Securing web and mobile applications

Smart protection from development until launch

Definition of the service

Web and mobile applications service in an imprint company for cybersecurity is a comprehensive and integrated process that is implemented during all stages of the application life cycle – From initial analysis and requirements, through design and development, and to post -launch tests. We rely on securing web applications on SAST tools to analyze the Static Code Analysis and DST tools for the Dynamic Application Security Testing, as well as Application Pentration Testing using Owasp Top Top Top And pts. In securing mobile applications – Android and iOS – we make Mobile Security Testing include packages analysis (APK/IPA), verification of encryption, and setting access permissions (Permissions). The service aims to provide applications free of technical and logical gaps, while ensuring compatibility with international safety standards such as ISO 27001, GDPR and PCI-DSS, which enhances user confidence and reduces the risk of breach and exploitation

Service benefits

Integrating security testing with the CI/CD phase enables SAST tools to be automatically executed with every repository change.
This approach is based on the DevSecOps principle, which integrates security into the daily development process rather than reserving it for the end of the project.
Finding technical vulnerabilities such as SQL Injection, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), and Insecure Deserialization early makes it easier to address them before they move to test or production environments.
This significantly reduces the cost of patching compared to post-launch discovery and lowers the cost of bug delay.
Early discovery helps teams adopt better coding and security practices, raising developer awareness and providing a technical safety net to ensure code quality and security.

Securing applications ensures the confidentiality of user data and the integrity of operations, enhancing customer and partner trust.
Security contributes to reducing user bounce rates due to security concerns or security-related error messages.
Data is secured through:
Encrypting sensitive data on mobile devices (Secure Data Storage).
Using HTTPS/TLS protocols for secure communication.
Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA).
This investment demonstrates your commitment to data protection and contributes to enhancing your brand reputation.
It increases your chances of expanding into new markets that require strict security standards, such as the banking and medical sectors.

The OWASP Top 10 is the definitive reference for the most significant security vulnerabilities in web and mobile applications.
The OWASP Top 10 covers issues such as:
Broken Access Control
Security Misconfiguration
Insecure Deserialization
The service integrates testing:
DAST (Dynamic Testing)
SAST (Stability Testing)
Application-specific field penetration testing.
These tests ensure the absence of common exploits.
Protection protects against attacks such as:

Applications in the financial, healthcare, and government sectors require compliance with security and regulatory standards such as:
ISO 27001 for information security management.
GDPR in the European Union.
PCI-DSS for payment card processing.
NCA in Saudi Arabia.
Web and mobile application security services ensure full compliance with these standards through:
Gap analysis links discovered vulnerabilities to regulatory requirements.
A detailed action plan (remediation plan) to address the gaps.
We provide necessary reports to facilitate auditing and certification procedures.

Investing in proactive application security reduces the significant costs of breaches, such as:
Data recovery
Code remediation
Customer compensation
Reputation loss
Cost-benefit analysis shows that the cost of addressing vulnerabilities during the development phase is 5-10 times lower than the cost of discovering them in production.
Implementing automated security gates reduces the need for extensive manual auditing.
Automated security saves time and human resources and ensures a smooth deployment process without disrupting project schedules.

Patch management involves applying patches in a timely manner, along with testing for compatibility and impact on surrounding applications and systems.
New versions of libraries and frameworks are monitored through Software Composition Analysis (SCA).
Alerts are provided when new vulnerabilities appear within the components in use.
These measures ensure that your application is not exposed to newly discovered vulnerabilities, while maintaining service continuity and a user experience without disruption or technical issues.

The most important advantages of insurance applications lies in linking security tests to the stage of continuous code integration (CI/CD), so that SST tools are automatically implemented with each software modification. This approach is based on the Devsecops principle, which integrates safety within the daily development process rather than postponing it to the end of the project. By monitoring technical vulnerabilities-such as SQL Injility, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and Insecure Deserialization-Early, we can process it before the code is transferred to testing or production environments. This provides a significant reduction in the correction cost compared to the discovery after the launch, and reduces the “Cost of Delay” significantly. In addition, early detection helps the development teams to adopt better practices in writing and securing the code, raising the level of the awareness of the developers and provides a technical safety network that guarantees the quality of the code and the required level of safety.

When you know that your application is insured from the inside out, you can provide a smooth and anxious experience for users. Application insurance – by ensuring the confidentiality of user data (Data Privacy) and integration of operations (Integrity) – contributes to enhancing customer and partners’ confidence and reduces user bounce ray rates caused by security doubts or protection errors. By encryption of sensitive data on the mobile (SECURE DATA Storage), the application of https/TLS protocols for safe communication, and activating multi -factor authentication (MFA), we guarantee a high level of safety and privacy. This investment reflects your seriousness in protecting user data, which reflects positively on the reputation of your brand and your expansion opportunities in new markets that require strict safety standards, such as the banking and medical sector

Most applications-especially in the financial, health and governmental sectors-require compliance with security and organizational standards such as ISO 27001 for Information Security Management, GDPR in the European Union, and PCI-DSS to deal with payment cards, as well as NCA in Saudi Arabia. Web and mobile applications insurance service guarantees all the controls of these standards via GAP Analysis linking the discovered gaps with regulatory requirements, with a detailed work plan to treat gaps. We provide you with the necessary reports to facilitate auditing and accreditation procedures, which reduces the possibility of notes or fines, and enhances your position in front of international and local partners.

Owasp Top 10 is the most prominent reference for the most important security gaps in web and mobile applications, from Broken Access Control through Security MiscOnfiguration to Insecure Deserialization. By merging dynamic tests (DST), SAST tests and field penetration tests, we cover all aspects mentioned in Owasp Top 10 and make sure that there are no common exploitation gaps. This concentrated protection guarantees the resistance of API Injility, Session Hijacking and Sensitive Data Exposure attacks, making your application fortified against the most common methods in hackers.

Instead of facing exorbitant costs after the penetration, it includes data recovery, code repair, customer compensation, and reputation loss – the investment is preferred to secure applications proactively. The cost and interest analysis shows that the cost of treating gaps during the development phase is 5-10 times less than the cost when it is discovered in production. In addition, Automated Security Gates reduces the need for intense manual scrutiny, providing time and human resources, and ensures high flow in the publishing process without disrupting the projects of projects.

Our strategy also includes the Patch Management to apply the necessary timely corrections, while testing compatibility and impact on the surrounding applications and systems. We monitor new versions of libraries and tires used via Software Composition Analysis (SCA), and we warn you when new gaps appear within these components. With this, it ensures that your application does not remain vulnerable to the newly discovered gaps, and maintains the continuity of the service and the user experience without interruption or technical problems.
