Designed a mobile app that reveals hidden app data access, turning complexity into transparency and control.
-
A mobile app that transforms complex data usage into clear insights for both consumers and enterprises.
Simplifying mobile privacy for users, strengthening security for businesses.
Turning invisible risks into actionable steps for safety and compliance.
-
Offer a free, friendly mobile app to build trust with consumers, while using it as a gateway to sell an enterprise desktop portal for advanced security analysis and compliance.
Hypothesis
If we translate technical app data into easy-to-understand safety signals for consumers and actionable risk controls for enterprises, both audiences will feel more secure and empowered.
Problem Statement
For consumers (B2C): the information is overly simple or technical, leaving them unsure whether their device is safe.
For enterprises (B2B): IT and security teams lack visibility into how employee apps may compromise company data, making compliance and risk management challenging.
Research
User Interviews Interviewed 10 users to uncover specific challenges.
Stakeholder Interviews Conducted a design sprint with key stakeholders to align on the problem, rapidly explore solutions, and validate concepts before moving into detailed design
Competitive Analysis Examined existing mobile cybersecurity apps to identify gaps in how they communicate risks — most tools overwhelm users with technical details, while few translate data into clear safety signals or actionable steps, especially across both consumer and enterprise needs..
Design Sprint
The sprint not only aligned stakeholders around a dual-product strategy (free B2C app + paid B2B portal) but also de-risked the design direction early, saving time and resources in development.
User journey mapping
Defined and build the flow the core problem of surfacing complex app data in a way that’s meaningful for both consumers and enterprises.
Outcomes
To address the different needs of consumers and enterprises, we designed two tailored versions of the app.
By separating the experiences, each audience receives the right level of information — peace of mind for individuals, control and compliance for organizations — without overloading or underserving either group.
Consumer version
Focused on simplicity, reassurance, and guidance. Users see a clear “Safe / At Risk” status, summaries of which apps are accessing sensitive data, and easy next steps like revoking permissions or uninstalling apps.
Enterprise version
Built for IT and security managers, with aggregated visibility across employee devices. It provides filtering, policy enforcement, detailed risk reports, and exportable compliance documentation.
