Audit Tiers

Four engagement shapes covering everything from a fast binary triage to multi-week threat-modeling for production-critical apps.

Tier 1 · 5–7 days

Static Architecture Scan

A comprehensive review of your application binary. We identify exposed API keys, plaintext secrets in Info.plist, and basic cryptographic misconfigurations before they hit production.

Request this audit

Tier 2 · 2–3 weeks

Deep Dive & Runtime Analysis

Advanced dynamic analysis identifying weaknesses in jailbreak defenses, debugger detection, and network traffic interception vulnerabilities across the execution lifecycle.

Request this audit

Tier 3 · 3–6 weeks

Full Codebase Review

A complete structural audit of your Swift or Objective-C source code to ensure compliance, secure data handling, and robust intellectual property protection.

Request this audit

Tier 4 · scoped

Secure Architecture & Threat Modeling

Proactive defense design for new features or complete refactors. We map trust boundaries and design zero-knowledge, hardware-backed storage policies using the Secure Enclave before a single line of code is written.

Request this audit

Tier 5 · 1–3 weeks

Compliance & MASVS Evidence Package

Map your app to OWASP MASVS Level 1 or Level 2 control identifiers, then produce an auditor-ready evidence package. Supports SOC 2, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and regulated-industry vendor reviews; each finding cites the MASVS control it satisfies or violates.

Request this audit

Tier 6 · monthly

Continuous Audit Retainer

An ongoing engagement, not a one-off scan. Pre-submission review of each App Store release, dependency-drift watch with advisory triage, quarterly threat-model refresh, and one engineering office hour per month. For teams shipping every two weeks.

02 · Developer Security Suite

Drop-in Swift Frameworks

Twelve hardened Swift libraries you can integrate in an afternoon. Pick one, deploy the full suite for layered defense, or grab a curated bundle pack below for the most common defense pairings.

The portfolio expanded from 7 to 12 SDKs in 2026 because three engineering shifts happened simultaneously: on-device AI moved out of research and into shipping apps (PresenceKit, IntentKit, AnomalyKit), Apple's Required Reason API enforcement made privacy review a release-blocker for any non-trivial app (ManifestGuard, RedactKit), and behavioral-biometric defense became table-stakes for credential-class iOS apps where Face ID is a one-shot gate (BehaviorGuard's deeper integration with PresenceKit). The 12 SDKs aren't a sprawl, they're four foundational defense primitives plus eight specialists for the surfaces that emerged in the last 18 months.

The Auditor

Muhammad Khan

Independent iOS Security Researcher

Over a decade of deep native engineering experience. Sentinel Den bridges the gap between high-level app development and specialized security methodologies, providing actionable, developer-friendly remediation for complex mobile vulnerabilities, without compromising user experience.

Practice areas: Mach-O reverse engineering, runtime instrumentation defense, Secure Enclave architecture, App Attest integration, code-signing pipelines.

Junaid Khan · macOS distribution partner. The Sentinel Den macOS product line, including SentinelDen Studio, is signed under Junaid's Apple Developer Program team during this phase of the project. Junaid otherwise builds independent utility apps and games for Apple platforms.

06 · Continuity guarantee

If we disappear, your apps don't.

Sentinel Den is a focused operation, not a 1,000-person vendor. That's the honest trade-off: higher engineering attention per dollar in exchange for procurement's legitimate question about what happens if we vanish. Three contractual mitigations are built in, by design.

Shipped builds keep working

SDKs don't phone home for runtime authorization. License verification happens once at SDK initialization with a 14-day grace cache. If our API is offline tomorrow, your shipped app continues to function on every device that's previously checked in, long enough to ship a migration, not a hotfix.

Source-code escrow

Available on the Enterprise tier. The full SDK source is held by an independent third-party escrow agent and released to you on a defined trigger, Sentinel Den ceasing operations, missed support SLA, or acquisition without continuity warranty. You maintain integration-critical code indefinitely.

Technique documentation is public

Every detection and defense pattern our SDKs implement is documented in detail on our engineering blog, 39 posts and counting. If you ever have to rebuild, you start with a written field guide on how to do it. We wrote it.

Composing the Suite at runtime: boot order, audit-chain alignment, fail-closed handoff

RuntimeGuard boots first. Then EnclaveVault, then PayloadGuard, then AgenticGuard. Why order matters, what each SDK depends on from the previous one.

iOS Security Auditing FAQ

Common questions from engineering and security teams evaluating an iOS audit. For anything not covered here, use the contact form.

What is included in an iOS security audit?

An audit examines what an attacker would: your shipped binary (Mach-O headers, embedded strings, exposed API keys, plaintext secrets), your runtime defenses (jailbreak detection, debugger detection, anti-tampering), your network layer (TLS pinning, certificate validation, MITM resistance), and your data-at-rest posture (Keychain ACLs, Secure Enclave usage, file protection classes). Deliverables are a written report with remediation guidance, severity-ranked findings, and reproduction steps for every issue.

How long does an iOS security audit take?

A Tier 1 Static Architecture Scan typically completes in 5–7 business days. A Tier 2 Deep Dive & Runtime Analysis runs 2–3 weeks depending on app complexity. A Tier 3 Full Codebase Review scales with codebase size, with typical engagements running 3 to 6 weeks. Tier 4 threat modeling is scoped per project, and Tier 5 MASVS compliance evidence packages run 1–3 weeks. Tier 6 is a recurring monthly retainer. Submit the contact form with your app's binary size and feature scope for a precise estimate.

Do you sign an NDA before reviewing my code?

Yes. An NDA is mandatory and signed before any source code, binary, or architectural diagram is shared. Mutual NDAs are reviewed within one business day. Enterprise engagements are governed by a Master Service Agreement (MSA) covering confidentiality, IP ownership, liability, and source code handling.

What deliverables do I receive at the end of the audit?

A written PDF report with an executive summary, full findings (each with severity, exploitation walkthrough, and remediation), an inventory of every check performed, and a 30-day follow-up window for clarification questions. Findings are tracked through to closure: when you patch an issue, we re-validate at no additional cost within the engagement window.

Can I combine an audit with RuntimeGuard SDK integration?

Yes. Most clients pair a Tier 2 (Deep Dive) or Tier 3 (Full Codebase) audit with a RuntimeGuard SDK Professional or Enterprise license. The audit identifies which detection signals matter most for your threat model, and the SDK provides them in production. A combined engagement gets a 15% discount on the SDK license. Contact us via the form for a quote.

Do you work with apps outside iOS?

The practice is iOS-first. Engagements involving an iOS frontend with a server-side or Android counterpart are accepted on a case-by-case basis. We partner with vetted Android and backend security specialists when the scope warrants it.
