The Challenge

Technical assurance and governance needed to move together.

Spin Mobile needed practical security testing across its customer-facing technology together with stronger policies to support governance and compliance readiness.

Operating Constraints
  • Authenticated web, Android app & supporting APIs in scope
  • Customer-facing technology requiring practical testing
  • Stronger governance & compliance readiness required
  • Minimal interruption to normal operations

Engagement Lifecycle

  1. Onboarding & Scope

    Agree testing objectives, systems, engagement boundaries and schedule.

  2. Active Testing

    Assess the authenticated web application, Android application and supporting APIs using practical attack techniques.

  3. Preliminary Findings

    Communicate issues requiring attention during the engagement, with urgent matters escalated immediately.

  4. Remediation

    Provide reproducible evidence so engineers understand what needs to be corrected and why.

  5. Retesting

    Return after remediation to verify whether identified issues have been closed.

Strengthening the policy foundation.

Alongside penetration testing, Seraph developed a practical set of cybersecurity policies designed to strengthen security governance and improve compliance readiness.

How We Worked

Validated findings, paired with governance.

Penetration testing across web, mobile and API surfaces was matched with a practical set of cybersecurity policies — giving Spin Mobile both the fixes engineers needed and the governance foundation to support compliance readiness going forward.

Outcome

Validated security, stronger governance.

The engagement provided Spin Mobile with validated findings across web, mobile and API environments, remediation verification and a stronger cybersecurity policy foundation. The work was completed with little interruption to normal operations and with confidentiality maintained throughout.

The Seraph Approach

Evidence before conclusions.

Validate

Confirm technical findings before presenting them as material risk.

Escalate

Communicate urgent findings during the engagement rather than waiting for final reporting.

Explain

Give technical teams the evidence they need while giving leadership clear business context.

Verify

Where included in scope, retest remediation to confirm whether the issue has actually been resolved.
