We are happy to be able to announce that hide.me VPN has passed an independent MASA audit! This ensures our users can continue to trust hide.me VPN regarding their privacy and security.
What is MASA?
The Mobile Application Security Assessment (MASA) is a coordinated effort to help improve the security of apps on mobile. Apps are tested on several criteria including authentication, information handling, encryption implementation, and much more.
The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is the community behind the certification. A non-profit organisation that was founded back in 2001. OWASP has no formal employees, but a community of people who come together to create best practices and certifications such as MASA to improve security and privacy for everyone.
If you would like to learn more, check out the App Defense Alliance website. It goes in-depth technically about MASA.
How MASA is Implemented
Because we have passed our MASA audit, we have also earned the “Independent Security Review” badge. This badge is a new addition to the Google Play Store that shows if an app has passed a MASA audit, and therefore trustworthy to use.
You can check out our brand-new shiny badge on our Google Play Store page!
