Top Penetration Testing Companies in Thailand 2026: An Honest Comparison
Search "top penetration testing companies Thailand" and most of what ranks is written by firms with no office in Thailand, no Thai clients, and no idea who actually delivers engagements here. They rank themselves first, pad the list with companies that resell vulnerability scans, and call it research.
We are a penetration testing company in Bangkok, so we have the opposite problem: we know this market well, and we have an obvious conflict of interest writing about it. Here is how we handled that. Reconix is on this list because leaving ourselves out would be false modesty, but we do not rank ourselves above anyone. The list is grouped by what each firm is actually built for, every factual claim comes from the company's own published material or official Department of Business Development registration records, and we tell you plainly where another firm is the better choice. These are the teams we see in real RFPs, and some of them beat us in deals.
How We Built This List
Three filters decided who appears here:
- Real delivery presence in Thailand. A local entity or an established Thai delivery team. Firms that fly consultants in for a week and invoice from abroad are a different product.
- Manual testing capability. The firm performs hands-on exploitation work. Companies that run Nessus and bind the output into a report are selling vulnerability scans, whatever the proposal says. The difference matters: see our breakdown of vulnerability assessment vs. penetration testing.
- Public evidence. Published research, conference talks, competition results, named certifications, or verifiable accreditations. Marketing copy alone did not qualify anyone.
No company paid to be here, and nobody was contacted before publication. The list is also not the whole market: Thailand has more capable teams than the ones we name, and new ones appear every year. If you represent a firm we missed and you pass the three filters, write to us.

Registration years come from Department of Business Development records, checked company by company. Where a firm's own history starts earlier than its registration, we say so in its entry. Now the detail, grouped by what you are actually buying.
Boutique Offensive Teams
These firms do testing as the core business. The people who sell the engagement are close to the people who type the commands. If your priority is finding the vulnerabilities that matter in a custom application or a bank-grade environment, this category is where depth lives.
Reconix (us)
Bangkok, founded 2022, merged with Web3 security firm Inspex in 2024. We only do offensive work: penetration testing, red teaming, smart contract audits, and AI/LLM security testing. Over 500 projects delivered since 2022, including banks within Thailand's D-SIB group. Our testers hold OSCP, OSCP+, OSWE, eWPT, eMAPT, and CRTA, and we publish the exam reviews on this blog so you can judge the team's level yourself. Competition record: Thailand Cyber Top Talent winners in 2021, 2022, 2024, and 2025, Cyber SEA Game winners in 2019 and 2021, and top-20 global finishes at Paradigm CTF. Engagements follow our published PROVE methodology.
We are also part of the Bay Computing and Beryl 8 group of companies, so the offensive team you hire here connects to full cybersecurity solutions through BAYCOMS and blue team capability through ECOP. Reconix itself stays offensive-only: if your core need is a 24/7 SOC or a compliance consulting program, we hand you to the right arm of the group instead of stretching ourselves into it.
MAYASEVEN
Bangkok with a Singapore office. Their own history starts in 2012, with the company registered in 2017, and either date makes them one of the longest-running dedicated pentest teams in Thailand. They report over 500 completed projects and clients across the SET50 and SET100, and the company itself is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and ISO 9001 certified. Scope covers web, mobile, infrastructure, IoT, and red teaming. A safe shortlist entry for any large Thai enterprise, and a firm we respect when we meet them in an RFP.
Incognito Lab
Bangkok. Their history starts in 2012, with the company registered in 2016. Penetration testing, red teaming, consulting, and training, with engagements delivered in Thailand, APAC, and the EU. A co-founder presented research at Black Hat São Paulo in 2014, among the first Thai speakers to do so.
Datafarm
Bangkok, registered in 2012, a team of 80+ with a corresponding number of certifications. Core services are VA, penetration testing, and red team assessment, and unlike most boutiques they also run managed services: threat hunting, incident response, MSSP. Their team publishes Thai-language technical write-ups regularly, which is the kind of public evidence we filtered for. One vendor for both offensive testing and ongoing monitoring is their pitch, and at that team size it is credible.
Secure D
Operating since 2018 from Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur. The specialization is mobile: bypassing root detection, SSL pinning, and end-to-end encryption controls in real banking apps, plus an unusual niche in biometric liveness and presentation attack detection testing, covering deepfake injection and replay attacks. Members of OWASP and the 2600Thailand community. If your product is a mobile app with face or fingerprint authentication, they belong on your shortlist next to us.
Siam Thanat Hack (STH)
Bangkok, trading as สยามถนัดแฮก, which translates roughly to "Siam is good at hacking". A white-hat team focused on logic and design flaws in custom web and mobile applications, with engagement history covering banks and telcos in Thailand plus work in Vietnam, the US, and Germany. Registered in 2018. The public evidence is hard to argue with: the team cites Flare-On reverse engineering challenge wins in 2017 and 2018, and they run สอนแฮกเว็บแบบแมวๆ, the largest Thai-language web hacking community on Facebook. Even their service tiers have personality: Poring, Lunatic, and Creamy.
