Inspection of mobile phones

Estimated time: one hour

During the check, a specialist analyzes your phone to detect hidden programs, spyware, or third-party access that could be used by malicious actors to spy on you, eavesdrop, or collect data without your consent.

As a result, you will get a clear understanding of whether there are any risks of information leakage through your smartphone, as well as recommendations on how to eliminate them.

The procedure is completely safe for your device: all actions are reversible, performed in your presence, and your personal data is not read or transferred outside of your phone.

1. Root access, Mobile Device Management, or similar mechanisms (superuser rights)

We determine whether anyone has gained remote administrative access to the system. Such root rights allow changing or deleting system programs, configuring the phone without the owner’s knowledge, and running spyware processes in the background.
In the case of corporate management, the administrator gains access to system settings and can:
– track the device’s geolocation in real time;
– install or delete programs without the user’s knowledge;
– restrict access to the App Store;
– block camera, microphone, or Wi-Fi functions.

2. Installed applications
We analyze all applications for spyware functions or suspicious permissions (access to the microphone, camera, geolocation, messages, and calls). If a dangerous application is detected, we explain the possible risks and help determine whether it is advisable to remove it or restrict access rights.

3. System apps and services
We check built-in apps and services, identify system components with active background processes, suspicious updates, or enabled mechanisms that are often used for covert surveillance.

4. Connected devices
We check whether other phones, tablets, or laptops are connected to your account, through which unauthorized access to your data is possible.

5. Wireless communications audit (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, AirDrop, ANT+, etc.)
We assess the security of wireless communications: we check for third-party connected devices, suspicious IP and MAC addresses, and vulnerable router settings that could create risks of information leakage.
