AI Security Review Services

We perform AI security reviews for assistants and agents: injection and leakage testing, tool permission audits, and actionable remediation so production rollout is safer.

Security-first AI integrations • Evals + logging + guardrails included

Overview

What this service is

We review your AI system like an attacker would: prompts, retrieval, tool surface area, auth boundaries, secrets handling, and UX flows that can be exploited.

Findings are delivered as a prioritized list with fixes, not vague risk statements—so engineering teams can remediate quickly.

We can also add regression tests and monitoring so the same classes of issues don’t reappear after new features ship.

Benefits

What you get

Lower risk of prompt injection incidents

Identify and mitigate exploit paths before they reach users.

Reduced data exposure

Permission boundaries and retrieval filters are validated against leakage scenarios.

Safer tool-enabled automation

Tool schemas, allowlists, and approval steps are audited for misuse risks.

Actionable remediation

A fix plan helps you prioritize changes that materially reduce risk.

Better governance posture

Audit logs and monitoring recommendations support ongoing security and compliance needs.

Features

What we deliver

Threat model and attack surface map

Identify risk points across prompts, retrieval, tools, and user flows.

Prompt injection testing

Adversarial inputs to test instruction bypass, data exfiltration, and tool misuse.

Data access and leakage review

Validate permissions, filters, and sensitive data handling in retrieval and tool calls.

Tool permission audit

Review schemas, allowlists, and approval steps for actions that change systems or data.

Logging and monitoring recommendations

Add signals and alerts for risky patterns and unexpected behaviour in production.

Remediation plan

Prioritized fixes with implementation notes for engineering teams.

Process

How we work

1
1–3 days

Architecture review

We map your current workflows, tools, and access model to define the review scope.

2
3–7 days

Security testing

We run injection and leakage tests across prompts, retrieval, and tool calls.

3
2–4 days

Findings + fix plan

We deliver issues, severity, and recommended remediations with implementation guidance.

4
1–3 weeks

Optional hardening

We can implement guardrails, monitoring, and regression tests as part of delivery.

Use Cases

Who this is for

Pre-launch AI security assessment

Run a focused review before opening access to customers or internal teams.

Tool-enabled agents

Audit action boundaries and reduce the risk of unintended or malicious operations.

Internal knowledge assistants

Validate role-based access and prevent leakage across teams or departments.

Post-incident hardening

Identify root causes and implement controls that prevent repeats after an issue occurs.

Vendor and provider review

Assess where third-party services introduce risk and how to isolate them safely.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

This is an engineering security review focused on AI-specific risks. Independent third-party audits can be added if your compliance program requires them.

Yes. We test with representative tool schemas and permission boundaries so findings reflect real production behaviour.

We provide a clear remediation plan. If you want, we can also implement the fixes and add regression tests.

Yes. We can implement secrets isolation, allowlists, throttling, and monitoring aligned to your deployment model.

Many reviews can complete in 1–2 weeks depending on tool surface area and complexity.

Regional

Delivery considerations for your region

Compliance & Data (AU)

For Australian teams, we keep privacy and data-handling explicit: access boundaries, safe logging, and clear retention policies.

We can support residency-sensitive designs (where feasible) and document data flows for stakeholder review.

  • Privacy Act-aware delivery posture (generic, no legal claims)
  • Documented data flows and access boundaries
  • Retention/deletion options where required
  • PII-safe logging and least-privilege defaults
  • NDA and DPA templates available on request

Timezone & Collaboration (APAC)

We support APAC collaboration with AEST/AEDT-friendly meeting windows and async progress updates.

We keep momentum with weekly milestones, crisp priorities, and predictable release planning.

  • APAC overlap with AEST/AEDT windows
  • Async-first updates and written decisions
  • Weekly milestone demos and scope control
  • Release planning with staged rollouts
  • Clear escalation path for blockers

Engagement & Procurement (AU)

We can structure engagements with clear scope, milestones, and invoicing that fits common procurement expectations.

If you need a lightweight vendor onboarding pack, we can provide delivery process notes and security posture summaries.

  • AUD-based engagements and invoicing options
  • Milestone-based billing for fixed-scope work
  • Time-and-materials for evolving scope
  • Procurement-friendly documentation on request
  • Optional paid discovery to de-risk delivery

Security & Quality (APAC)

With APAC teams, async clarity matters: written decisions, stable releases, and test coverage that prevents regressions.

We use performance budgets and release checklists so handoffs stay smooth across timezones.

  • CI-friendly testing: unit + integration + smoke tests
  • Performance budgets + bundle checks
  • Release checklist + rollback plan for production launches
  • Security checklist for auth and sensitive data flows
  • Observability hooks (logs + error tracking) ready for production
