Is this for you?

Know before you book.

We attack your AI features the way a real adversary would: tricking the model, poisoning what it reads, and abusing the tools it can use.

You likely need this if
  • You've shipped, or are about to ship, an LLM feature, chatbot or agent
  • Your AI reads documents, emails or web pages you don't control
  • Your agent can call tools, APIs or take actions on a user's behalf
  • A customer or regulator is asking how you've tested AI risk
Something else may fit better
What to have ready
  • Access to the AI feature in a test environment
  • The system prompt, tools and data sources it uses
  • What the model must never do or reveal

Still not sure? Take the 2-minute check

What you walk away with.

  • Reproducible jailbreak + injection payloads, each with a detection rule
  • OWASP LLM Top 10 + MITRE ATLAS coverage report
  • Agent tool-use blast-radius analysis with a mitigation playbook
  • ISO 42001 evidence artifacts your internal audit can use directly
Scope

What we cover

Agreed in writing before testing starts.

In scope
  • LLM-facing endpoints (chat, RAG, agent orchestrators, tool-use loops)
  • Prompt injection — direct and indirect (via tools, documents, browsing)
  • Jailbreak & policy-bypass against deployed guardrails
  • Data exfiltration via outputs, side channels, timing
  • Model supply chain — weights integrity, dataset-poisoning risk, dependency review
  • Autonomous-agent risk — unauthorized action, chained tool abuse, self-modification
Not in this engagement
  • Reverse-engineering closed-weight foundation models
  • Adversarial training / model-poisoning at scale (research engagement, separate)
Approach

How we run it.

  1. 01

    Reconnaissance / threat modeling

    Data-flow map, trust boundaries, prompt provenance. What can enter the model? What can leave?

  2. 02

    Enumeration

    Every guardrail, tool, and integration in the deployed path, catalogued.

  3. 03

    Vulnerability Analysis

    Systematic evaluation of each guardrail against ATLAS-mapped tactics; candidate bypasses identified.

  4. 04

    Exploitation

    Direct + indirect prompt injection, RAG poisoning, tool-manipulation loops. Reproducible payloads, not one-off screenshots.

  5. 05

    Post-exploitation / blast-radius

    For agentic systems: enumerate every tool, quantify what a coerced agent could actually do, measure containment.

  6. 06

    Report + evidence

    Findings + reproduction harness + detection rules + ISO 42001 evidence pack.

For practitioners

Questions

Asked before every engagement.

Do you support open-weight models we host ourselves?

Yes. We test the deployed inference path, guardrails, and orchestration — the model provenance is irrelevant to the attack surface.

Can this satisfy ISO 42001 audit requirements?

The evidence pack is built to feed ISO 42001 AI-system-lifecycle and impact-assessment controls directly. It's designed to be handed to your auditor as third-party assurance.

How is agent testing different from LLM testing?

Agents multiply blast radius by tool count. A prompt injection that's a curiosity in a plain chatbot becomes an unauthorized transaction in a banking agent. We test the whole loop, not just the prompt.
