STEP 02

Offensive AI Security Testing

Our engineers execute targeted attacks against your AI systems: prompt injection chains, RAG poisoning, agent privilege escalation, tool call hijacking, model extraction, and data exfiltration through AI-specific attack vectors. Every test is manual and context-aware.

STEP 03

Validated Findings and Remediation Guidance

Each vulnerability is documented with reproducible proof-of-concept attack chains, business impact analysis, and specific remediation steps for your AI stack. Reports are mapped to ISO 42001, OWASP LLM Top 10, and applicable regulatory frameworks.

What Is AI Security Testing?

AI security testing is a specialized security assessment that identifies vulnerabilities unique to AI-powered systems, including large language models, agentic pipelines, retrieval-augmented generation architectures, and AI-integrated applications. It goes beyond traditional application security to evaluate prompt injection, model manipulation, data poisoning, and AI supply chain risks that conventional penetration testing methods cannot detect.

What We Test: AI Attack SurfaceCoverage

Comprehensive security testing across every layer of your AI implementation, from model inputs to agentic tool chains

Prompt Injection and Jailbreaking

Direct and indirect prompt injection attacks that manipulate LLM behavior, bypass safety guardrails, and extract system prompts or confidential instructions.

Agentic Pipeline Exploitation

Multi-step attacks against AI agents that hijack tool calls, escalate agent privileges, chain actions across workflows, and abuse autonomous decision-making capabilities.

RAG Poisoning and Data Manipulation

Attacks that inject malicious content into retrieval-augmented generation knowledge bases, corrupting LLM outputs and enabling indirect prompt injection through trusted data sources.

Tool Call and Plugin Hijacking

Testing whether prompt injection or crafted inputs can force AI agents to invoke unintended tools, execute unauthorized API calls, or access systems beyond their intended scope.

AI Supply Chain Risk Assessment

Evaluation of third-party model dependencies, fine-tuning data integrity, plugin security, embedding model risks, and vulnerabilities in the AI component supply chain.

Agent Privilege Escalation

Testing whether AI agents can be manipulated to exceed their intended permissions, access restricted data, perform administrative actions, or pivot across system boundaries.

Model Data Exfiltration

Attempts to extract training data, proprietary knowledge, PII, or confidential business information from LLMs through adversarial prompting techniques and output analysis.

Output Integrity and Hallucination Exploitation

Testing whether adversaries can manipulate model outputs to produce harmful, misleading, or legally problematic content that could damage your brand or mislead users.

AI Application Integration Security

Security of the integration layer between AI components and your existing application stack, including API gateways, authentication flows, data serialization, and session management around AI features.

Methodology

8 steps. Zero guesswork.

Every engagement follows this process through Lemon, our proprietary audit management platform.

Discovery
01

AI Architecture Discovery and Threat Modeling

We begin by mapping your complete AI architecture: LLM providers, model versions, system prompts, agentic workflows, tool integrations, RAG data sources, embedding pipelines, fine-tuning datasets, and plugin dependencies. We identify trust boundaries, data flow paths, and privilege levels across all AI components. This produces a comprehensive AI threat model that guides all subsequent testing.

02

Prompt Injection and Input Manipulation Testing

We execute systematic prompt injection campaigns including direct injection, indirect injection through data sources, jailbreak techniques, system prompt extraction, instruction override, and context window manipulation. Testing covers single-turn and multi-turn attack scenarios, evaluating how well your safety guardrails, input filters, and prompt hardening hold up against real adversarial techniques.

03

Agentic Pipeline and Tool Call Exploitation

For applications with AI agents, we test the full agentic execution chain. This includes attempts to hijack tool calls through prompt manipulation, escalate agent permissions, chain tool invocations to achieve unintended outcomes, access restricted APIs through the agent, and break out of sandboxed execution environments. We simulate multi-step attack scenarios that mirror how sophisticated attackers would target autonomous AI workflows.

Testing
04

RAG Pipeline and Knowledge Base Security

We assess the security of your retrieval-augmented generation pipeline by testing for knowledge base poisoning, injection through ingested documents, manipulation of retrieval relevance, and exploitation of trust in retrieved context. We evaluate whether adversaries can influence AI outputs by corrupting or manipulating the data sources your LLM relies on for its responses.

05

AI Supply Chain and Model Risk Evaluation

We audit your AI supply chain: third-party model dependencies, fine-tuning data provenance, plugin and extension security, embedding model integrity, and configuration security of AI infrastructure. This identifies risks introduced by components outside your direct control, from model marketplaces and API providers to open-source libraries and data pipelines.

Delivery
06

Data Exfiltration and Output Integrity Testing

We test whether adversaries can extract sensitive training data, PII, proprietary business information, or system configurations from your AI models through adversarial prompting. We also evaluate output manipulation risks including harmful content generation, hallucination exploitation, and brand safety violations that could have legal or reputational consequences.

