Anti Spy Android Receives DEKRA MASA L1 Certification: World’s Only Antispyware App Double-Certified by AV-TEST and DEKRA
Double Accolade for Comprehensive Security
By earning the DEKRA MASA L1 certificate, Anti Spy not only demonstrates its outstanding threat detection and defense capabilities but also fulfills strict security requirements in accordance with the OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS) at Level 1. Back in 2024, the app had already received AV-TEST certification for its impressive malware detection rate of 99.87%, proving its superiority even over traditional antivirus solutions.
“The DEKRA MASA L1 certification is further proof of our commitment to providing users with the most secure and reliable solution against spyware,” says Chris Bohn, CEO of Protectstar™. “Following the AV-TEST seal of approval, this is the second high-caliber accolade that underscores our spirit of innovation and our dedication to top-tier data security.”
Technical Evaluation According to OWASP Standard
As part of its Mobile Application Security Assessment (MASA) at Level L1, DEKRA evaluated essential security controls. The independent testing authority confirmed that Anti Spy contains no common vulnerabilities and successfully meets critical OWASP requirements. Users thus benefit from an all-around secure app that also handles their data with utmost care.
Key security aspects examined include:
- Data Storage and Privacy: Sensitive user data is not stored in unencrypted form, and logs do not contain confidential information.
- Cryptography: Established encryption methods protect transmissions and stored data.
- Network Communication: All data transfers are performed via encrypted connections (e.g., HTTPS/TLS).
- Minimal Permission Scope: Anti Spy only requests the permissions necessary for detecting and removing spyware components.
- Code Quality and App Integrity: External libraries and frameworks were tested for vulnerabilities and showed no security-critical flaws.
Anti Spy: Highest Detection Rate Through Dual Engine
Anti Spy combines a signature engine with the AI-based Deep Detective™ technology in the Protectstar™ AI CLOUD, enabling it to effectively detect both known and emerging spyware apps. This includes so-called stalkerware and other hidden spy tools that use highly advanced surveillance methods. Its Dual Engine provides near-complete threat detection and positions Anti Spy at the forefront of modern antispyware solutions.
AI-Based Real-Time Analysis and Ease of Use
Despite its high technical standards, Anti Spy remains extremely user-friendly. A single tap of the “SCAN” button is all it takes to thoroughly check a smartphone. The AI algorithms run in the background without overwhelming the user or collecting unnecessary data.
Uniquely Global: Certified by AV-TEST and DEKRA
- AV-TEST (2024): Highlights an exceptional malware detection rate of 99.87% and confirms the app’s high reliability.
- DEKRA MASA L1 (2025): Confirms compliance with fundamental OWASP security standards for mobile applications.
With this dual certification, Anti Spy sets new benchmarks in Android cybersecurity.
