What It Solves
The rapid enterprise adoption of generative AI and large language models introduces a category of security risk that traditional application security programmes were not designed to address. Prompt injection, model inversion, training data poisoning, and insecure AI output handling create novel attack surfaces that attackers are already exploiting. Our Artificial Intelligence Security practice provides the threat modelling, testing, and governance frameworks needed to deploy AI systems with confidence that they are resilient against both adversarial attack and unintended misuse.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is prompt injection and why is it the highest priority AI security risk?
Prompt injection occurs when malicious instructions embedded in user input or retrieved content override the AI system's intended behaviour, causing it to perform unauthorised actions such as leaking system prompts, bypassing access controls, or executing unintended tool calls. It is the highest priority risk because it is pervasive in LLM applications that process untrusted input, difficult to fully prevent at the model level, and can be exploited without any technical sophistication by end users.
How do you secure enterprise AI systems that work with sensitive internal data?
Enterprise AI security requires controls at multiple layers: access control on approved data connectors, output scanning to detect and redact sensitive information before it reaches the user, prompt injection detection on user-supplied or imported content, and audit logging of generated outputs and tool actions for forensic purposes.
How do you assess AI systems built on third-party foundation models we do not control?
For foundation model-based systems, we focus our assessment on the application layer controls rather than the model itself. We test the system prompt and instruction hierarchy, input validation and sanitisation, tool call authorisation logic, output filtering, and the data retrieval layer. We also review the contractual security obligations in the foundation model provider's terms of service and assess supply chain risk.
What does EU AI Act compliance require for enterprise AI deployments?
The EU AI Act requirements depend on the risk classification of your AI system. High-risk systems (those affecting fundamental rights, safety, or critical infrastructure decisions) require conformity assessments, human oversight mechanisms, technical documentation, and registration in the EU AI database before deployment. We conduct risk classification assessments and build the required technical and governance documentation to support conformity.
How often should AI security assessments be repeated as models and applications evolve?
We recommend a security assessment for any significant change to the AI system including model version upgrades, new tool integrations, expansion of the input data scope, or changes to the system prompt or retrieval configuration. A full annual assessment should also be conducted to capture changes in the threat landscape and emerging attack techniques that may affect previously assessed components.
Can you help us build an internal AI red team capability rather than relying on external testing?
Yes. We offer an AI security capability building programme that trains your internal security team in adversarial machine learning techniques, prompt injection testing methodologies, and AI red team tooling. The programme includes a structured curriculum, hands-on labs using your actual AI systems, and a competency assessment. We also help you establish an internal AI red team operating model with defined scope, cadence, and reporting structure.
