Mobile application security testing at GK Data looks beyond the app icon. Android and iOS apps usually sit on top of APIs, identity providers, storage choices, and backend workflows. That full path is what gets tested.
Mobile risk areas
- API traffic, endpoint discovery, authorization checks, and account boundary testing.
- Authentication flows, token handling, refresh behavior, session lifetime, and logout behavior.
- Local storage, cached data, secrets, logs, and sensitive information left on the device.
- Client-side controls that can be bypassed, tampered with, or trusted too heavily by the backend.
- Mobile-to-web workflows where user input created in the app is later rendered elsewhere.
Manual validation matters
Mobile findings are easy to overstate if they are not connected to real backend impact. GK Data validates whether a weakness can actually cross a trust boundary, expose data, alter behavior, or create practical risk for users and the business.
Useful output
Deliverables include reproduction steps, affected platforms, request and response evidence where useful, remediation guidance, and optional retesting after fixes are deployed.
