Systems and methods for analyzing applications (“apps”) on a mobile device for security risks for a company while maintaining the mobile device owner's privacy and confidentiality concerning the applications. The mobile device may be a user's personal device (a “bring your own device”). In an example method, a process generates one or more cryptographic representations of application information for each application on the mobile device. The cryptographic representations may comprise a hash or composite hash. The cryptographic representations may be transmit outside the mobile device to a system which makes a determination and provides an indication whether the application is permitted or not permitted for use at the company. The company can be associated with a hashed permitted or not permitted list. The application information can include application name, executable code, and a version number. The method may include automatically remediating the application if it matches a known risk.
