentest proves.

Frequently asked questions

Answers about platforms, access, backend APIs, bypass testing, scope, and remediation.

Yes. Each iOS and Android build is tested with platform-specific techniques, even when both apps share a backend.
Not always. Blaze can test an IPA or APK without source code; source-assisted testing can add depth for sensitive logic and data handling.
The APIs used by the app can be included. A large or shared API estate may need a dedicated API pentest for full coverage.
Researchers attempt controlled bypasses to determine whether these controls meaningfully protect sensitive behavior and data.
Average start time is about two weeks, subject to scope, access, complexity, and availability. The delivery schedule is confirmed after scoping.
Scope can include the binary, runtime, storage, traffic, authentication, platform controls, business logic, and backend APIs.
Yes, when included. Researchers verify the agreed fixes and update the finding status.
Yes. The report can support relevant reviews and controls, but a pentest does not guarantee certification or compliance.
