Mobile Application Security Testing
Protect your mobile applications and data with confidence.
Why mobile application security matters
Mobile applications are central to how organisations deliver services and connect with customers. They boost productivity and engagement, but they also increase your exposure to cyber threats. Most mobile apps contain at least one serious vulnerability, leaving businesses at risk of data breaches, compliance failures, and reputational damage.
CommSec’s Mobile Application Security Testing (MAST) ensures that your apps and devices are protected against evolving threats. We combine automation with expert-led testing to give you validated, actionable results that strengthen resilience and safeguard your data.
Our approach
Our hybrid approach combines automated scanning with manual penetration testing to deliver results you can trust. We cover both iOS and Android applications, including APIs, authentication flows, and backend services.
Our service includes:
- Vulnerability assessment – Identify weaknesses across applications, APIs, and supporting infrastructure.
- Manual penetration testing – Uncover logic flaws and vulnerabilities that automated tools cannot detect.
- Device forensics – Assess risks such as data leakage, insecure storage, and altered device states.
- Continuous retesting – Validate fixes and ensure ongoing improvements.
| Step | Description | Details captured or performed |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Scoping and intake | Define the scope of your mobile application testing. |
|
| 2. Automated assessments | Run automated scans of the application and APIs. | Identify common vulnerabilities quickly and at scale. |
| 3. Expert-led penetration testing | Carry out manual, in-depth analysis. | Detect advanced vulnerabilities and business logic flaws that automation cannot catch. |
| 4. Device testing and forensics | Test on controlled iOS and Android devices for real-world coverage. | Detect data leaks, insecure storage, misconfigurations, and altered device states. |
| 5. Consolidated reporting and retesting | Provide clear, validated results with prioritisation. |
