What Wattlecorp Cybersecurity Labs LLP does

Wattlecorp Cybersecurity Labs LLP is a private cybersecurity services firm founded in 2018 and organized as a limited liability partnership registered in India, with its principal base in Kozhikode, Kerala and operations across 9 office locations including Bangalore, Kochi, Dubai, Riyadh, Singapore, London, Doha, and the United States. The company delivers offensive-security and managed-security services — Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT), web, mobile, API, network, and cloud application security testing, SOC/MDR/threat hunting, and industrial (IoT/OT/ICS-SCADA) security — alongside compliance consulting spanning ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, SAMA, Aramco CCC, ADHICS, SIA/NESA, SWIFT CSP, DORA, and India/UAE/Qatar data-protection laws. Its penetration testers hold CREST, CEH, and OSCP credentials, and the firm holds ISO 27001 certification and has been publicly credited by Fortune 500 buyers including Walmart, Tesla, Intel, Bentley, Mercedes-Benz, BBC, JPMorgan, Dell, Nokia, Domino's, and Pinterest for vulnerability discovery.

The business is primarily professional-services-led with engagement pricing ranging from AED 10,000 to over AED 350,000 for a UAE web-application pentest and SAR 20,000 to SAR 40,000 in Saudi Arabia. A subscription-based Annual Security Program with monthly/annual memberships adds a recurring-revenue layer, and the firm also sells two named product SKUs — Wattlecorp Security Suite and Wattlefort — alongside managed SOC, MDR, and Cyber Threat Intelligence subscriptions. Go-to-market is enterprise-field-sales with country-specific websites, localized phone numbers, and consultation-booking CTAs across seven-plus countries, supplemented by content marketing, SEO, social channels, and high-profile industry events (RSAC 2026, Black Hat MEA 2025, Convergence India Expo 2026, Huddle Global 2025).

The firm remains founder-led (Zuhair E., CEO & Co-Founder), bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding or parent company, and operates a wholly-owned Qatar subsidiary (Wattlecorp Cyber Risk Management Services LLC). Customer logos span financial services, automotive, technology, media, telecommunications, retail, government, fintech, healthtech, e-commerce, HR technology, and logistics — a breadth that signals active diversification rather than reliance on a single industry vertical. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
