Product Security Assessment

The Product Security Assessment is Strata's flagship engagement, combining everything in the Application Security Assessment with hands-on mobile reverse engineering and client-side attack surface analysis. It's built for organizations that need the deepest level of manual validation available, culminating in executive-level presentation of findings.

Starting at $7,500

Who This Is Built For

  • Mobile-first products, especially those handling credentials, payment data, or sensitive personal information
  • Organizations preparing for a major launch, enterprise deal, or fundraising milestone that depends on demonstrable security rigor
  • Products where the client-side attack surface (mobile app, embedded credentials, local storage) is a meaningful part of overall risk
  • Teams that want the most comprehensive assessment available before considering the work complete

Typical Engagement Scope

Engagements are scoped collaboratively — this describes typical coverage, not a fixed checklist applied uniformly.

Typically Included

  • Everything in the Application Security Assessment
  • Mobile reverse engineering (see the dedicated Mobile Reverse Engineering page)
  • Client-side attack surface analysis
  • Certificate pinning and SSL/TLS implementation observations

May Be Included, Depending on Scope

  • Dynamic analysis, where applicable to the platform and artifact
  • Executive presentation and technical walkthrough
  • Optional remediation validation review

Outside This Engagement

  • Infrastructure or network penetration testing
  • Social engineering or physical security testing
  • Any activity beyond the specific, explicitly authorized application artifact

Representative Deliverables

Risk prioritization
Executive presentation
Technical walkthrough
Optional remediation validation

Deliverables reflect agreed scope — not every engagement includes every item. See the full deliverables breakdown on the Services hub.

Assessment Process

  1. Discovery

    An initial conversation about the application, goals, and constraints.

  2. Scope Definition

    Engagement scope, tier, and boundaries are agreed in writing before work begins.

  3. Kickoff

    Access, authorization, and points of contact are confirmed with the client.

  4. Assessment

    Manual and tool-assisted review of the authorized application, repository, or artifact.

  5. Engineering Review

    Findings are validated and prioritized by the engineer who performed the assessment.

  6. Report Preparation

    Executive and technical findings are documented with evidence and remediation guidance.

  7. Executive Briefing

    Business risk and priorities are presented to stakeholders in plain language.

  8. Developer Walkthrough

    Technical findings are reviewed directly with the engineering team.

  9. Optional Validation

    A follow-up review to confirm remediation, scoped and scheduled separately.

Common Questions

It includes everything that engagement covers plus hands-on manual mobile reverse engineering — genuinely different, more time-intensive work that automated tooling and a source-code-only review can't reach.
Not necessarily. Mobile reverse engineering works from the compiled application artifact (APK/IPA); source code can help but isn't required. See the dedicated Mobile Reverse Engineering page for detail.
No. This is manual and tool-assisted analysis of an authorized application artifact — not an attempt to exploit production systems or live infrastructure. See Rules of Engagement on the Services hub.
Final pricing depends on application complexity, platform count (Android, iOS, or both), and agreed scope — it's confirmed during scoping, before work begins, never after.
