LLM Penetration Testing

Identify and mitigate vulnerabilities in your AI and language model integrations.

Overview

Large language models (LLMs) power critical features across products, from customer support to decision-making, but their flexibility also introduces new attack surfaces. Malicious inputs, prompt injection, or poorly isolated training data can make models reveal sensitive information, execute harmful instructions, or behave unpredictably.

Our LLM Penetration Testing service simulates real-world adversarial techniques against your model stack, including prompt injection, jailbreaks, data extraction, API abuse, and poisoning scenarios, to demonstrate how these weaknesses can lead to real security risks.

LLM

Scope Definition

Identify in-scope LLM endpoints, prompt templates, and connected data sources.

Prompt Injection Testing

Craft malicious inputs to override system instructions or extract hidden data.

Data Leakage Assessment

Test for unintended knowledge disclosure or proprietary data exposure.

Access Control Review

Validate authentication, authorization, rate limiting, and audit logging.

Output Validation

Detect harmful, biased, or insecure generated outputs and code generation flaws.

Integration Security

Assess API interfaces, middleware, and external connectors for misuse or pivoting.

Adversarial Robustness

Evaluate model behavior under fuzzing, red teaming, and adversarial prompt attacks.

Configuration Review

Review model parameters, logging policies, and data retention settings.

Testing Methodology

1

Scoping & Kick-off

Define in-scope endpoints, user roles, datasets, and test windows. Clarify objectives, success criteria, and escalation procedures.

2

Discovery & Mapping

Enumerate model prompts, system templates, connected APIs, and third-party integrations to understand the LLM’s operational landscape.

3

Prompt Injection & Manipulation

Test for prompt injection, jailbreaks, hidden prompt overrides, and instruction steering using controlled adversarial inputs.

4

Data Exposure Testing

Probe the model for sensitive data leakage, unintended memory retention, or exposure of proprietary knowledge.

5

Adversarial & Bias Testing

Conduct fuzzing, bias detection, and red-team simulations to evaluate robustness, ethical constraints, and context manipulation resilience.

6

Integration & API Security Checks

Assess input sanitization, authentication enforcement, rate limiting, and logging within model APIs and connected systems.

7

Reporting & Debrief

Deliver a comprehensive report with executive summary, scope, methodology, prioritized findings with PoCs, business impact, risk ratings, and remediation guidance, followed by a restitution meeting.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Large language models are a new and rapidly evolving attack surface. Prompt injection, retrieval-based leakage, or insecure plugin integration can expose confidential data or enable lateral movement. Weak authentication and monitoring can lead to model abuse or silent data exfiltration. This assessment uncovers exploitable vectors across prompts, pipelines, tokenization quirks, vector databases, and connected integrations before adversaries do.

Typically between 3 and 7 business days, depending on model complexity, number of endpoints, and integration depth.

All testing is performed safely and non-destructively. For production environments, test windows are coordinated in advance to minimize risk. Potentially disruptive actions are executed only after explicit approval.
