Convenience in Development Often Creates Blind Spots

Fast deployment schedules and complex codebase architectures can leave severe security blind spots in mobile apps and APIs:

Hardcoded Credentials & Exposed Secrets

Developers frequently leave API keys, access tokens, or database passwords embedded directly in source code.

Rogue & Unintentional Endpoints

Forgotten, undocumented, or unprotected API endpoints that give attackers unauthorised entry into internal systems.

Undetected Malicious Activity

Subtle logic flaws or malicious patterns that slip past basic functional testing unnoticed.

Platform-Specific Exploit Vectors

Security gaps that uniquely affect iOS or Android environments through misconfigured permissions or improper data storage.

A single exposed API key or vulnerable endpoint can invalidate your compliance status and compromise your entire business network.

Comprehensive Code, Endpoint, and Mobile Threat Inspection

Our Application Security Testing methodology dives deep into your applications to identify risks, verify controls, and deliver actionable remediation steps.

1. Source Code & Secret Inspection

We scan your code repositories and application builds to detect exposed API keys, secret credentials, encryption keys, and hardcoded backdoors before they hit production.

2. Endpoint & API Assessment

We identify and audit all active endpoints—including unintentional, undocumented, or legacy endpoints—to ensure strict access control and robust authorisation.

3. Threat & Vulnerability Identification

We analyse application logic and runtime behaviour to surface hidden vulnerabilities, suspicious activity, and potential injection or privilege escalation attacks.

4. iOS & Android Platform Coverage

Full testing for native, hybrid, and cross-platform applications across both iOS and Android, targeting mobile-specific threat vectors.

From Vulnerability Detection to Compliance Assurance

Security testing shouldn't happen in a vacuum. As part of BSA's Bespoke Technology and Validation ecosystem, our technical testing directly supports your broader operational security and compliance objectives:

Security Testing Feature Business & Operational Impact
Exposed Secret & Endpoint Audit Prevents data breaches, financial loss, and unauthorised access.
iOS & Android Coverage Protects mobile users and maintains app store compliance and consumer trust.
Vulnerability Mapping Provides developers with a prioritised, step-by-step fix roadmap.
Compliance Support Strengthens Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) like ISO 27001.

Our Testing Methodology

A structured framework for total code confidence.

1

Discovery & Architecture Review

We map out your app ecosystem, platform architecture (iOS/Android), and repository structures.

2

Deep Inspection & Automated Scans

We audit source code, inspect binary files, and search for exposed credentials, endpoints, and logic flaws.

3

Behavioural & Dynamic Analysis

We monitor active application traffic to detect suspicious behaviours and unmonitored API calls.

4

Remediation & Re-Testing

We deliver a clear, actionable findings report with practical remediation advice—re-testing your systems after fixes are implemented.

Lock Down Your Applications and Protect Your Business

Get complete visibility into your application security posture across iOS and Android platforms before vulnerabilities turn into costly breaches.
