- What We Test

Six critical areas of AI security testing.

Our specialists test AI-specific threats using OWASP Top 10 for LLMs and MITRE ATLAS, tailored to your architecture.

  • LLM01
    Ignore your rules and…Sure - rules ignored

    Prompt injection

    Malicious instructions manipulating AI behaviour through untrusted content.

  • LLM02
    What did the last user ask?4111 •••• •••• 1111

    Sensitive information disclosure

    Confidential data, secrets and internal system details exposed.

  • LLM05
    model output<img onerror>browser

    Improper Output Handling

    Unsafe AI output passed into applications without validation.

  • LLM06

    Excessive agency

    Agents executing tools or actions beyond their authorised permissions.

  • LLM07

    System prompt leakage

    System instructions or configurations exposed to users.

  • LLM08

- How We Test

Five steps, one team, from scope to retest.

Work directly with experienced AI security specialists throughout testing, remediation and retesting, all through one platform.

  1. 01

    Scope

    Agree AI components, tools, data access and testing boundaries.

  2. 02

    Test

    Assess prompt injection, agent permissions and AI-specific attack paths.

  3. 03

    Review

    Receive validated findings with technical evidence and clear severity ratings.

  4. 04

    Remediate

    Work directly with specialists to address identified AI security weaknesses.

  5. 05

    Retest

    Verify fixes and document outcomes within your agreed engagement terms.

“Security and trust are essential when building a platform that helps organisations manage procurement and compliance. Capture The Bug has made penetration testing a more collaborative and transparent process for our team. Having direct access to their pentesters, clear visibility of findings and a straightforward approach to remediation helps us address risks efficiently while continuing to develop and improve our platform.”

AI Penetration Testing FAQs

Ask a question +
  • We assess LLM applications, AI agents, RAG and retrieval systems, and AI-powered features integrated into existing applications. Testing is tailored to your architecture, data sources, connected tools and security boundaries.

  • Traditional penetration testing assesses applications, APIs and infrastructure. AI penetration testing also examines how attackers can manipulate model behaviour, influence responses, access connected tools and cross data or permission boundaries.

  • Not always. Black-box testing can begin through an application's interface or API. Architecture-informed grey-box testing provides deeper coverage of model configurations, tool permissions, retrieval systems and data flows.

  • Pricing depends on application complexity, AI architecture, agent capabilities, connected systems, testing access and agreed scope. We provide a tailored proposal outlining the methodology, deliverables and engagement costs.

  • Our assessments are informed by the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications and relevant MITRE ATLAS techniques. Testing focuses on exploitable risks, with findings supported by technical evidence and practical remediation guidance.

  • Yes. We assess how AI agents interact with connected tools, APIs, databases and business workflows, including whether permissions and authorisation boundaries are properly enforced.
