How we work with you
AI threat and exposure review
Assess data leakage, prompt injection, excessive agency, insecure integrations, model supply chain and misuse scenarios.
Data and identity guardrails
Design classification, DLP, access, secrets, service identities and least-privilege controls around AI use.
Copilot and assistant readiness
Review permissions, repositories, sharing, retention and logging before broad rollout.
AI vendor due diligence
Evaluate data use, tenancy, subprocessors, model retention, security claims, incident obligations and exit position.
Agent security pattern

Frequently asked
Is AI security different from cybersecurity?+
It extends existing security into new data flows, model behaviours, autonomous actions and supplier dependencies. Strong identity, data and monitoring remain the foundation.
Can you review Microsoft 365 Copilot?+
Yes. We assess sharing and permission exposure, sensitivity labels, data governance, identity, logging and rollout controls.
Do you test models?+
We perform risk-led design and control reviews and can coordinate specialist red-team testing where the use case warrants it.
Can AI security work feed ISO 42001?+
Yes. The evidence and controls support AI risk treatment, operational controls, supplier governance, monitoring and incident management.
