Mobile app security is often assumed but rarely verified
Just because an app appears in the iOS or Google Play stores does not mean it is fit to be integrated into your organisation. Managing risks emerging from mobile apps is crucial to prevent unauthorised access to photos, contact lists, tracking users outside of work, and listening in on conversations.
Our Mobstr platform automatically checks that the mobile apps being used by your teams are safe and compliant at every update.

Mobile Application Security FAQs
Mobile apps often handle or can access sensitive data such as personal information, financial transactions, and health records. Without proper security, attackers can exploit vulnerabilities to steal data or compromise user accounts. A secure mobile app builds user trust and helps you meet compliance requirements.
Yes. While these App Stores will review checks for certain policy and functionality issues, it does not perform deep security testing. Vulnerabilities such as insecure APIs, poor cryptography, and data leaks often go undetected. Mobstr app security testing ensures that your app truly protects user data and meets industry security standards.
Best practice is to test mobile applications at several key stages. The Mobstr platform will automatically scan your apps at every one of these stages, reducing the burden on teams and making sure there are no oversights.
- Before launch
- After significant updates or feature releases
- When integrating new APIs or third-party libraries
- On a regular schedule (e.g. quarterly) for ongoing assurance
Costs are easily and quickly calculated based on the number of apps your organisation has enrolled. Factors such as app complexity, number of stores it is available on, and API integrations, have no bearing on the cost. With Mobstr there are no features available for a price premium. All our functionality is available to all customers.
