Autoespressolab

Espresso Lab is a mobile application security consulting firm, primarily serving startups, helping them harden iOS and Android apps against real-world threats. Its assessments are based on the latest OWASP MASVS standards and MASTG testing guide, and it uses AI to accelerate delivery, emphasizing fast and high-quality results.

【Purpose and Positioning】 Espresso Lab focuses on mobile application security, and its clients are mobile-first startups. It aims to solve the problems of slow delivery, high prices, and enterprise-level client focus at traditional security companies, and instead provide security services focused on the mobile field, with transparent pricing and suited to the iterative pace of startup teams.

【Main Service Capabilities】

1. Mobile application security assessment: full-stack review of iOS and Android apps, covering static, dynamic, and runtime analysis, and mapped to every control group in OWASP MASVS.
2. Penetration testing: adversarial testing of apps and their backend APIs, covering authentication, session handling, data storage, network traffic, and business logic abuse.
3. OWASP MASVS compliance: gap analysis and verification for MASVS-L1/L2 levels, producing the evidence needed by investors, auditors, and enterprise clients.
4. Secure SDLC and DevSecOps: embedding security into the delivery pipeline, including automated SAST/DAST in CI, dependency scanning, and pre-release security gates that do not slow down development progress.
5. AI-accelerated auditing: AI-assisted workflows automate evidence collection and test orchestration, allowing senior reviewers to focus their time on the findings that truly matter.
6. Remediation support: not only providing a PDF report, but also clear, prioritized remediation plans and code-level guidance, plus one free retest to verify that all issues have been closed.

【Testing Standards and Process】 All services follow the OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS). Its five-step process is:

1. Scoping and threat modeling: map the app's attack surface, data flows, and trust boundaries, and identify the most critical assets.
2. Automated reconnaissance: AI-orchestrated static and dynamic analysis covers the complete MASVS control set in hours rather than weeks.
3. Expert validation: senior testers manually validate every finding, avoiding false positives and noise in the report.
4. Reporting and remediation: deliver prioritized findings with CVSS-style severity levels, reproduction steps, and code-level remediation guidance.
5. Retesting and certification: verify every fix and issue a MASVS verification summary that can be shared with stakeholders.【How AI Accelerates】 Espresso Lab has built an AI-assisted audit pipeline that handles the repetitive 80% of the work, including evidence collection, test orchestration, and coverage tracking; while human experts handle the critical 20%, including exploitation, judgment, and final sign-off. Its claimed features include: automated evidence receipts for every test case; independent verification of every claimed finding; coverage reports to prove nothing was missed; and delivery cycles measured in days, not the weeks of traditional companies.

【Team and Limitations】 Espresso Lab is led by Mohammed Hmedat, a penetration tester focused on web and mobile application security. Every project is performed and signed off by him personally, not handed to junior staff, not passed on, and not outsourced. His credentials are publicly verifiable. Users can submit app information and security concerns, and the official commitment is to respond within one business day and arrange a scoping call. Details such as specific fees, pricing plans, customer cases, and supported platform versions are not currently provided in the available materials.
