Security & Compliance, with the whole app in view.
Mobile security and compliance engineering solves the catastrophic business risk of data breaches, API abuse, reverse engineering, and regulatory fines under GDPR, CCPA, and COPPA. Mobile applications are client-side software packages deployed into untrusted environments where malicious actors can decompile source code, inspect network requests, extract embedded credentials, or bypass in-app purchase gates.
What we can take care of
- Static and dynamic mobile application security testing (SAST/DAST) across iOS and Android builds
- Client-side reverse engineering and penetration testing targeting hardcoded secrets and jailbreak detection
- API backend vulnerability assessment covering authentication bypass, rate limiting, and data leakage
- Privacy compliance audits mapping data collection and sharing against GDPR, CCPA, and App Tracking Transparency
- App store privacy label documentation (Apple Privacy Nutrition Labels and Google Play Data Safety)
- Code obfuscation, anti-tampering, and SSL certificate pinning implementation guidance
- Detailed security remediation roadmaps prioritized by CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System) severity
How we approach the work
We analyze mobile application security across the full attack surface, covering the local binary, client data storage, and network communication layers. We perform white-box and black-box penetration tests to identify insecure data storage, weak cryptographic implementations, and exposed API endpoints. We verify that all user data collection aligns strictly with global privacy regulations and platform disclosures, providing engineering teams with actionable code remediations.
What progress looks like
Number of remediated CVSS high/critical vulnerabilities, zero store rejections related to privacy disclosures, full compliance with applicable privacy regulations, and resolution speed of identified security issues.

Why is mobile app security different from standard web application security?
In web applications, the client code runs in a protected browser sandbox and the underlying source code stays on your server. In mobile applications, the compiled binary is downloaded directly onto the user's personal device, where attackers can reverse engineer the code, inspect memory, modify binary instructions, and tamper with operating system security controls in ways impossible in standard web environments.
