// AI/ML Penetration Testing

AI/ML Penetration Testing

Adversarial security testing of AI systems, large language models, and machine learning pipelines against prompt injection, model theft, data poisoning, and agentic abuse.

// Overview

Service Overview

AI and machine learning systems introduce a new class of vulnerabilities that traditional application testing does not address. Our AI/ML penetration testing aligns with the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications, OWASP Machine Learning Security Top 10, NIST AI RMF, and MITRE ATLAS to evaluate model behavior, training pipelines, inference endpoints, agent frameworks, and MCP integrations. We assess adversarial evasion, prompt injection, model extraction, training-data poisoning, and supply-chain risk across the full ML lifecycle.

// Methodology

Our Approach

01

Model & System Reconnaissance

Identify model architectures, hosting endpoints, training data sources, third-party model dependencies, and integrated agent or MCP tooling.

02

Input Attack Surface Mapping

Enumerate all prompt entry points, retrieval-augmented generation flows, tool-calling boundaries, and trust transitions between user, system, and tool contexts.

03

Evasion & Poisoning Testing

Craft adversarial inputs, jailbreaks, and indirect prompt injection payloads, and evaluate exposure of training and fine-tuning pipelines to data poisoning.

04

Model Extraction & Inversion

Test for model theft via query-based extraction, membership inference, and training-data reconstruction against confidentiality of proprietary models.

05

Supply-Chain Assessment

Review model registries, pretrained weights, datasets, Python dependencies, and inference container images for tampering and known-vulnerable components.

06

AI Governance Review

Map controls against NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, and EU AI Act expectations including logging, human oversight, and abuse monitoring.

Key Benefits

LLM-Specific Coverage

Testing aligned to OWASP LLM Top 10 and MITRE ATLAS rather than generic web testing repurposed for AI.

Protect Proprietary Models

Identify model extraction, inversion, and membership-inference exposure before competitors or attackers exploit them.

Agent & MCP Hardening

Validate tool-calling boundaries, MCP server trust, and agentic workflows against prompt-injection-driven abuse.

Data Pipeline Assurance

Surface poisoning and integrity risks across training, fine-tuning, and retrieval data sources.

Regulatory Alignment

Map findings to NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, and EU AI Act control expectations for AI risk management.

Actionable Guardrails

Concrete recommendations for input filtering, output validation, rate limiting, and abuse monitoring instead of generic advice.
