Test How Your AI Can Be Manipulated—and What That Could Expose

Symosis tests AI applications, retrieval systems, copilots, and agents against agreed adversarial scenarios.

We examine whether manipulated inputs can expose sensitive information, bypass access controls, misuse tools, or trigger unintended actions.

01

Test the Application and Its Connected Systems

AI security depends on the model alongside application logic, identities, retrieval sources, tools, and infrastructure.

Symosis connects adversarial behavior to security boundaries and business consequences. Testing focuses on what the application can access and do under the agreed conditions.

02

What We Test

01 · Priority service

Prompt Injection & Instruction Manipulation

Assess direct inputs and malicious instructions encountered through documents, retrieval sources, external content, or tool responses.

Determine whether manipulated behavior leads to unauthorized disclosure or action.

02 · Priority service

Retrieval & Sensitive-Data Exposure

Test selected paths for restricted-document access, cross-user or cross-tenant retrieval, sensitive-data disclosure, and relevant access-revocation behavior.

03

Agent & Tool Abuse

Evaluate unauthorized tool invocation, excessive permissions, manipulated parameters, approval bypass, and actions exceeding the intended task.

04

Application, API & Output Security

Assess authentication, authorization, session isolation, integration weaknesses, and unsafe handling of generated content.

05

Knowledge Integrity & Workflow Resilience

Where relevant, examine manipulated knowledge sources, persistent malicious instructions, execution loops, resource limits, and failure behavior.

03

Findings Your Engineers Can Act On

Validated findings include:

  • Affected components and security boundaries
  • Preconditions and access required
  • Reproduction steps and supporting evidence
  • Observed behavior and business impact
  • Severity rationale
  • Remediation recommendations
  • Retest criteria

We distinguish demonstrated impact from hypothetical consequences. Where behavior varies, we document the conditions and repeatability observed.

How the Engagement Works

  1. 01 →

    Define Scope

    Agree on applications, environments, accounts, permitted techniques, data handling, and operational boundaries.

  2. 02 →

    Map the Attack Surface

    Review architecture, identities, retrieval sources, APIs, tools, and important workflows.

  3. 03 →

    Execute Scenarios

    Combine targeted manual testing with appropriate tooling to evaluate the agreed threats and abuse cases.

  4. 04 →

    Validate and Prioritize

    Confirm findings, document evidence, and prioritize remediation.

  5. 05

    Review and Retest

    Walk through results with your team. Where included, retest fixes against the original scenarios.

05

What You Receive

  • Executive assessment summary
  • Test scope and coverage overview
  • Technical findings with reproduction evidence
  • Attack-path and abuse-case results
  • Prioritized remediation plan
  • Engineering review workshop
  • Retest report where included

06

When to Engage

01Before deployment
Test relevant boundaries before exposing the application to enterprise users and data.
02Before expanding capability
Evaluate new tools, data sources, permissions, or autonomous actions.
03After material changes
Reassess selected scenarios when architecture or controls change.
04After remediation
Validate that fixes address the observed attack paths.
07

Connect Testing to Engineering

Symosis can help implement architecture changes, access restrictions, application safeguards, and monitoring improvements.

Client evidence · pending approval

A sanitized technical example, sample deliverable or approved case study for this service will appear here once approved. No results are shown until then.

Questions

What is indirect prompt injection?

Malicious instructions placed in content the model later reads, such as a document, web page or email, rather than typed by the user.

Is AI red teaming the same as a penetration test?

It is complementary. It focuses on model behavior, retrieval and tools, and is usually combined with conventional testing of the surrounding application.

How often should AI applications be tested?

Before deployment, before expanding capability, and after material changes to architecture or controls.
