Program 02 · AI ASSURANCE

The AI security program built by offensive operators who attack AI systems for a living.

Generative AI, LLM applications, RAG pipelines, and agentic workflows have introduced an entirely new class of attack surface — and most security programs have no meaningful coverage for it. Bluefire’s AI Assurance Program is a 12-month, end-to-end engagement that tests, hardens, and continuously validates your AI deployments against real adversarial behavior.

THE PROBLEM

Your AppSec program wasn't built for this.

AI systems break in ways traditional security testing was never designed to catch. The vulnerabilities live at the model layer, in agent tool-use boundaries, and in supply chains your existing controls don’t see.

01

Model-layer vulnerabilities are invisible to AppSec tools

Prompt injection, jailbreaks, model abuse, and data extraction don’t show up in SAST, DAST, or SCA scans. Traditional security tooling has no signal for them. CISOs are deploying AI systems with no offensive validation at all.

02

Agents introduce a new trust boundary nobody is testing

Every tool an agent can call is a privilege escalation path. Every external content source is a prompt injection vector. Every MCP server is a new exposed surface. The blast radius of a compromised agent is rarely modeled — and almost never tested adversarially.

03

Regulators are moving faster than security teams

The EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, and emerging financial-services AI guidance all require evidence of adversarial testing, risk management, and post-deployment monitoring. Most security teams cannot produce that evidence today.

WHAT WE TEST

End-to-end coverage of the AI attack surface.

Four interconnected workstreams covering the full lifecycle of an AI deployment — from model and prompt-layer attacks through agent compromise, supply chain risk, and governance.

01 · MODEL & PROMPT LAYER

LLM Application Penetration Testing

Adversarial testing of LLM-backed applications: prompt injection, jailbreaks, system prompt leakage, prompt hijacking, output handling vulnerabilities, and authorization bypasses via natural language. Tested against your specific model, system prompts, guardrails, and integration patterns.

02 · CONVERSATIONAL AI

AI Chatbot & Agent Attacks

Adversarial testing of customer-facing and internal AI chatbots, copilots, and autonomous agents — including multi-turn attack chains, role and persona manipulation, social engineering of the model, and exploitation of memory and context boundaries.

03 · MODEL ABUSE

Prompt Injection & Model Abuse Testing

Targeted testing against the specific abuse classes regulators and frameworks now require evidence for: training data extraction, model inversion, membership inference, sensitive data leakage, and harmful content generation under adversarial conditions.

04 · AGENT & TOOL-USE LAYER

MCP & Agentic System Security Review

Architectural and adversarial review of agent systems — including MCP server exposure, tool-use compromise, prompt injection through tool output, cross-agent trust boundaries, agent identity confusion, and excessive autonomy risks.

Regulatory Alignment

Every deliverable maps to the framework your supervisor is auditing against.

Annual penetration testing is no longer sufficient evidence of cyber resilience for regulated institutions. Supervisors across the EU, UK, US, India, Kenya, and APAC are now requiring threat-led, intelligence-driven adversarial testing — and the documentation to prove it.

NIST AI RMF

AI Risk Management Framework 1.0

Full coverage of the four functions: Govern, Map, Measure, Manage. Adversarial testing and continuous monitoring produce direct evidence for the Measure (MS) and Manage (MG) categories, with governance gap analysis supporting Govern (GV) and Map (MP).

EU AI Act

High-risk AI systems

Mapped to Article 9 (risk management system), Article 13 (transparency & information to deployers), Article 14 (human oversight), Article 15 (accuracy, robustness, cybersecurity), and Article 17 (quality management system). Deliverables support conformity assessment and post-market monitoring.

ISO/IEC 42001

AI Management System

Provides evidence for clauses on risk assessment, treatment, impact analysis, operational controls, and continual improvement. Mapped to the AI-specific controls in Annex A and Annex B.

ISO/IEC 23894

AI Risk Management Guidance

Adversarial testing methodology aligned to the risk identification, analysis, evaluation, and treatment cycles defined in 23894 — providing concrete adversarial inputs to an otherwise process-only standard.

OWASP LLM Top 10

LLM Application Top 10 2025

Every engagement explicitly tests against all ten categories: LLM01 Prompt Injection, LLM02 Insecure Output Handling, LLM03 Training Data Poisoning, LLM04 Model DoS, LLM05 Supply Chain, LLM06 Sensitive Information Disclosure, LLM07 Insecure Plugin Design, LLM08 Excessive Agency, LLM09 Overreliance, LLM10 Model Theft.

