Meet Compliance & Reporting Requirements with Quokka
PSD2: PSD2 is an EU regulation that secures digital payments by mandating stronger authentication, data protection, and transparency across financial transactions.
Safe App Standard: Developed by the Cyber Security Agency (CSA) of Singapore, the Safe App Standard sets out best practices for securing mobile apps.
It is intended to help app developers and providers counter mobile malware and scam exploits. The standard covers such areas as authentication, storage, anti-tampering, cryptography, and code quality and exploit mitigation. Q-mast performs full-spectrum testing to detect hidden risks and ensure apps meet Singapore’s national baseline for security and trust.
PCI: PCI DSS is a global security standard that protects payment card data by defining strict requirements for how it’s stored, processed, and transmitted.
It impacts mobile app security by requiring encryption, secure coding, and rigorous controls to prevent cardholder data exposure through mobile applications. Q-mast helps by identifying insecure data flows, risky SDKs, and vulnerabilities within mobile apps that could lead to noncompliance or data breaches.
Shared Responsibility Framework: This clarifies how responsibility and financial liability are distributed in cases of phishing or digitally enabled scams with Singapore.
The Shared Responsibility Framework (SRF) views financial institutions as having primary responsibility, being first in line to compensate victims if they breach their duties. Q-mast uncovers vulnerabilities and weaknesses, helping financial organizations strengthen app defenses and reduce fraud exposure before release.

FAQs
How do financial institutions detect and prevent mobile app data leaks?
Financial institutions detect and prevent mobile app data leaks by continuously analyzing how apps collect, transmit, and store sensitive information. Traditional testing focuses on code vulnerabilities, but modern mobile threats often stem from SDKs, third-party APIs, or misconfigured data flows. Quokka’s Q-mast identifies insecure storage, weak encryption, and unintended data exposure during development so that issues can be fixed before they’re released.
What tools help banks assess mobile SDK risk exposure?
SDKs embedded in mobile apps can introduce hidden data flows, third-party tracking, or outdated libraries that expose customer or financial data. Q-mast automatically inventories and analyzes SDKs during testing to uncover vulnerabilities, unapproved data sharing, or compliance conflicts. Q-scout extends that visibility to apps on employees’ devices, flagging risky SDK behaviors, version drift, or malicious updates that could lead to a breach.
Why is continuous mobile app vetting critical for fintech and banking security?
Mobile threats evolve fast. A single app update or new SDK version can introduce risk, even in previously “safe” apps. Continuous mobile app vetting ensures that every mobile app used by employees remains compliant and secure. Q-scout delivers automated, behavior-driven mobile app vetting that detects emerging threats like app collusion, credential theft, and zero-day malware before they cause brand and financial damage. For regulated financial institutions, this continuous approach also supports ongoing risk-management.
How can CISOs gain continuous visibility into mobile app risk across the financial ecosystem?
CISOs need more than periodic penetration tests; they need real-time visibility into every mobile app that touches customer or corporate data. With hundreds of internal, third-party, and partner apps in use, blind spots can quickly turn into compliance violations or fraud entry points. Quokka’s Q-scout delivers continuous monitoring and risk scoring across all apps used by employees, integrating directly with MDM/UEM solutions. Combined with Q-mast’s pre-deployment testing, CISOs get an end-to-end view of mobile exposure, enabling proactive governance instead of reactive response.
Mobile security that makes you smile.
