Your mobile app is your company's front door, but for an attacker, it's often an unlocked window. You need to find and lock those windows before a breach happens, but traditional pentesting is slow and expensive. At Affordable Pentesting, we deliver fast, expert-led security testing mobile apps need for SOC 2 and beyond.
Think about all the sensitive data your app handles. From user logins and credit cards to private business information, it’s a goldmine for cybercriminals. Skipping a real security test is a huge gamble. The threat isn't theoretical; attacks on applications jumped to 83% last year, showing that hackers are actively targeting mobile platforms. You can learn more about the increasing application security threats to see the risk. Startups and small businesses are prime targets because attackers assume they have weak security. An overlooked flaw is all it takes for a hacker to steal data, get into your systems, or wreck your reputation.
Ignoring mobile security doesn't save money; it creates massive risk. Traditional penetration testing firms know this and charge a fortune, often quoting $25,000 to $50,000 for a single test. Even worse, you'll wait weeks to even get started, which kills your development timeline. For companies needing an urgent penetration test for SOC 2 or HIPAA compliance, these prices and delays are a deal-breaker. This is where we come in. We offer affordable penetration testing from OSCP, CEH, and CREST certified professionals without the crazy price tag. Our manual mobile app pentests start at just $2,000, and we can get started within 24-48 hours. We deliver clear, actionable reports in about five days, so you get the security you need without the wait.
The demand for mobile app security testing is exploding because we run our lives on our phones. This has turned apps into the front door for businesses, making them a prime target. Every time a user opens your app, they trust you with their data, from logins to health records. This makes proactive security a basic business need, not a luxury. The global market for security testing mobile apps is projected to hit $20.62 billion by 2030. You can explore more about this market surge to see why. Ignoring mobile security is a dangerous gamble. A single breach can cause failed compliance audits, huge financial losses, and brand damage that's nearly impossible to repair.
Many companies know they need to test their apps but get stopped by the old-school pentesting model. Legacy security firms want $25,000 or more for a single mobile app test, and you might wait weeks just to start. That slow, expensive process doesn't work for modern teams with tight deadlines. We built our penetration testing services to solve this. Our certified experts deliver the same high-quality, manual pentest you’d get from a big firm, but without the delays and ridiculous price. We start within 24-48 hours and deliver an audit-ready report in five days. It’s the practical solution for companies that need to move fast without cutting corners on security.
Most mobile app vulnerabilities aren't complex; they're common mistakes made by busy developers. Our OSCP and CEH-certified pentesters are experts at finding these flaws before an attacker does. One of the most common issues is apps storing sensitive data like passwords directly on the device. It's like leaving your keys under the doormat. A massive study found that 75% of mobile apps had critical security flaws, like poor code protection and outdated libraries. You can read the full research about these mobile app risks to see how big the problem is.
What are the go-to vulnerabilities attackers love? Let’s break down the most common ones we find. The table below shows the top security issues and how they impact your business.
These five areas are the low-hanging fruit for attackers. Another easy win for them is when your app communicates with servers without proper encryption, allowing a classic Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attack. Finding these flaws requires a human expert who can think like an attacker. Our affordable penetration testing services are designed to find these hidden issues through a deep manual review. We use both Static Application Security Testing (SAST) and Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) for complete coverage, just like we describe in our guide on web application scanning. This gets you the report you need for a fraction of the $25,000+ traditional firms charge.
For businesses handling customer data, penetration testing isn't just a good idea—it's a requirement. If you need SOC 2, HIPAA, or ISO 27001 compliance, you must prove your mobile app is secure. A weak report can stop your audit cold. For SOC 2 penetration testing, auditors need to see you've proactively hunted for vulnerabilities. They expect a thorough, independent security assessment, and your mobile app is a major focus. An audit-ready report must show a comprehensive manual review was done by a certified professional. This proves you went beyond automated tools to find complex flaws only a human can spot.
You shouldn't have to overpay for a compliance-ready pentest. Our process is built for companies facing SOC 2 deadlines who need a high-quality report without the enterprise price. Our reports give auditors everything they need: an executive summary, a clear methodology, detailed findings with risk levels, and actionable steps for your developers to fix the issues. We can deliver a comprehensive, audit-ready report in just five days, helping you meet your compliance goals on time. Our affordable penetration testing starts at just $2,000, giving you the documentation you need for your audit. Learn more about solid security in our guide on penetration testing best practices.
How do we find critical vulnerabilities so fast without the huge costs of traditional firms? It’s simple. We have a direct, no-nonsense process that cuts out the fluff and focuses on securing your mobile app. We skip the endless meetings and get right to delivering fast, actionable results for your security testing mobile apps needs. It’s a lean approach that gets you the audit-ready report for SOC 2 fast.
Our manual review combines two critical testing techniques. First, we perform Static Application Security Testing (SAST). This is like looking at the application's source code to spot insecure coding practices and hardcoded secrets. Next, we conduct Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST). This is the hands-on part where we run your app and actively try to break it, just like a real attacker would. By combining both SAST and DAST, our OSCP and CEH-certified pentesters get a complete picture of your app's security. This comprehensive manual review is what makes a true pentest different from a simple scan. Traditional firms treat this as a complex project to justify their $25,000 to $50,000 price. Our affordable penetration testing provides the same rigorous approach in a streamlined framework. We start within 24-48 hours and deliver a report in about five business days.

Got questions about mobile app security testing? Here are a few common ones with straight-to-the-point answers.
You can get it very fast. We know you’re on a tight deadline, so our process is built for speed. We can usually start your mobile app pentest within 24 to 48 hours. You’ll have a comprehensive, audit-ready report in about 5 business days, letting you check that compliance box without paying the rush fees other firms charge.
Let's use a car analogy. Static testing (SAST) is like popping the hood while the car is off to inspect every wire and bolt against the blueprint. We're looking at the code itself. Dynamic testing (DAST) is the test drive. We get behind the wheel and actively try to break things to see how the app performs under real-world stress. We use both in our penetration testing services for a complete security picture.
No. Automated scans are a good first pass for catching common issues, but they can't understand context. A scanner will miss complex business logic flaws and creative attacks a human hacker would try. For real security and to satisfy compliance like SOC 2, a manual penetration test by a certified expert is essential. Our affordable pentests deliver that deep manual analysis that automated tools always miss.
