# Make your next AI decision with the risks in view.

Bring an offensive security perspective to the AI systems you adopt and build. We help your team understand how a system can fail, decide where controls belong, and prioritize the changes that matter to your environment.

## Decisions your team can act on.

- Threat models and prioritized risks
- Architecture and permission recommendations
- Policy and incident-readiness guidance
- A practical plan for your engineering team

## From the threat model to the next decision.

For security leaders, architects, and engineering teams evaluating an AI platform, designing an agent, or reviewing an existing deployment.

### Threat modeling and architecture

Trace data, identities, tools, and trust boundaries across your agents, applications, APIs, and infrastructure. Identify the attack paths and design choices that deserve attention.

### Secure agent design

Review tool access, permissions, identity, and egress. Work through what an agent should be able to do, what it should trust, and where human approval or other controls belong.

### Policy and incident readiness

Connect AI policy to the systems people use. Review responsibilities, escalation paths, and response scenarios, with practical workshops to help teams apply the guidance.


## How we work together

1. **Frame the decision.** Start with the system, rollout, or security question you need to resolve. Agree the scope, stakeholders, and information needed for the review.
2. **Examine the risk.** Review the architecture, permissions, data flows, and existing controls through the lens of how an attacker could use them.
3. **Prioritize the work.** Discuss findings and tradeoffs with your team. Define practical recommendations and the changes that should come first.
4. **Plan the follow-through.** Leave your team with guidance it can implement. Scope embedded engineering or pentesting when you need help applying or validating the changes.

## Frequently asked questions

### When should we bring you in?

Before choosing an AI platform, during agent design, ahead of a rollout, or when an existing deployment raises security questions. We start with the decision your team needs to make and scope the review around it.

### How does your pentesting expertise inform the advice?

We build and run attacks against AI agents. That experience informs how we review trust boundaries, tool permissions, and paths to sensitive data or actions. Consulting turns those lessons into decisions for your particular architecture.

### Is a pentest included?

Consulting covers review, threat modeling, and recommendations. A pentest is a separately scoped engagement that actively tests the agreed systems and delivers reproducible findings. We can plan both together, including continuous testing after the initial pentest.

### Can you help implement the recommendations?

Yes. Forward deployed engineers can work alongside your team on rollout configuration, permissions, guardrails, and operational runbooks. We agree the implementation scope with you.

## What do you need to get right?

Bring the architecture, rollout plan, or security question your team is working through. We’ll scope the work around it.
