What does App audit mean?

An app audit is a process of evaluating an iOS or Android mobile application to identify potential security vulnerabilities, performance issues, and compliance with industry standards and best practices. The goal of an app audit is to identify and mitigate any potential risks that the app may pose to users, the organization that developed the app, and any third parties that may be affected by the behavior of the app.

An app audit can include a variety of different tests and assessments

Security testing

Identify vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and insecure data storage.

Performance testing:

Measuring the performance of the application and identifying bottlenecks that may impact the user experience.

Compliance testing

Ensure that the application complies with industry standards and best practices, such as HIPAA and PCI-DSS.

Usability testing

Evaluating the application’s interface and user experience to ensure it is easy to use and understand.

Code review

Examining the application’s source code to identify potential problems, such as security vulnerabilities, performance bottlenecks, or poor code quality.

The results of an application audit can be used to identify and resolve issues, improve the security and performance of the application, and ensure compliance with relevant standards and regulations.

AppScan has developped a methodology to analyze any App and get some insights without source code.
