Mobile Application Security
Mobile technology and smart devices are highly used, and misunderstood.
Take control over your phone.
Technology is ever changing. Therefore, malicious hackers are exploiting your vulnerabilities. We use our phones for everything, and our mobile applications are a target.
Here at MainNerve, our mobile application penetration testing truly simulates the attacks of a real-world malicious hacker–which includes specialized vulnerability assessments, automated scans, and manual techniques.
These cyber services all work together to reduce false positives and identify application security gaps.
All of our Mobile Application penetration tests go beyond standards – including NIST – and your test will come with a detailed final report.
Your detailed final report will include an executive summary, a listing of findings, risk ratings and remediation recommendations. A letter of attestation can be provided upon your request.
Throughout the mobile application penetration testing process, automated, as well as comprehensive manual testing, will be used to identify all application and business-logic related vulnerabilities.

MainNerve’s mobile application penetration testing is designed to identify vulnerabilities in applications on mobile phones that could be exploited. MainNerve utilizes a highly-manual approach to discovering contextual security vulnerabilities that are specific to mobile applications. Help your mobile apps excel in the market with a comprehensive, risk-based approach to manually identify critical mobile application vulnerabilities… and realize a resilient mobile app that can withstand sophisticated cyber threats.
The understanding phase of the mobile application penetration testing process is vital to the success of the test. It is very important that the security testing team fully understands each of the features/functions in the application. The team does this by browsing through the application, going through the user manuals or if required a walkthrough of the application along with the application owner or developers. We work with you to ensure we are fully aware of its aims, functions, etc.
MainNerve mobile application penetration tests focus on the goals of your adversary, namely what they want to achieve. MainNerver creates a threat profile of all the threats we have identified and becomes the starting point for our subsequent tests. This begins by mapping each threat in the threat profile to specific pages on your site. The test plan then identifies all the attacks MainNerve needs to carry out to assess each specific threat. For example, the MainNerve tester might navigate to the application directory and study the preferences file, xml file, plist file, or SQLite databases.
Once the test plan and test cases are prepared and approved by a senior member of the team, the mobile app testing phase begins. This will be a combination of manual and automated checks and will adhere to the test plan. During the course of testing the tester may identify additional tests or attacks to perform, in which case the test plan will be updated and subsequent tests may be performed. The team takes up the threats one by one and starts performing the tests. If a test case is successful it is marked as unsafe in the test plan.
At MainNerve, we consider the final phase of the mobile application penetration testing process, reporting, to be the most crucial and instrumental step. We take great care to demonstrate the value of the test and our findings. During this phase, a final report is prepared detailing all the vulnerabilities found in the mobile application, including their respective solutions. The report is sent to the client, securely, after it has been reviewed internally.
Web application penetration testing is designed to assess and test the state of your web-facing applications, and provide actionable remediation recommendations for enhancing your security. Ensure that your web applications are protected from malicious cyber threat actors. MainNerve web app pen tests are designed to review all types of web servers.
MainNerve’s compliance solutions are designed to help fill one of the biggest challenges for businesses: staying in alignment with the exhaustive list of Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance (GRC) requirements. From PCI DSS and HIPAA, to CJIS and FINRA, MainNerve can help your business navigate the GRC landscape with specialized penetration tests.
API Testing is a type of software testing that involves testing application programming interfaces directly, and as part of integration testing, to determine if they meet expectations for functionality, reliability, performance, and security. Ensure that APIs into your site, or API calls from your site to a third-party service, aren’t vulnerable to cyber threats.
What Our Clients Say
We value our professional relationship with MainNerve. Their employees are friendly and extremely responsive. They always take care of our clients as if they were their own, while maintaining the penetration and social engineering testing. We couldn’t ask for a better Cybersecurity partner.
In 12 years of tests, you are the first company that found anything higher than a low risk. Phone and cameras were never discovered in the test, let alone accessed. Great to always get a different perspective from a test.
This is a very well written report! Very impressive!
The report looks great!
I felt the whole project was done in a professional manner.
Sheena was very kind, quick with replies, and patient with my questions. That is why I also introduced your service to other company.
All the correspondence with MainNerve was great and the staff were very professional and helpful.
I appreciate the level of detail your team incorporates into your findings.
MainNerve crew is top notch.
Working with MainNerve has been great and I look forward to a long term partnership to maintain the integrity of our operations.
We had our backs to the wall on a “government” contact with an unreasonable time frame. MainNerve team understood the gravity of the problem and made the impossible happen. We are extremely grateful.
This is the second time we have engaged MainNerve. Both times they have done a great job and I would recommend them for pen testing. They were prompt and delivered the reporting required by our customers at part of our data security program. We will certainly use them in the future.
MainNerve provided an extremely fast turn around when speed was our biggest factor. The project went smoothly and I would highly recommend them!
I would highly recommend MainNerve for all of your network system testing needs. From my initial contact, all the way through the end of the services I received, everyone I encountered was courteous, professional, knowledgeable, patient, and very helpful. As a small business owner, who’s business was shut down as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, MainNerve’s service fees were extremely reasonable making it affordable to ensure my network is secure from hackers. I will definitely be a repeat customer!! Thanks MainNerve!!
Sheena was great in guiding us though what was a new process for us. A client had asked us for a third party penn test report and she was very helpful in helping us choose the correct product and in determining the scope.
I was quite pleasantly surprised by the engagement. I think the thing I liked best about it was that everyone at MainNerve really took the time to listen and understand what we did, why we were doing it, and our business goals. It gave us confidence that we were in the right hands.