MITRE ATLAS

Adversarial Threat Landscape for AI Systems

Engagements are scoped and reported using ATLAS tactics and techniques — providing a common adversary-behavior vocabulary that maps cleanly to MITRE ATT&CK for hybrid AI/IT threat modeling.

Methodology

A four-phase, evidence-led AI red team methodology.

Every engagement follows the same disciplined process — calibrated to your specific models, deployment patterns, agent architectures, and regulatory environment.

01

Scoping & Threat Modeling

Architecture review, AI surface enumeration, MITRE ATLAS-aligned threat model, rules of engagement, and regulatory scope confirmation.

02

Adversarial Execution

Hands-on adversarial testing across all six service workstreams. Curated payload libraries + emergent attack development by named operators.

03

Live Findings & Triage

Findings stream into the Bluefire platform in real time. Your team triages, retests, and collaborates with operators — no waiting for a final PDF.

04

Continuous Validation

Quarterly re-execution against the evolving model and agent stack. Drift detection, regression testing, and regulator-ready evidence updates.

Deliverables

Three artifacts. Three audiences. Zero ambiguity.

Every Bluefire AI Assurance engagement produces three distinct deliverables — engineered for the three audiences who actually consume security reports.

Answers to the questions security and AI leaders ask before signing.

  • AI red teaming is adversarial security testing of machine learning systems, large language models, agentic workflows, and RAG pipelines. Unlike traditional penetration testing, AI red teaming targets model-layer vulnerabilities — prompt injection, jailbreaks, model abuse, training data extraction, agent tool-use compromise — that cannot be discovered with conventional application security tools. It requires offensive operators with both AppSec depth and hands-on ML adversarial experience.
  • Yes. The program is mapped to the EU AI Act's risk-management, transparency, accuracy, robustness, and cybersecurity requirements for high-risk AI systems (Articles 9, 13, 14, 15, and 17). Deliverables include the technical documentation and post-market monitoring evidence required for conformity assessment under Article 43 and ongoing obligations under Article 72.
  • We test agentic systems for tool-use compromise, prompt injection through tool output, MCP server authentication and authorization gaps, cross-tenant context leakage, agent identity confusion, multi-agent trust boundary failures, and excessive autonomy. Engagements include both static review of the agent architecture and dynamic adversarial testing of the running system. Where appropriate, we deploy custom tooling against your MCP servers to validate authentication, authorization, and isolation guarantees.
  • The AIBOM is a structured inventory of every foundation model, fine-tune, training and fine-tuning dataset, embedding model, vector store, third-party AI vendor, and integration point in your AI stack. Each component is mapped to its provenance, license, security posture, data residency, and regulatory implications — providing the supply chain visibility increasingly required by NIST AI RMF (Map function), EU AI Act (Article 11 technical documentation), and ISO 42001 (Annex A controls on AI system lifecycle).
  • Yes. All adversarial testing of production AI systems follows a controlled engagement protocol with rate limits, scoped service accounts, real-time monitoring of test traffic, and pre-agreed rollback procedures. For higher-risk testing — particularly model abuse, denial of service, and supply chain validation — we replicate the model and pipeline in an isolated environment provided by your team. Production-vs-isolated decisions are made jointly during the scoping phase and documented in the rules of engagement.
  • The standard program is 12 months with quarterly assessment cycles, continuous monitoring between cycles, and an executive review at the end of each quarter. Initial scoping and baseline assessment typically complete in the first 6–8 weeks. Shorter point-in-time AI penetration tests are available outside the program structure but are not the recommended engagement model — AI systems evolve too rapidly for point-in-time assurance to remain meaningful.
  • Every engagement is led by a named senior AI red team operator with both offensive security and applied ML backgrounds, supported by a delivery team across our US, India, and Kenya offices. You will know the names of the people testing your systems before the engagement starts, and they remain the same individuals across quarterly cycles to preserve continuity and context.
  • The AI Assurance Program is designed to integrate with, not replace, your existing AppSec function. Findings flow into the same triage workflow you already use (Jira, ServiceNow, GitHub Issues), via the Bluefire platform's integrations. Where your existing AppSec controls cover the AI surface adequately, we say so; where they don't, we identify specific tooling, process, and skill gaps to close.
