How to use this checklist

A regular pentest checks whether your mobile app’s design, data handling, and communication are secure and correctly implemented. It focuses on how well your app protects user data, manages authentication, and follows best practices.

Use this checklist to make sure your app meets the OWASP ASVS and MASVS security expectations before an external pentest starts.

Secure design and authentication

Data handling and secure storage

Network communication security

Input validation and data protection

Compliance and OWASP alignment

Before the pentest begins

Are you ready for your resilience pentest? If most boxes are checked, your app is ready for a regular pentest under OWASP ASVS or MASVS standards. Fix any open gaps before handing the app to testers to prevent unnecessary findings and ensure a clean report.
