Test whether your AI application stays within its boundaries.

An AI application can encounter misleading instructions in user messages, retrieved documents or connected systems. Security assessment should examine what it can access and do when those inputs behave unexpectedly. Start with an authorised test scope, the application’s boundaries and the business consequences of failure.

Map access and possible actions

List user roles, information sources, connected tools and permissions. Distinguish an incorrect answer from disclosure of protected information or an unauthorised change. Ask how ordinary application controls enforce limits, rather than relying only on wording that tells the model what it should avoid.

Test realistic misuse in a controlled environment

Discuss attempts to cross access boundaries, manipulate instructions or trigger actions outside the task. Use approved accounts and prepared data, with explicit limits on the assessment. Include indirect inputs such as documents and tool results. Agree how findings will be recorded without exposing confidential information in reports.

Require actionable findings and retesting

A useful report explains the demonstrated impact, conditions, recommended remediation and remaining uncertainty. Define who fixes issues and how changes are retested. INC. seeks appropriate expertise after your enquiry. Security assessment and remediation are contracted directly with authorised specialists; a test is not a promise that every possible issue has been found.
