What's inside this engagement
Phase by phase.
How a ai red teaming & ai security testing engagement runs, what happens in each phase and what you see. Exact scope, tier and timeline are fixed in your proposal and SOW.
01Architecture & threat model
Models, system prompts, retrieval sources, tools/MCP servers, memory and permissions mapped as trust boundaries.
You see · Architecture diagram and access to a test tenant.
02Attack-surface enumeration
Every input path (user, documents, web, tool results) and every action the agent can take is catalogued.
You see · Confirmation of in-scope tools and data.
03Adversarial testing
Prompt injection (direct and indirect), jailbreaks, data exfiltration, excessive agency and tool abuse, mapped to the OWASP LLM Top 10 and MITRE ATLAS.
You see · Escalation of anything exploitable in production.
04Chaining with classic weaknesses
AI findings combined with application and cloud weaknesses to show real impact.
You see · The full attack chain.
05Reporting & hardening
Reproducible transcripts, impact, and fixes at the right layer: prompt, retrieval, tool permissions or output handling.
You see · A report your AI and platform teams can act on.
Commercials
From first call to final report.
- 01
Scoping call
A practitioner, not a salesperson, walks through targets, constraints and what a good outcome looks like for you.
- 02
Proposal & rules of engagement
A fixed-scope proposal with tier, price and deliverables. Rules of engagement, contacts and out-of-bounds systems are agreed in writing.
- 03
Sign, then start
MSA and SOW are signed electronically and the deposit is paid. Only then does testing begin.
- 04
Execution
Testing runs to the agreed plan. Critical findings are escalated as they are found; you don't wait for the report.
- 05
Report & debrief
An executive summary plus technical findings with evidence, reproduction steps and fixes, walked through with your team.
- 06
Retest
Where the tier includes it, we verify your fixes and reissue the report, so auditors and customers see the issues closed.
Timelines are set per engagement in the SOW.
