Application Testing Services That Expose What Attackers Would Target in Your Apps

Our application testing services cover web application penetration testing, mobile application security testing for iOS and Android, API security testing for REST and GraphQL endpoints, legacy desktop application testing, interactive application security testing for running applications, and post-testing retest validation. The scope is defined based on your application portfolio and the risk areas you want prioritized.

Automated scanners test for known vulnerability patterns through signature matching. Manual application penetration testing tests for exploitable conditions through attacker logic — attempting to chain vulnerabilities, abuse business logic, escalate privileges, and reach data that the application was not designed to expose. Most high-impact findings in production applications are not in scanner databases because they depend on the specific way the application was built and the business context it operates in.

iOS application testing focuses on keychain storage security, data protection API usage, transport security configuration, Objective-C and Swift code exposure through binary analysis, and the entitlement abuse paths that are specific to the iOS permission model. Android application testing addresses the exported component security model, intent hijacking, content provider access controls, and WebView attack surfaces that differ from iOS both architecturally and in how vulnerabilities are exploited.

Interactive application security testing instruments your application at runtime to observe security behavior from the inside while testing inputs from the outside. It is most useful for finding vulnerabilities in authenticated application flows, API responses that carry sensitive data, and business logic paths that only become visible when the application is running with realistic user sessions rather than being analyzed statically.

Web application penetration testing services for single-page applications cover the client-side JavaScript security, the API endpoints that the application communicates with, token storage and handling in browser storage, cross-origin resource sharing configuration, subresource integrity for external dependencies, and the authentication and session management implemented in the application and its backend APIs. SPAs shift much of the application logic to the client, which shifts where the most important vulnerabilities are found.

Our mobile application penetration testing services for Android application penetration testing without source code access use binary analysis through decompilation, dynamic runtime analysis through instrumentation frameworks, network traffic analysis, and file system inspection on test devices. While source code access enables deeper analysis, meaningful penetration testing of Android applications is fully achievable through external testing approaches that replicate what an attacker with only the published app would be able to accomplish.

Our application penetration testing services for GraphQL APIs cover introspection abuse that exposes the full schema to unauthorized parties, query depth and complexity attacks that consume server resources without rate limiting, authorization enforcement at the field and resolver level rather than only at the query entry point, and the batching and aliasing techniques that allow attackers to extract data or enumerate objects faster than standard rate limiting protects against.

A medium-complexity web application testing service engagement — one application with multiple user roles, authenticated and unauthenticated testing, and API coverage — typically takes one to two weeks from scoping through report delivery. Applications with greater complexity, more user roles, or broader API surface areas take correspondingly longer. Scope and timeline are confirmed before testing begins so your team can plan around the engagement.

Yes. Our application testing services produce documentation that satisfies the penetration testing evidence requirements for SOC 2 Type II audits, PCI DSS Requirement 11.3, and ISO 27001 A.12.6 controls. The report includes scope confirmation, methodology description, finding severity classifications, and remediation status documentation in the format that compliance auditors and platforms like Vanta typically require for penetration testing evidence submission.

After the report is delivered, we conduct a debrief session with your development and security teams to walk through findings, answer questions about specific vulnerabilities, and confirm remediation approach for complex findings. We are available to provide clarification during the remediation period. Once your team completes remediation, we conduct a targeted retest that confirms each fix addresses the specific attack path identified rather than only addressing the surface symptom while leaving the underlying condition exploitable through a different approach.
