The Cost of Not Testing: Regulatory Penalties for Security Failures cho Doanh nghiệp Việt Nam

Regulators worldwide are imposing significant penalties for inadequate security. Examples across APAC, EU, and the Middle East. Guidance for VN market.

Regulatory penalties for cybersecurity failures are increasing globally. Notable examples include: Thailand's PDPC imposing fines totalling THB 21.5 million across five cases in August 2025, with insufficient security measures cited as a core finding. Australia's SOCI Act carrying penalties up to AUD 15.6 million. Vietnam's PDPL introducing fines up to 5% of annual revenue. The EU's GDPR enabling fines up to 4% of global annual turnover. These penalties make the cost of regular penetration testing trivial by comparison — a single assessment that prevents a breach pays for itself many times over. Our reports provide the documented evidence of security testing that demonstrates due diligence to regulators.
