SUZU Offensive Security Solutions
Mobile Penetration Testing
Find the flaws attackers use to compromise iOS and Android apps before they reach your users. Suzu Labs tests mobile apps, APIs, and backends together so you can ship updates with confidence.
Mobile Penetration Testing Services
Mobile applications evolve quickly, and even minor updates can introduce significant security risks, from broken authentication and insecure data storage to weak API protections and vulnerable third-party SDKs. We help security teams identify real-world attack paths across the mobile application, supporting APIs, and cloud infrastructure, enabling you to strengthen security without slowing development.
What We Test
A practical, attacker-minded assessment mapped to how mobile apps are compromised, covering the device, the app, and the services it trusts.
iOS & Android app security
Reverse engineering, runtime tampering, and logic abuse to identify exploitable weaknesses in the client.
Authentication & session handling
Validate sign-in flows, token handling, biometric gates, and authorization controls across mobile and backend.
Data storage & secrets
Check local storage, keychains/keystores, logs, caches, and hardcoded secrets that enable account takeover.
Third-Party SDK & Supply Chain Risk
Identify risky SDK behaviors, insecure endpoints, and analytics/ads integrations that expand your attack surface.
Penetration Testing
Companies turn to pentesting when they need real answers, not assumptions.
Maybe a customer is asking for proof, a compliance requirement is coming up, or they simply want to know if they’re actually protected.
Suzu Labs safely tests your systems the way a real attacker would, so you can see where things could break before it becomes a real problem.
-
Meet requirements for frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and PCI DSS with real, defensible testing, not just automated scans.
-
Show clients, vendors, and stakeholders that your security has been tested by real experts, not just assumed to be secure.
-
Turn one-time testing into ongoing validation so your security keeps up with new threats, not just audit cycles.
-
What We Test: Web-App, Mobile App, API, External Network, Internal Network, WIFI, Cloud, IoT, Physical.
Hardware Hacking
This usually comes up when something is on the line. A new device launch, customer trust, or protecting intellectual property.
We evaluate the security of your hardware and embedded systems to ensure they can’t be easily exploited, cloned, or manipulated in the real world.
-
When you’re shipping devices or relying on connected technology, unseen risks can lead to real consequences. From customer trust issues to expensive fixes. We help you catch those issues before they impact your business.
-
What We Hack: SCADA, IoT, OT, Vehicles, Embedded Systems.
Questions
Mobile Penetration Testing FAQs
We test iOS and Android apps, including native, hybrid, and cross-platform builds. We tailor the approach based on your release model, user base, and risk objectives.
Yes. Mobile testing is most valuable when paired with API validation. We follow trust relationships from the app into the services it depends on and document end-to-end attack paths.
The goal is to catch bypasses, not just policy misconfigurations.
We prioritize safety and coordination. Testing is performed with agreed guardrails, and we'll recommend a staging or test tenant when production risk is high.
You'll receive a clear report with technical evidence, risk context, and fix guidance plus a debrief to align remediation with your team's priorities.
Most mobile engagements run one to three weeks depending on the complexity of the application, the number of platforms (iOS, Android, or both), and how many authenticated user roles need testing. We provide a clear timeline during scoping. If we discover a critical finding that poses an imminent threat, we escalate it to your team immediately.
We typically need the application binary (IPA for iOS, APK for Android), test accounts for each user role, and access to any staging or test environments the app connects to. If the app requires specific device configurations, MDM enrollment, or provisioning profiles, we coordinate that during scoping so testing can start without delays.
Yes. We assess whether the application detects jailbroken or rooted devices and whether those controls can be bypassed. We also test whether bypassing those controls exposes additional attack surface, such as access to unencrypted local storage, debugging interfaces, or runtime manipulation that would otherwise be blocked.
The report is the beginning, not the end. You get a live debrief with the operators who ran the engagement, walking through every finding, its real-world impact, and specific remediation steps. If your team needs hands-on help remediating, we can work alongside your engineers to close the gaps. Once fixes are in place, we conduct retesting to verify they’re resolved.
Mobile Pentesting vs. Web Application Pentesting
| Mobile Pentesting | Web Application Pentesting | |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | iOS and Android applications, supporting APIs, backend services, and device-level security controls | The web application itself, including its APIs, authentication flows, business logic, and integrations |
| Attack Surface | Local storage, device permissions, insecure data caching, mobile APIs, reverse engineering | User inputs, session handling, business logic, API integrations |
| Common Vulnerabilities | Hardcoded credentials, insecure local storage, certificate pinning bypass, weak encryption | SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, broken access controls, logic flaws |
| Testing Approach | Static and dynamic analysis, traffic interception, runtime manipulation, reverse engineering | Simulated real-world web attacks targeting application workflows |
| Authentication & Authorization | Tests token storage, biometric integrations, session persistence, mobile-specific auth flows | Tests login systems, cookies, session controls, and role-based access |
| Best for | Organizations with native or hybrid mobile apps connected to backend systems | Organizations operating customer-facing portals, SaaS platforms, or web apps |
