FAQ
In this section, we answer some of the most frequently asked questions.
The main risks that we can identify are related to mobile app vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities can be exploited by cybercriminals and malicious apps to cause several damages, such as:
- Stealing sensitive information such as users' passwords and personal data.
- Analyzing the app source code to leak any confidential information.
- Infecting the app through malwares to steal any data or compromise the security of its users.
Our Mobile Security service helps you protect your mobile apps from these risks, by detecting and fixing the vulnerabilities before they can exploited by cybercriminals. This way, you prevent your app from being attacked and avoid any security risks for your users.
For your app to undergo our Mobile Security service, you should make sure that:
- You can provide us with the APK file (for Android) or IPA file (for iOS) to install the app on our devices.
- If the app is using any APIs, they must be made accessible via the Internet or through private network.
- You can provide credentials to analyze the functionalities that require login, if applicable.
In terms of mobile application security, our service offers several advantages compared to automated scanning. In particular, our Mobile Security service simulates a cyberattack to identify any weaknesses and vulnerabilities.
Besides, our service provides a more accurate security assessment compared to any automated scan, since it is based on the simulation of real cyberattacks, similar to those that would be carried out by real hackers. Moreover, our service offers an evaluation of the consequences and the impacts of cyberattacks on your business, helping you define your priorities and the security measures that you should adopt.
Finally, our Mobile Security service can be customized based on the specific needs of your business, providing a more accurate and precise assessment of its security situation.
The OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS) is a standard for the assessment of mobile app security developed by the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) and used by Unlock Security as a guideline. The MASVS provides a set of security requirements for mobile applications and defines the criteria that the apps should meet in order to be considered secure.
The MASVS was outlined to help mobile app developers guarantee the security of their applications and protect the sensitive data of their users. The MASVS is based on the OWASP Mobile Security Testing Guide (MSTG), which provides detailed guidance on security testing for mobile applications.
The MASVS is divided into 2 levels: level 1, defining generic security requirements for mobile applications, and level 2, which defines advanced security requirements for the mobile applications that handle sensitive data, or are exposed to a higher level of risk.
The MASVS represents a very useful tool also for the mobile app developers that want to ensure the security of their applications and protect the sensitive data of their users. However, it is important to bear in mind that the security of mobile apps also depends on the way in which they are used, and on the security measures adopted by their final users.
The OWASP Mobile Application Security Testing Guide (MASTG) is a detailed guide to mobile app security testing developed by the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP). The MASTG provides a set of techniques and methodologies for mobile app security testing along with a list of common vulnerabilities and instructions on how to detect and fix them.
Referring to the OWASP MASTG for mobile security testing is important because:
It provides a comprehensive set of techniques and methodologies for mobile app security testing. The MASTG represents a detailed guidance on mobile app security testing, including all the necessary techniques and methodologies to verify the app security.
It defines the security standards for mobile applications. The MASTG also includes a list of common vulnerabilities and defines the security standards that mobile applications should meet to be considered secure.
It helps identify and fix the vulnerabilities. The MASTG provides a detailed description of how to detect and fix the vulnerabilities present in mobile applications, which helps developers guarantee the security of their applications.
In summary, referring to the OWASP MASTG for mobile security testing is important because it provides a comprehensive set of techniques and methodologies for mobile app security testing, it defines the security standards for mobile applications and helps identify and fix the vulnerabilities present in the applications.

The OWASP Mobile Top 10 is a list of common vulnerabilities that can be found in the applications for mobile devices. Checking this list during a mobile penetration test can help ensure that the apps were tested for the most common and threatening vulnerabilities, which results in protecting the apps and their users' data.
Furthermore, the OWASP Mobile Top 10 is broadly acknowledged as a reference standard for the security of the applications for mobile devices. So, following it ensures that the apps are secure for their users and that they comply with the industry security requirements.
