Continuous mobile security · CI-native

You secure the source. Attackers read the bundle.

The final APK or IPA is the real attack surface — and it's the one artifact most teams never analyze. DeltaWard scans every shipped bundle, diffs it against the last release, and returns one verdict in CI.

Why now
A leaked key worth $10 was never worth hours of manual reverse engineering. Automated across ten thousand apps, it is. AI changed the economics of attacking mobile bundles.

01

The shipped artifact is rarely analyzed

Source scanners watch the repo. But multiple teams merge into one bundle, and what actually ships — after bundling, codegen and config injection — is the thing nobody inspects.

02

Pentests are snapshots; you ship weekly

An audit once or twice a year describes a build from months ago. Every release between audits ships on trust.

03

Attackers don't see your GitHub repo

They download the same bundle your users do, and inspect it at scale. The defense has to happen on that artifact, before it reaches the store.

How it works

The inspection attackers automate — run inside your pipeline first.

One step in the CI you already have. DeltaWard takes the final bundle, not your source, and hands back a decision.

STEP 01

Connect CI, or drop an artifact

Point the scan at the APK or IPA your build already produces. First scan becomes the baseline.

STEP 02

Scan the final bundle

Static and behavioral analysis on the shipped artifact — secrets, runtime config, SDKs, permissions — the things source scanning can't see after bundling.

STEP 03

Get the diff, gate the release

Every finding is fingerprinted and compared to the previous build. New, fixed, persisting — then pass, warn or fail, in your pipeline.

Build-to-build diff

A diff, not a dump.

200 findings on every run is noise. The signal is what this release changed against the last one. Dismiss a finding once and it stays dismissed — the diff only ever shows you what moved.

What it checks

Everything visible to someone holding your bundle.

We pull the artifact apart the way automated attackers do — then report what's exposed, on the build that introduced it.

SECRETS

Embedded keys & tokens

API keys, credentials and signing material recoverable from the binary or JS bundle — the bulk-extraction target of the AI era.

RUNTIME

Insecure runtime behavior

SSL pinning silently dropped, cleartext traffic, debug endpoints and verbose logging left on in a release build.

SDKS

Risky third-party SDKs

New SDKs, excessive permissions and known-vulnerable versions — mapped to what actually shipped, not what package.json claims.

CONFIG

Weak configuration

Exported components, backup flags, ATS exceptions, entitlements — the defaults that drift between releases unnoticed.

REGRESSIONS

Build-to-build regressions

A protection that existed in the last release and is missing in this one is its own finding — even if no scanner rule fires.

EVIDENCE

Audit-ready evidence

Every finding anchored to OWASP MASVS, every release verdict logged — continuous evidence that replaces parts of the periodic pentest.

Findings mapped against OWASP MASVS MASTG CWE — standards your auditors already recognize.
The release gate

One verdict, where the release decision already happens.

No new dashboard to babysit. The scan returns pass, warn or fail to the pipeline — and the rule is yours to set.

Trust

We simulate the attacker — inside your pipeline, never outside it.

Security tooling asks for your most sensitive artifact. Here is exactly how it's treated.

01

Your artifact, your pipeline

Analysis runs on the bundle you hand us, on isolated infrastructure. Never against your servers, your store listing or your users.

02

Binaries deleted after scan

We keep findings and verdicts — not your IP. The artifact is destroyed when the scan completes.

03

No source required

The scan works on the artifact alone. Your repo never leaves your infrastructure.

04

Deterministic findings

Detection is deterministic and anchored to MASVS. AI explains and suggests fixes — it never invents a finding.

Mobile teams ship weekly. Pentests happen yearly. Close the gap.

Connect one app and your next build gets a baseline. The build after that gets a diff — and a verdict.
