Audit-Ready iOS App Security for Financial Institutions

Financial institutions are building mobile-first iOS apps, but the ability to produce audit-ready security evidence has not kept pace. On iOS 17–26, jailbreak-based iOS security testing is obsolete, eliminating visibility into runtime app behavior. Without runtime observability, teams cannot validate critical controls such as TLS enforcement, keychain access controls, and encryption at rest—controls increasingly emphasized in frameworks like MASVS.

Apple’s iOS lockdowns have made traditional mobile app penetration testing unreliable and unscalable, leaving core security controls unobservable during PCI DSS and FFIEC audits.

Key Takeaways:

• Why modern iOS lockdowns have made traditional pentesting unreliable.
• The critical runtime blind spots: TLS Enforcement, Keychain ACLs, and more.
• How to generate audit-ready artifacts without a physical jailbroken device.
