What does a Mobile App Security Testing engagement cover in India?
Key takeaways
- Scope, price band and delivery date are agreed in writing before any testing starts.
- Every finding ships with a reproduction step and a concrete fix, not a tool name.
- A one-page plain-English summary is included so non-technical decision makers can act.
- A retest after remediation is included and lists each finding as closed, partial or open.
- The report states what was tested and what was not, so you know the limits of the result.

What does the engagement include?
iOS and Android testing of the app binary, the API behind it, and the data it stores. The concrete scope depends on your estate, and we set it out line by line in the rules-of-engagement document before we begin.
- Static analysis of the APK/IPA, including hardcoded secrets and exported components
- Dynamic runtime instrumentation and traffic capture
- Local storage, keychain, and database encryption review
- Authentication, session pinning and token lifetime testing
- Server-side validation of every API the app calls
What will you receive?
- Binary and API findings in one register
- Risk rating per OWASP MASVS category
- Remediation guidance with code-level hints, not just verdicts
- Retest on the fixed build
How does the engagement run?
We run engagements in a fixed order. A scoping call comes first, and its job is to establish what a useful test would actually cover rather than what sounds impressive. Next comes the rules-of-engagement document, which names every system, every date, the test window, the contact on your side, and what is out of scope. Both parties sign it. The test runs inside the agreed window. The report follows, your team applies the fixes, and we retest to confirm the fixes held.
| Stage | What happens | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Scoping | A call and, where needed, a short technical discovery | A written scope and a fixed price band |
| Authorisation | Rules of engagement signed by both parties | A document for your legal and insurance files |
| Testing | Manual and AI-assisted testing inside the agreed window | A live finding log you can ask about at any point |
| Reporting | Technical report plus a one-page executive summary | Prioritised findings with reproduction steps and fixes |
| Remediation | Your team fixes, we answer questions during the work | Support while the fixes are in flight |
| Retest | We re-test what we raised | A retest certificate per finding |
What do you get, and when?
The set of documents you receive does not change with the service. It changes in depth. Keeping the shape constant is deliberate, because the point of a written deliverable list is that a procurement team can hold two vendors to the same standard.
| Deliverable | What it contains | When you get it |
|---|---|---|
| Written scope and rules of engagement | Every system, date, permitted technique and named contact | Before testing starts |
| Live finding log | Findings as they are raised, with severity | During the engagement |
| Technical report | CVSS scores, reproduction steps and fix guidance | At the end of testing |
| Executive summary | One page, written for a non-technical decision maker | With the technical report |
| Evidence pack | Request and response captures for every finding | With the technical report |
| Remediation support | Answers while your team applies the fixes | While the fixes are in flight |
| Retest certificate | Each finding marked closed, partial or open | After remediation |
How do you price it?
₹60,000 – ₹2,50,000 is the indicative band for a typical scope of this type. The final figure depends on the number of assets, the depth of authentication, the number of environments, and whether the engagement includes remediation support. We quote a fixed price, not an hourly one, and we confirm it in writing before work starts.
