AI Security Review

We review the security of LLM/RAG/agent systems: prompt injection, data leakage, tool permissions, logging, and deployment posture. You receive a prioritized report and a clear mitigation plan your team can ship. Delivery aligned to Canada teams (CAD).

Overview

What this service is

An AI security review focuses on risks unique to LLM apps: prompt injection, unsafe tool use, retrieval leakage, and untrusted output paths.

We threat-model your system end-to-end and test real failure modes against your data sources, tools, and policies.

Delivery includes an actionable report, recommended guardrails, and implementation guidance (or we can implement fixes with you).

Standard

AI delivery standard

Quality and safety practices we ship with AI builds so the system stays measurable, maintainable, and production-ready.

Logging + tracing

Conversation and tool traces with request IDs, error visibility, and debug-friendly runbooks.

Guardrails + safety

Tool allowlists, PII-safe patterns, refusal behavior, and escalation routes for edge cases.

Evals + regression tests

Golden queries, scorecards, and regression checks so quality improves over time instead of drifting.

Cost + latency controls

Caching, prompt discipline, retrieval tuning, and routing so your app stays fast and predictable at scale.

Documentation + handoff

Architecture notes, environment setup, and next-step roadmap so your team can iterate safely after launch.

Security-first integration

Secrets isolation, role-based access, audit-friendly actions, and minimal data retention by design.

Benefits

What you get

Identify prompt injection and data leakage risks

Reduce unsafe tool action surfaces

Improve audit readiness with logs and controls

Clarify privacy and retention posture

Prioritize fixes with clear severity ranking

Ship mitigations with minimal product disruption

Features

What we deliver

Threat model + attack surface mapping

We map data sources, tools, prompts, and user entry points to identify the highest-risk areas.

Prompt injection testing

Adversarial inputs to validate context separation, tool controls, and policy enforcement under real attacks.

RAG leakage checks

Test retrieval filtering, tenant isolation, and permission enforcement to prevent cross-user data exposure.

Tool permission review

Review allowlists, parameter validation, approvals, and RBAC to ensure actions are safe and minimal.

Logging and retention review

Validate what’s logged and stored, ensure PII handling is sane, and recommend safe retention policies.

Actionable remediation plan

Prioritized fixes with practical implementation steps and acceptance criteria.

Use Cases

Who this is for

Security review before enterprise rollout

Validate your AI system’s security posture before enabling broader access and higher-risk tools.

Agent tool access hardening

Reduce the risk of agents taking unsafe actions via strict allowlists and approval patterns.

Permissioned RAG hardening

Confirm retrieval filters and tenant isolation prevent private document leakage.

Incident response improvement

Add logging and monitoring so failures are visible and actionable during incidents.

Compliance-aligned logging and retention

Validate retention and logging behavior to reduce privacy exposure without losing debugging power.

AI Case Examples

Micro case studies (anonymous)

A few safe examples of outcomes we build for real operations—no client names, just results.

Secure Mobile Solution in Australian Defence Ecosystem

Problem: Secure data workflows were required in a regulated environment with strict access controls.

Solution: Hardened architecture with strict auth, encrypted storage, and audit-friendly engineering patterns.

Outcome: Deployed securely within a regulated ecosystem with clear handoff and operational guidance.

AI Knowledge Base Across 2,000+ Pages

Problem: Teams needed fast answers across long PDFs, but search was slow and results were inconsistent.

Solution: RAG with hybrid retrieval and reranking, plus grounded answers and safer fallback behavior.

Outcome: Reliable answers with <10s response times and measurable improvements on real queries.

Ops Automation with AI + n8n

Problem: Manual approvals and CRM syncing created delays and data inconsistencies across tools.

Solution: Event-driven automation with validation gates and AI-assisted classification where it improved routing.

Outcome: Reduced manual workload significantly with more reliable workflows and operator visibility.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Yes. We test prompt injection and adversarial inputs and validate that policies and tool controls hold under attack-like behavior.

Yes. We review retrieval filtering, tenant isolation, and access enforcement to reduce leakage risks.

Yes. We can provide an implementation plan or directly help ship mitigations with your team.

Architecture docs and code access (or a walkthrough), plus information about your data sources, tools, and deployment environment.

Yes. You get a prioritized findings report with recommended mitigations and acceptance criteria.

Regional

Delivery considerations for your region

Compliance & Data (Canada)

For Canadian teams, we focus on practical privacy and security: least-privilege access, clear boundaries, and reviewable operational controls.

We can align implementation with SOC 2 / ISO-friendly practices (without claiming certification) and support documented data flows.

  • SOC 2 / ISO-friendly patterns (no certification claims)
  • Least-privilege access and secure session handling
  • Retention/deletion and export flows where required
  • PII-safe logging + access boundary documentation
  • NDA and vendor onboarding docs on request

Timezone & Collaboration (North America)

We work with Canadian teams with North America overlap and meeting windows that fit your schedule.

Delivery stays predictable via weekly milestones, async updates, and clearly documented decisions.

  • North America overlap and responsive communication
  • Async-first updates with written scope decisions
  • Weekly milestone demos and progress checkpoints
  • Clear escalation path for blockers
  • Tight change control with clear sign-offs

Engagement & Procurement (Canada)

We support procurement-friendly delivery: clear scope, change control, and billing cadence aligned to milestones when appropriate.

We can invoice in CAD for CAD-based engagements where required.

  • CAD-based engagements and invoicing options
  • Milestone-based billing and scope sign-offs
  • Time-and-materials for evolving requirements
  • Vendor onboarding pack on request
  • Optional paid discovery to de-risk delivery

Security & Quality (North America)

We keep quality visible: clean PRs, reviewable changes, and test coverage that matches the risk of each feature.

Performance budgets and release discipline help maintain stability as the product scales.

  • CI-friendly testing: unit + integration + smoke tests
  • Performance budgets + bundle checks
  • Structured release notes + rollback-safe deployments
  • Security checklist for auth, roles, and data flows
  • Observability hooks (logs + error tracking) ready for production
