Be Aware & Prepare- Independent Security Reviews Build User Trust
summary
Independent MASA validation offers a Play Store badge after a 2–3 day level‑one assessment against OASp MASVS, with testing showing 150 apps tested and those apps totaling 220 billion downloads; typical results report a 4.8/5 satisfaction score, about two fixes needed per test, and remediation taking longer. Common failures: 75% fail cryptographic misconfiguration, 85% fail because of third‑party SDKs, and 80% fail code‑quality release checks. App Defense Alliance labs run the independent reviews and Google is moving toward wider MASA incentives or mandates.
