Risks & guardrails

  • Security by prompt is not security — enforce controls in code and policy layers
  • Scope creep in threat model — timebox to critical flows first, then extend

Problem

AI systems expand your attack surface: new inputs, new tool calls, new data paths, new failure modes. Many teams ship fast but lack a structured security model, leading to leakage risk, unauthorized actions, and brittle controls.

Solution

We run a practical AI threat-modeling process:

  • Map trust boundaries, tool permissions, and data flows
  • Identify abuse paths (prompt injection, data exfiltration, privilege escalation)
  • Define concrete controls (allowlists, least privilege, validation, monitoring)
  • Produce an audit-ready security plan with prioritized fixes

What we implement

  • Threat model and security requirements for critical flows
  • Tool authorization layer (who can do what, under which conditions)
  • Data boundary controls (redaction, minimization, retention)
  • Logging that supports incident response without leaking sensitive data

Measurement (typical)

  • Coverage of critical flows with explicit controls
  • Reduced risky tool calls via allowlists and gating
  • Clear incident playbooks and measurable alert signals

Risks & guardrails

  • Avoid “security by prompt”: enforce controls in code and policy layers
  • Assume hostile inputs: validate and sanitize consistently
  • Keep logs safe: redact PII/secrets and restrict access

CTA

If you want a clear picture of your current risk and a prioritized hardening plan, request an AI Security Audit.