07

Multi-Layer Review and Compliance Mapping

All findings undergo our structured L1/L2/L3 review process. L1 auditors document findings with full proof-of-concept attack chains. L2 senior consultants validate attack feasibility, assess coverage completeness, and identify additional test scenarios. L3 security architects perform final validation, confirm business impact assessments, and ensure findings are mapped to relevant frameworks including OWASP LLM Top 10, ISO 42001, DPDP Act, and SEBI AI governance requirements.

08

Reporting, Remediation Guidance, and Retesting

We deliver comprehensive reports for both technical teams and executive leadership, including reproducible attack chain documentation, AI-specific remediation guidance covering prompt hardening, guardrail implementation, privilege scoping, and architecture-level controls. Multiple rounds of retesting are included so your team can validate fixes as they are implemented. Remediation walkthrough sessions ensure your AI and development teams fully understand each finding.

"Security Brigade's structured approach through Lemon gave us complete visibility into the testing process. The three-layer review caught issues that our previous vendor missed entirely. Their reports were the first our developers could actually act on without a follow-up call."

Contact us
What is the difference between AI security testing and traditional penetration testing?+
AI security testing specifically targets vulnerabilities unique to AI systems such as prompt injection, RAG poisoning, agent hijacking, and model data exfiltration. Traditional penetration testing focuses on web application, API, and infrastructure vulnerabilities. While there is overlap at the integration layer, AI security testing requires specialized knowledge of how LLMs, agentic frameworks, and AI data pipelines operate and fail under adversarial conditions.
What is prompt injection and why is it dangerous?+
Prompt injection is an attack where adversarial inputs manipulate an LLM into ignoring its instructions, bypassing safety guardrails, or executing unintended actions. It is dangerous because it can lead to data exfiltration, unauthorized tool execution, system prompt leakage, and complete compromise of AI agent autonomy. Prompt injection is considered the most critical vulnerability class for LLM-integrated applications.
How long does an AI security assessment take?+
A typical AI security assessment takes 10 to 20 business days depending on the complexity of your AI implementation. Simple LLM integrations with limited tool access require less time, while multi-agent systems with complex tool chains, RAG pipelines, and extensive plugin ecosystems require more thorough testing. We scope every engagement individually based on your architecture.
Do you test agentic AI systems and multi-agent architectures?+
Yes. Testing agentic pipelines is a core focus of our AI security assessments. We evaluate multi-step agent workflows, tool call chains, inter-agent communication, privilege boundaries, and autonomous decision-making paths. Our engineers simulate scenarios where prompt injection in one step cascades through the agent pipeline to compromise tool calls, escalate privileges, or exfiltrate data in subsequent steps.
What is RAG poisoning and how do you test for it?+
RAG poisoning is an attack where adversaries inject malicious content into the knowledge base or document store that a retrieval-augmented generation system relies on. When the LLM retrieves this poisoned content, it can be manipulated into producing harmful outputs or executing indirect prompt injection. We test by attempting to inject adversarial content into your RAG data sources and evaluating whether the LLM processes it as trusted context.
Can AI security testing help with ISO 42001 compliance?+
Yes. Our AI security assessment findings are mapped directly to ISO 42001 AI Management System controls. This provides documented evidence of AI risk assessment and testing that supports your ISO 42001 readiness or certification efforts. We also map findings to the OWASP LLM Top 10, DPDP Act requirements, and sector-specific AI governance frameworks like SEBI guidelines.
What AI supply chain risks do you assess?+
We evaluate the security of third-party models you rely on, fine-tuning data integrity and provenance, plugin and extension security, embedding model dependencies, and configuration security of AI infrastructure components. Many AI systems depend on external APIs, model marketplaces, and open-source libraries that introduce risks your internal security processes may not currently cover.
How do you ensure your AI security testers understand our specific AI architecture?+
Every engagement begins with a detailed AI architecture discovery and threat modeling phase. We map your LLM providers, model configurations, agentic workflows, tool integrations, RAG pipelines, and data flows before testing begins. Our engineers have hands-on experience with major LLM providers, agentic frameworks, and AI infrastructure patterns, enabling them to quickly understand and effectively test your specific implementation.
Do you provide remediation support after the AI security assessment?+
Yes. Every engagement includes detailed AI-specific remediation guidance covering prompt hardening techniques, guardrail implementation, agent privilege scoping, RAG pipeline controls, and architectural recommendations. We also include multiple rounds of retesting so your team can validate fixes, and we conduct remediation walkthrough sessions to help your AI engineering and development teams understand and implement each fix.
Is AI security testing relevant for organizations that only use third-party AI APIs?+
Absolutely. Even if you do not train or host your own models, using third-party AI APIs in your application introduces significant security risks. Your application layer, prompt design, tool integrations, data handling around the AI API, and user input processing all create attack surfaces. Prompt injection, data exfiltration, and tool call hijacking can all occur through API-based AI integrations and require testing.
