Astorg

A clearer view of mobile app risk.

Challenge

Assess business apps without getting in the way of productivity.

Approach

Mobile application testing, clear ratings and continuous monitoring.

Outcome

Better visibility of app behaviour and risk to support regulatory preparation.

How Astorg strengthened oversight of its iOS applications while preparing for DORA.

01 / The challenge

Productive teams. Better-informed app decisions.

As Astorg prepared for the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), it wanted to strengthen cyber-resilience across 275 iOS devices. Business applications were essential to its teams, but an app’s presence in Apple’s ecosystem did not answer every question about vulnerabilities, malware or privacy.

Managing billions of euros for investors made risk oversight a priority. The firm needed a practical way to assess the applications it deployed and support the wider work on threat intelligence, supply-chain monitoring and operational resilience.

“We needed a solution to assess the technical specifications and potential security issues with the mobile applications that we manage and deploy to our fleet.”

CTO, Astorg

The CTO added: “MobSTR had the best approach in our opinion, with a fresh vision.”

02 / The approach

Assessment that fits into the security estate.

Astorg adopted MobSTR’s SaaS application security testing and ratings platform. Its AI-based analysis, security scans and alerts helped the team assess app risk and monitor changes, with clear ratings to guide investigation and remediation. The platform supports both iOS and Android applications.

“Deployment has been absolutely seamless. The MobSTR team is always accessible and willing to listen to our needs or suggestions. They implemented a few new functionalities that we suggested very quickly.”

CTO, Astorg
03 / The outcome

Visibility that supports resilience.

MobSTR gave Astorg a clearer understanding of the applications in its estate and the risks they introduced. That evidence supported its preparations for DORA while helping staff continue to use the tools they needed.

“We now have a better vision of the applications we deploy and a better risk management platform. We’re more aware of what the applications we use do and what risks are involved.”

CTO, Astorg

Speaking before DORA applied, the CTO added: “This helps us meet our regulatory requirements, especially with DORA that will come into effect soon.”
