AI Agent Security Assessment

Assess prompt-injection exposure, agent identity and authority, tool permissions, sensitive-data access, external actions, and the controls limiting an agent's blast radius.

01 / THE REVIEW QUESTION

Start with the system, data, and decision—not a generic checklist.

AI agents combine model behavior with software authority. NIST's 2026 work highlights risks from indirect prompt injection and the need to address agent identification, authorization, auditing, and access to sensitive tools and data.

02 / Questions to answer

What a useful assessment should establish.

01

What untrusted inputs can influence the agent?

02

Which tools, data stores, credentials, and applications can it access?

03

What actions can it take without human confirmation?

04

Are agent identity, authorization, logging, and non-repudiation controls adequate?

03 / Assessment scope

What Ayliea examines.

Exact procedures are confirmed in writing before work begins. Technical testing is performed only when explicitly scoped and authorized.

01Agent architecture and trust-boundary mapping

02Direct and indirect prompt-injection exposure

03Tool, API, identity, and authorization review

04Sensitive-data and external-action paths

05Logging, containment, and incident-response readiness

04 / OUTPUT

Evidence and findings another reviewer can follow.

The deliverable separates what was observed or supplied from what was represented, unavailable, untested, or outside scope. That keeps the conclusion useful without overstating what the evidence proves.

06 / SCOPE THE WORK

Have a real system or review question in mind?

Bring the AI system, the data it touches, the review trigger, and the evidence you already have. Ayliea will determine whether a Review, Assessment, or broader scope fits.
