IT Security Assessment of an International Stockbroker Platform with Real-Time Data, Mobile App and TAN App
As part of a project, we carried out a comprehensive assessment of an international online broker’s systems. The trading platform is built on a distributed microservice architecture providing real-time data via WebSockets. In addition to the platform itself, the mobile application and a dedicated TAN app for transaction authorization were analyzed.
The assessment focused on authentication mechanisms, session management, encryption of data flows, and the security of exposed API endpoints. Particular attention was given to transaction integrity and the protection of sensitive customer data against unauthorized access or manipulation. The findings provided a basis for hardening the systems and improving existing security controls.

Penetration Testing
Since 2013, we have been conducting professional penetration tests. All engagements are performed in accordance with international standards and backed by years of operational experience in penetration testing, red teaming, and offensive security. Originally rooted in the payment, finance, and banking sector, we bring extensive experience in highly regulated and security-critical environments.
As a specialized provider for professional penetration testing, we clearly distinguish between vulnerability scans and actual penetration testing. Tools are used selectively and interpreted within a clear methodology. However, decisive insights usually result from structured manual identification and analysis. We identify technical and business-critical weaknesses and subsequently assess them in a structured way based on their real-world risk. Looking for a professionally conducted penetration test with traceable results? Then binsec is your partner.
