Why Your AI Needs Red Teaming

Traditional security testing was designed for traditional software. AI systems introduce attack vectors that conventional scanners and penetration tests completely miss.

The McKinsey Wake-Up Call

46.5 Million Messages Exposed in 2 Hours

On February 28, 2026, an autonomous AI agent discovered 22 unauthenticated API endpoints in McKinsey's Lilli AI platform. Within 2 hours, it achieved full read-write database access — exposing 46.5 million chat messages, 728,000 files, and 57,000 user accounts.

The vulnerability? SQL injection — one of the oldest attack classes in cybersecurity. McKinsey's own internal scanners missed it. An AI agent found it because it doesn't follow checklists.

The AI Coding Tool Risk

Your Dev Tools Are an Attack Surface

Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and Cursor are transforming development. But in February 2026, Check Point Research disclosed CVE-2025-59536 (CVSS 8.7) in Claude Code — enabling remote code execution and API key exfiltration through malicious project configurations.

A single compromised developer account can inject malicious AI configurations that propagate across entire teams. As Microsoft, Epic, and Fortune 500 companies adopt these tools, the supply chain risk compounds.

Regulatory Pressure

EU AI Act: Mandatory by August 2026

The EU AI Act mandates adversarial testing (red teaming) for high-risk AI systems. Full compliance is required by August 2, 2026. High-risk classifications cover AI in critical infrastructure, employment, credit decisions, education, and law enforcement.

Non-compliance penalties reach up to €15 million or 3% of global annual turnover for high-risk obligations (up to €35 million or 7% for prohibited AI practices). The compliance clock is ticking.

The Scale of the Problem

73% of AI Deployments Are Vulnerable

According to OWASP's 2025 Top 10 for LLM Applications, prompt injection appears in over 73% of production AI deployments assessed during security audits. OpenAI has stated that prompt injection is "unlikely to ever be fully solved."

From zero-click prompt injection attacks on Microsoft Copilot (EchoLeak) to the OpenClaw AI agent crisis of 2026, production AI systems are under active threat from sophisticated adversaries.

Our Methodology

7-Step AI Security Configuration Review

A systematic approach aligned to OWASP Top 10 for LLMs, NIST AI RMF, and ENISA guidelines. Every engagement follows this proven framework.

1

Scoping & AI Asset Identification

We map your entire AI attack surface — AI/ML APIs, third-party AI services, on-premise models, and autonomous decision-making modules. Every LLM endpoint, RAG pipeline, and AI-powered workflow is catalogued.

AI/ML API inventoryThird-party AI service mappingOn-premise model identificationAutonomous decision-making modulesData flow analysis
2

Authentication & Access Control Review

We assess API authentication mechanisms, RBAC/ABAC implementations, rate limiting, and least-privilege enforcement across your AI infrastructure. The McKinsey breach proved that 22 unauthenticated API endpoints is all it takes.

3

Data Exposure & Privacy Risk Analysis

We trace all input/output data flows through your AI systems, validate data minimisation practices, and assess prompt history storage. Full compliance mapping against GDPR, PDPA, and HIPAA requirements.

4

Prompt Injection & Adversarial Testing

Systematic prompt injection attacks including role hijacking, multi-turn manipulation, and jailbreak payloads. According to OWASP, prompt injection appears in over 73% of production AI deployments — we find it before attackers do.

Model Poisoning & Input Validation Review

We test for tainted data injection vulnerabilities, validate input sanitisation, and perform black/white-box fuzzing against your models. Data provenance verification ensures your training data hasn't been compromised.

6

AI Output Safety & Misinformation Detection

We evaluate whether your AI systems generate inaccurate content, leak PII, produce harmful or biased outputs, or make non-compliant decisions. Critical for EU AI Act Article 9 risk management obligations.