SnoopBees
A smaller Bangkok shop, registered in 2017. Penetration testing, vulnerability scanning, source code review, and secure-coding training, but the reason they made the cut is the research: public CVE advisories for vulnerabilities the team found itself, authentication bypasses through remote code execution in enterprise software. If you want the people who break apps to also train your developers, that combination is rare.
SecStrike
Offices in Thailand and the UK, with the Thai entity registered in 2024, the youngest firm on this list. The differentiator is the delivery model: pentest as a service through their own platform, pairing manual testing with AI-assisted automation and real-time reporting, alongside VA, red teaming, phishing simulation, and incident response. Built for teams that are done with the annual-engagement-and-a-PDF model and want continuous, platform-managed testing instead.
McAiden Consulting
Bangkok, registered in 2022. A deliberately lean penetration testing team whose flagship service is mobile application testing, alongside desktop application and wireless network assessments. They pitch the small structure as a way to keep pricing reasonable, and for a tightly scoped mobile engagement that math can work in your favor. Worth a look when the target is a mobile app and you want senior hands without big-firm overhead.
Hacktivate
Bangkok, registered in 2020. Web, mobile, and network penetration testing plus vulnerability assessment and source code review. The certification spread is wide for a boutique, OSCP, OSCE, OSWE, GXPN, CRTO, and BSCP among them, and that particular mix, exploit development plus white-box web, is what deep application testing actually runs on. Team members have also mentored at the Cyber Warrior Hackathon.
Regional and International Firms
ECQ
Headquartered in Thailand as E-CQURITY (Thailand), registered in 2008, the oldest registration on this list, with presence in Singapore, Vietnam, and the USA. The work is offensive-led: penetration testing, adversary simulation covering both before and after initial access, OT/ICS security, and training. A CREST member accredited for penetration testing. Their natural buyer is a regulated or multi-country organization that wants red team depth and an accreditation procurement can point to.
Vantage Point Security
Singapore headquarters, established 2014, with offices in Singapore, Thailand, and Indonesia. CREST-accredited, ISO 27001 certified, and licensed by Singapore's CSRO, with a heavy banking and financial services focus and consultants who contributed to the OWASP mobile security testing standards. They report more than 80,000 hours of penetration testing annually across the region. If you are a regional bank whose vendor file must show CREST and you want one provider across Southeast Asia, this is the name procurement lands on.
The Big 4
Deloitte, EY, KPMG, and PwC all sell penetration testing in Thailand, usually inside larger risk advisory engagements. You get global methodology, brand recognition your audit committee already trusts, and pricing to match. Two things to check before signing: who actually performs the testing (partner firms and junior rotations are common), and whether the testing budget survives once the advisory fees are carved out. For pure testing depth per baht, the boutiques above are the stronger buy.
How to Actually Choose
Whoever you shortlist, the same four checks separate real testing from scan reselling:
- Ask who will be on your engagement. Names and certifications of the actual testers, not the company trophy cabinet. If they will not tell you, walk.
- Ask for a redacted sample report. Every firm on this list should produce one. Judge the reproduction steps and business impact analysis, ignore the page count.
- Ask what percentage of the work is manual. Then ask for an example of a business logic vulnerability they found this year. Scanner resellers cannot answer the second question.
- Compare scope, then price. A ฿80,000 "pentest" and a ฿350,000 pentest are different products wearing the same name. Manual web application testing in Thailand realistically starts around ฿150,000. Our pricing guide breaks down the ranges by service type.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many penetration testing companies are there in Thailand? The twelve firms above all have genuine in-house manual testing capability, and they are not the whole market: more capable teams exist that we have not named. What outnumbers both is the long tail of IT integrators and resellers that subcontract or rebrand scanner output as penetration testing.
Do Thai regulators require a CREST-accredited testing firm? No. BOT, PDPA, SEC, and OIC frameworks require independent, qualified testing but do not mandate CREST or any specific company accreditation. CREST matters mainly for Singapore-linked institutions.
Should I choose a local Thai firm or an international provider? For systems regulated in Thailand, local firms bring BOT and PDPA reporting experience, Thai-language debriefs for your developers, and on-site availability at 30 to 50 percent lower cost. International firms make sense for multi-country programs that need one methodology everywhere.
How much does a penetration test cost in Thailand? Realistic manual testing starts around ฿150,000 to ฿300,000 for a small web application and scales with scope. Quotes far below ฿100,000 are usually automated scans in a pentest costume. Full breakdown in our pricing guide.
The Short Version
- This list is a starting point, not a census. Twelve verified firms are here, more exist, and most "top companies in Thailand" lists you will find were written by none of them.
- Match the firm type to the job. Boutiques for depth on critical systems, regionals for cross-border banking, the Big 4 when the audit committee insists on the name.
- The four checks work on everyone, including us. Named testers, sample report, manual percentage, scope-matched pricing.
Evaluating providers right now? Contact Reconix and ask us the hard questions: who will test your system, what they hold, and what they have broken before. We publish half the answers on this blog already.
