The Mobile Application Security Program organizes authorized Android and iOS assessment work. It keeps application context, control mappings, technical evidence, remediation, and retest decisions connected whether a finding was logged manually, imported from a spreadsheet, or normalized from MobSF.
Standards and scope
The configured system library uses OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard controls. MASVS defines a security model for mobile apps across storage, cryptography, authentication, network communication, platform interaction, code quality, resilience, and privacy.
- Mobile scope should identify platform, build, package, environment, backend dependencies, and test authorization.
- MASVS controls describe expected security properties; test cases and tools provide evidence against them.
- Android and iOS behaviors can differ and should not be merged without review.
- MobSF results are candidates whose control mapping, exploit context, and severity require validation.
- Static, dynamic, backend, privacy, and manual review may all be necessary for meaningful coverage.
Who this is for
- Mobile-security students, educators, researchers, and portfolio builders.
- Android and iOS penetration testers and security consultants.
- Mobile developers, product-security teams, QA teams, and remediation owners.
- Financial, health, education, government, and other organizations reviewing sensitive mobile services.
What voiqq provides
- MASVS-aware project requirements and canonical control mappings.
- Manual finding entry, spreadsheet import, and supported MobSF candidate normalization.
- Platform, build, component, evidence, impact, likelihood, remediation, assignment, and retest fields.
- Reviewable duplicate handling and lifecycle state that preserve manual work.
- Mobile application assessment snapshots and structured spreadsheet exports.
A practical workflow
- Record authorization, app version, package, platform, test environment, accounts, and backend scope.
- Select relevant MASVS controls and appropriate manual and tool-assisted methods.
- Validate imported candidates against the exact build and affected behavior.
- Assign remediation, protect sensitive mobile evidence, and retest the updated application.
- Review coverage, residual risks, limitations, and report language.
Put the framework into practice
The program supports learning labs, release reviews, client engagements, and internal mobile security programs without separating tool output from the findings and remediation workflow.
Explore the OWASP MASVS library
voiqq uses OWASP MASVS 2.1.0 with 24 high-level controls across 8 official control groups. Where a mobile weakness needs more detail, it can also be mapped to the related official MASWE weakness beneath the MASVS control. MASTG remains a testing reference, not a substitute control catalogue.
