Protect your mobile app and pass security audits

Identify and fix security gaps before auditors or attackers do

Build security and resilience into your app from the start with client-side protections that meet OWASP MASVS, PCI DSS, and PSD2 standards — including code obfuscation, runtime protection, anti-tampering, root detection, and data-at-rest security.

Get audit-ready, avoid costly rework, and keep your release on schedule.

Ship resilient, compliant mobile apps with Promon

Promon helps you build security and resilience directly into your mobile app — protecting it from tampering, malware, and runtime attacks before they cause issues in production or during audits.

By addressing these risks early, Promon reduces critical findings, shortens remediation cycles, and helps your team deliver secure, compliant apps on schedule.

Mobile app security: more than a checkbox

In industries where mobile apps power sensitive transactions, services, and data — including banking and financial services, payments, gaming, streaming, retail, healthcare, and the public sector — resilience is about protecting your business, not just passing a test.

Without strong client-side defenses, teams face:

  • database

    Data theft or IP compromise

    from proprietary code to customer information
  • coin-money

    Fraud and revenue loss

    driven by tampering and reverse engineering
  • compliance-rosette-check

    Regulatory penalties

    from non-compliance with PCI DSS, PSD2, HIPAA, and more
  • handshake-heart-trust

Common findings of weak app hardening

Security audits and penetration tests are designed to uncover real-world weaknesses. But when it comes to mobile apps, the most common reasons teams fail a pentest or audit aren’t obscure vulnerabilities — they’re fundamental client-side issues. 

When these findings show up, development teams are forced to scramble. Fixing them late in the cycle is expensive, slows down pipelines, and can even block compliance approvals. 

  • threat-bug-malware

    Reverse engineering and code tampering

    Attackers can decompile apps and bypass protections.

  • lock-open-1

    Insecure data storage

    Sensitive data left exposed on the device.

  • at-runtime-sun

    Weak runtime protections

    No defense against rooting, jailbreaking, or hooking.

  • 5_API_security

    API and secret exposure

    Keys, tokens, and logic easily extracted and abused.

Pentest readiness checklist for mobile apps

This checklist helps your team prepare for a resilience pentest by verifying that the app’s built-in protections work, so you can find and fix weak points before external testers do.

Use it as an internal readiness tool to reduce critical findings and approach your next pentest with confidence.

  • Core mobile app resilience controls
  • Protecting data at rest and runtime
  • Following OWASP MASVS-R basics
  • Preparing the build for testing
  • Before the resilience test begins

Preparing for a regular pentest?

A regular pentest validates your app’s core security — from design and data handling to authentication and communication. 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.

FAQ

Is Promon a penetration testing company?

No. Promon does not perform pentests. Instead, we make sure your mobile app is ready for testing. Pentesters identify weaknesses — Promon helps you address the client-side issues that cause the majority of failures. Think of us as the layer that makes life easier for both you and your testers.

What if we already failed a pentest?

That’s common. Many teams reach out after failing because of client-side issues like missing runtime defenses, exposed secrets, or insecure storage. If you bring your report, we’ll show you how Promon mitigates those findings so you can re-test faster and avoid extended release delays.

Will this help with compliance requirements like PCI DSS, PSD2, HIPAA, or MASVS?

Yes. Promon directly addresses client-side security controls in frameworks such as OWASP MASVS and the OWASP Mobile Top 10. By reducing gaps in these areas, you not only strengthen your audit posture but also pass regulatory-driven pentests with fewer findings.

Can Promon stop all pentest findings?

No solution can guarantee zero findings. However, Promon significantly reduces the most common and high-impact issues (reverse engineering, tampering, runtime bypasses, API key exposure), giving you the best chance to pass on the first attempt and focus your remediation efforts where they matter most.

How does Promon work with our existing pentest provider?

Seamlessly. Pentesting firms focus on discovery; Promon ensures your app is hardened beforehand and helps you remediate findings afterward. This shortens remediation cycles, reduces back-and-forth with testers, and accelerates approvals.

Do developers need to change their code to use Promon?

No heavy rewrites. Promon integrates at the build stage and wraps your app with protection. Developers don’t need to refactor their codebase to gain coverage. This means you can quickly apply protections ahead of an upcoming pentest. 

Ensure your apps are pentest-ready

Think of this as a practical conversation about your upcoming pentest and how to approach it with confidence. In the meeting, you can expect to: 

  • Understand why mobile apps often fail pentests 
  • Learn how Promon’s protections map to common pentest findings 
  • Learn from examples of how others prepared for and passed their mobile app penetration tests 
  • See whether Promon is a fit for your environment and goals
