Am I Secure? performs forensic analysis of your iPhone or iPad to find signs of compromise. If you are a journalist, activist, executive, lawyer, government official or anyone with reason to think you may be of interest to a sophisticated adversary, this app is built for you. The same applies if you hold digital assets in self-custody. The device holding your keys is the target, and that device is what Am I Secure? examines.
WHAT A COMPROMISED DEVICE MEANS
Your whole life is on your phone. Private messages, email, photos, contacts, financial information. If you can read it, so can someone who has compromised the device. Encryption protects your messages in transit; it does not protect anything once the device itself is under someone else's control. An attacker in that position can read your messages before they are encrypted and after they are decrypted, see your location, take your stored credentials, and reach any account you are signed in to. They can listen through the microphone to conversations in the room, record through the camera, and follow your movements. There is generally no way to tell from using the device.
WHY THIS REQUIRES A DIFFERENT APPROACH
iOS is among the most secure consumer platforms available. iOS does not let any app, including security apps, look outside its own container or "sandbox". No security app on your device can inspect the processes, the filesystem, or the behavior of the rest of the system. That is a deliberate security property of the platform, and it is why an app running on your phone can only report on your settings, not on what is actually running.
Am I Secure? works differently. You generate a system diagnostic "sysdiagnose" file using the tool built into iOS. That file is produced by the operating system itself, not by us, and it contains a detailed record of processes, logs, and system state. You share that file with the app, which uploads it to our servers. We analyze it and report what we find.
The diagnostic file is end-to-end encrypted on your device before it is uploaded and stays encrypted until it reaches hardware we own and operate in our own facilities in Canada and the European Union (EU). It is not decrypted or accessible by any third party, including intermediary data center and network operators. Once analysis is complete the file is deleted.
A HUMAN REVIEWS ANYTHING UNUSUAL
Where our automated analysis flags something, our team examines the results by hand before anything is reported to you. The same automated analysis pipeline is used by our government clients via our on-premises Private Protection suite.
WE LOOK FOR ANOMALIES, NOT JUST KNOWN INDICATORS
Most detection tools match against published indicators of compromise. The moment those indicators become public, the operators behind commercial surveillance tools change their software to avoid them, and signature matching stops working against the new version. We compare your device against a baseline of expected iOS behavior instead. That can surface anomalies that do not match public indicators.

I engaged Numbersstation approx. a month ago after a massive hack of multiple devices, including WiFi and camera security devices. It has been comforting having highly technical agents working with us, side by side transcending cyberspace, responding rapidly and offering solutions. I am grateful for the personalized support I have received as my situation is rather unusual. I wish I had had the “Am I Secure?” app running 24/7 a decade ago when I first began to be targeted. The only way to catch these predators and get them to cease their attacks is to take hard evidence to the authorities. Document your every hack folks before you delete and factory reset. Do you not wish to know what hit you? It informs you as to how you shall proceed. Do you need to just change passwords , go to the extent of factory resets or start all over with new technology? It depends on what happed. Install this app BEFORE you get hit again. This is the first review I have felt compelled to write, exactly because of how diligently these folks have been working to take the pressure off of those of us who have been continuously stalked/hunted over years. We need this kind of help.
Awesome!! A MUST HAVE!

I was severely hacked. I’ve been hacked before on my iPhones and recently I went through three phones over six phone numbers several emails changing all my passwords and I had no idea that this application even existed. I ended up putting my phone in lockdown mode, and just the fact that this application could check for Pegasus, puts me at ease to know that it help helps. Keep my phone safe. The technical support is amazing. I even emailed them on New Year’s Day and the technical staff got back to me twice. This is a well worth it app and a must have for anyone that wants security, needs security and or both.
Best App on AppStore
BEST security app ever!
I’ve never written a review before but HAD to for this one. Hands-down best security app on the store if not best app period. If you have any concern over your phone’s security this is a must have. Detailed, informative, thorough. Customer service is top notch. You can tell they put their heart into this app. Worth every penny and way more. Honestly can’t believe it’s this cheap to get a forensic analysis. So thankful I found this. Wish I had it years ago. Thank you!!!
Excellent app

I like this app for multiple reasons but the main ones it’s very thorough and there’s no fluff. Unlike other well-known spyware apps, this one does what is supposed to do and that is it, you know right away if there’s any issues. you don’t have to have it continuously running like some apps. Another great thing is there is no hidden cost you pay for it and you use it, that’s it.
- support for iOS 27
- support for iPhone 18 Pro & Pro Max series
- new device details section showing processor security features
- no limit on the number of scans with a subscription, i.e. prior once a day limit removed
- improved sysdiagnose sharing process for first time users, sign in directly from the upload screen rather than going to app settings
- minor tweaks and fixes
