How AppSweep works

Shift security left with seamless integration

The earlier a security issue is found, the cheaper it is to fix

Developers can set up automated scanning of apps by directly integrating the AppSweep CLI into their existing CI pipelines such as Bitrise, Fastlane, Github, Jenkins, and more, to detect issues during development. 

AppSweep groups findings according to OWASP MASVS for clear vulnerability classification, prioritization, and remediation, enabling developers to resolve security issues quickly.

With fast and easy integration, AppSweep is the most efficient way to shift left. 

Unprecedented accuracy

AppSweep allows your team to focus on the most relevant and actionable security issues

Beyond common pattern matching-based approaches, AppSweep performs in-depth code analysis.

Findings are backed by advanced control and data flow analysis and optionally augmented further through interactive runtime testing.

  • State-of-the-art taint analysis

  • Proven ProGuard reachability and dead code tracking

  • Strong value reconstruction and propagation algorithms

AppSweep TL;DR

AppSweep is a mobile application security testing product by Guardsquare that automates security checks with every build. Designed for developers and built for mobile apps, AppSweep enable enables teams to identify vulnerabilities early in the software development lifecycle and provides actionable recommendations to address them. With seamless CI/CD integration and support for OWASP MASVS, AppSweep helps development teams shift security left and ship secure apps faster.

To check if a mobile app is secure, developers should perform a combination of static and dynamic security testing. This includes scanning for common vulnerabilities, insecure coding patterns, exposed secrets, weak encryption practices, and misconfigured permissions. Products like AppSweep simplify this process by automating the analysis of the Android and iOS app binary and flagging issues across categories like code obfuscation, data storage, network security, and cryptographic implementation.

Mobile app security testing is the process of identifying vulnerabilities and weaknesses in a mobile application that could be exploited by attackers. It involves analyzing the app’s source code, configuration files, libraries, and network behavior. Security testing should follow standards like the OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS). AppSweep supports this by automatically categorizing findings according to MASVS and surfacing critical risks before the app reaches users.

Yes. AppSweep helps teams align with compliance and regulatory frameworks by identifying security issues mapped to MASVS categories. This is particularly useful for highly regulated industries such as financial services where security audits and trade association standards like the ones issued by PCI SSC demand secure software practices. AppSweep serves as an early step toward audit readiness and continuous security validation.

AppSweep identifies a broad range of vulnerabilities, including:

  • Insecure data storage (e.g., hardcoded credentials, plaintext files)
  • Weak encryption configurations
  • Debug logs in production builds
  • Improper TLS/SSL implementation
  • Code constructs vulnerable to reverse engineering
  • Exposure to tapjacking
  • Use of deprecated or vulnerable third-party libraries

All findings are categorized by severity and aligned with OWASP MASVS categories to prioritize remediation.

AppSweep is designed to integrate directly into CI/CD pipelines via its Command Line Interface (CLI). Developers can trigger scans automatically with every build, pull results into their existing workflows, and track trends over time. Integration with popular build systems enables fast feedback loops, empowering developers to address issues without slowing down delivery.

Mobile app security testing is crucial because mobile apps operate in untrusted environments and are frequent targets for reverse engineering, tampering, and data theft. A secure backend isn’t enough, the client-side must be hardened and tested regularly. Without proactive testing, vulnerabilities can lead to financial losses, data breaches, compliance failures, and reputational damage. Continuous security testing with tools like AppSweep ensures that mobile apps remain resilient against evolving threats throughout the development cycle.
