Independent iOS penetration testing

A closer look at your iOS app.

We assess iOS applications within an agreed scope and deliver clear findings with practical recommendations.

The service

iOS security, beneath the surface.

A focused assessment of your app, its data, and how it behaves.

On the device

Data & privacy

How well does your app protect information on the device?

  • Local storage and logs
  • Keychain and permissions
  • Unnecessary data exposure

Inside the app

App logic & behavior

A closer look at the compiled app and the logic it reveals.

  • Authentication and sensitive actions
  • Input handling and deep links
  • Reverse engineering

Between app and service

Connections & APIs

How your app communicates with the services it relies on.

  • App traffic and transport protection
  • Session handling
  • API testing with explicit permission

Testing environmentYour standard app and its endpoints, or an authorized testing or staging environment.
We agree on the scope and access before testing.

Scope exclusionsSource-code review, infrastructure testing, and phishing. Reverse engineering examines recoverable logic; it does not guarantee recovery of the original source code.

The approach

Clear from the start.

Three steps, with one point of contact throughout.

  1. Agree on the scope

    We start with your security questions, then agree on the app, environment, permissions, and areas to assess.

  2. Examine the application

    We investigate the compiled app and its behavior. API testing follows the explicitly agreed scope.

  3. Explain the findings

    You receive a detailed report with evidence, impact, and practical recommendations.

Planning a release or a significant change?
Allow time to assess the app and address the findings before launch.

Your deliverable

A report you can act on.

Detailed enough for developers. Clear enough to support decisions.

Before we start

Scope, access, and expectations.

A few answers to help you plan an assessment.

Do you need our source code?

We examine the compiled iOS app and use reverse engineering to understand recoverable logic. This is not a source-code review, and it does not guarantee recovery of the original source code.

Can you use our staging environment?

Yes, when authorized. The starting point is your standard app and its normal endpoints, or an agreed testing or staging environment. Additional API testing requires explicit permission and its own agreed scope.

What do you need to get started?

A short description of your app, what you want assessed, and any timing constraints. We then agree on scope, permissions, app access, and any test accounts needed.
