    Mobile App Security Outstaff Audit

    15 min
    Is there value in a security audit before releasing an MVP? This case study confirms that there is. The company brought a Datami specialist into the developer’s team. He performed a pentest and code review of the mobile application and AWS, identifying critical vulnerabilities and risks for the MVP.

    An international company is developing a mobile service for remote communication between veterinarians and their clients. The platform combines a mobile application with cloud infrastructure.

    Cybersecurity is crucial for the company because the developer’s service processes users’ personal data, and any vulnerability may lead to data leaks, financial losses, or even disrupt the MVP launch.

    Tasks and challenges
    The client was preparing to launch the MVP. To prevent data loss and eliminate financial and reputational risks, it was necessary to conduct an external security assessment of the mobile application and AWS infrastructure.

    The company decided to involve a Datami specialist to obtain an independent evaluation of the risk level and recommendations for its mitigation before the release.
    • Evaluate the security of the AWS infrastructure and the mobile application
    • Conduct a technical review of the code and critical configurations
    • Prepare a detailed report with recommendations for eliminating vulnerabilities

    Work in an outstaff format

    The Datami specialist was integrated into the client’s internal team. This cooperation model ensured efficiency and transparent communication: the security assessment was performed without interrupting processes and with full control remaining on the client’s side.

    For the pentest and code security audit, a White-Box strategy was applied. During the project, our expert combined automated tools and manual testing methods to achieve the most accurate and comprehensive result.

    Results and recommendations

    Results and recommendations

    To assess the security of the cloud infrastructure and the mobile application, the Datami specialist used a White-Box strategy. 

    During the pentest and code security audit, 26 vulnerabilities of varying severity were identified: 4 critical, 7 high, 11 medium, and 4 low. Both technical issues and configuration errors were discovered, including:

    • data exposure,
    • unsafe settings,
    • incorrect administrator permissions,
    • exposed API keys in the code,
    • outdated, vulnerable modules and libraries,
    • storage of sensitive information in the source code.

    Based on the security assessment, a report describing the risks was prepared. Each vulnerability was accompanied by specific recommendations, including:

    • configuring secure storage of keys in the code,
    • implementing two-factor authentication,
    • strengthening access control for configurations,
    • regularly updating third-party modules.
