Your mobile security stack protects devices. What about vetting the apps?
Q-scout adds the app risk visibility that your mobile tools lack—no agents, no noise, just real protection your team can prove.
“85% of respondents say risks from mobile device threats have increased in the past year.”
Mobile app vetting & threat detection functionality
Understand behavior beyond the surface.
Apps that sideload code, communicate with other apps, or run unauthorized background services pose significant risks and compliance challenges.
Trace data flows across ecosystems
Whether it’s user data sent offshore or SDKs phoning home to unknown domains, Q-scout shows you where your data’s going—and why it matters.
Enforce mobile compliance that sticks
Apps that skip encryption, request overbroad permissions, or ship broken SDKs create audit red flags—even if they passed app store checks.
How Q-scout completes your mobile security architecture
See what your apps are really doing
Analyze runtime behavior to detect obfuscation, evasion, and hidden permissions.
Trace data flows to external servers and embedded SDKs.
Identify cross-app communication and collusion that other tools can’t see.
Policy-driven intelligence you can customize
Build risk profiles aligned to NIST, GDPR, HIPAA, and your enterprise needs.
Apply data residency and access controls at scale.
Whitelist known behaviors and eliminate false positives.
Works well with your stack, not against it
Agentless integration with MDMs like Intune, Jamf, and WorkspaceONE.

FAQs
Are the apps on the official app stores safe? Why do I need additional mobile security?
Official app stores like Google Play for android devices and Apple App Stores for iOS devices perform basic vetting to protect general consumers, not enterprises. These checks often miss sophisticated malware, risky SDKs, and apps with hidden data collection. Enterprise devices handle sensitive data, IP, and regulatory workloads. Q-scout fills the security gap by vetting apps beyond store-level checks to protect organizations from hidden mobile threats.
How does mobile app vetting with Q-scout fit in with MDM solutions?
Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions manage devices, but they don’t inspect what apps are doing. Q-scout integrates directly with leading MDMs like Microsoft Intune, continuously pulling app inventories and analyzing apps for security, privacy, and compliance risks. As apps are installed, updated, or removed, Q-scout provides real-time visibility and actionable intelligence—without disrupting user experience. Learn more about our Microsoft Intune integration.
How easy is it to deploy Q-scout to all employees’ devices?
Q-scout operates entirely off-device. No agents, no performance hit, no user disruption. We analyze apps in isolated cloud environments using static, dynamic, and behavioral testing. Integrated with your MDM, Q-scout lets you enforce policies—blocking, alerting, or flagging risky apps—before they touch employee devices.
How does Q-scout reduce noisy alerts and avoid false positives?
Most mobile threat solutions overwhelm teams with raw data and generic risk flags. They often lack practical customization options based on your organization’s specific risk profile. Flagging every app as risky or malicious isn’t realistic for enterprise environments. Q-scout solves this by giving you a clear, configurable framework to align app risk assessments to your policies. You control what triggers alerts—whether it’s data flowing to unsanctioned regions, risky SDKs, or specific app behaviors. The result: fewer false positives, less noise, and actionable, relevant alerts your security team can actually use.
Mobile security that makes you smile.
