Evaluate Mobile Security Testing Services with Real Scope
The most useful question when evaluating mobile security testing services is not “how many vulnerabilities will you find?” It is “what evidence will you.

What Mobile App Security Audit checks
- Automated static findings that can inform a manual MASVS review
- Network security: cleartext and trust configuration
- Component exposure and permission risks
- Secrets and risky code patterns
Good to know: Returns a severity-sorted list of static findings, not MASVS theme mapping, a full assessment or a penetration test.
When to use Mobile App Security Audit
- Best for
- Collecting automated static findings to review alongside a separate mobile security checklist.
- Not the right tool for
- Not a human penetration test and not a malware signature scan, despite covering similar ground.
- What you get back
- A severity-sorted list of manifest, DEX-reference and heuristic findings, with explicit scan coverage. Findings are not mapped into MASVS theme groups.
- How it differs from related APKLint tools
- Same underlying static checks as the Security Scanner, but presented in OWASP review language; the OWASP MASVS Checklist tool is the manual companion to this automated pass.
- Limitations
- Automated and static: it informs a MASVS review, it does not replace a tester working through the app.
