Leverage AI Responsibly and Securely

As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes embedded across your organization, leaders face growing pressure to strengthen AI security and compliance while maintaining innovation. Leaders must understand where AI is being used, what risks it introduces, and how AI governance and controls align with emerging standards and regulatory expectations.

Our AI Security Services provide a structured approach to assessing AI risk, strengthening cyber posture and building defensible AI programs that support both compliance and business objectives.

We provide practical, outcome-focused support to understand and address AI risks in your organization, including governance, ISO 42001 assessments and certification, testing the security of your AI models through AI red teaming, and evaluating AI for a transaction through AI risk and value due diligence assessments.

Our objective is simple: to provide you with a defensible, secure and compliant AI environment that supports innovation without increasing enterprise risk.

Our AI Security Consulting Offerings

  • AI Risk & Cyber Posture Assessment

    Our experienced AI advisors will assess where and how AI is being used across your organization, evaluate cybersecurity, model, data, and regulatory risks, then produce a prioritized risk and maturity roadmap. 

  • AI Red Teaming Assessment

    Our AI red team will perform ethical hacking to simulate adversarial and misuse scenarios against your AI systems to identify exploitable vulnerabilities and control gaps to address untested AI systems that expose you to security, operational and reputational risk. 

  • AI ISO 42001 Certification Services

    Our advisors will perform audit execution, control testing and issuance of certification so you can achieve ISO 42001 certification. This provides you with competitive differentiation through AI trust credentials and confidence to your customers, regulators and stakeholders. We will establish ongoing surveillance and recertification cycles supporting continuous monitoring.

  • AI Risk & Value Due Diligence Assessment

    We evaluate AI governance, capabilities, risks, dependencies, and value drivers in the context of transactions or strategic initiatives to address the business problem of incomplete risk and value visibility, which impacts valuation, investment decisions and integration planning.

AI Security FAQs

Organizations are adopting AI faster than they can govern it. This assessment identifies where AI is being used (formally and informally), quantifies cybersecurity, model, data, and regulatory risks, and provides a prioritized roadmap to reduce exposure while enabling innovation.

ISO/IEC 42001 is the international standard for AI management systems. Certification demonstrates structured governance, risk management, and oversight of AI systems, thereby providing trust to customers, regulators, and investors.

Certification signals responsible AI governance and can accelerate sales cycles, differentiate you in regulated markets, and provide assurance during due diligence and procurement reviews.

AI red teaming simulates adversarial attacks and misuse scenarios against AI systems to identify vulnerabilities in models, prompts, data pipelines, APIs, and integrations.

We test for:

  • Prompt injection and data exfiltration
  • Model manipulation
  • Adversarial inputs
  • Unauthorized access
  • Hallucination exploitation
  • Operational misuse scenarios

We provide visibility into:

  • Governance maturity
  • Security and compliance risks
  • Dependency and vendor concentration risks
  • Scalability constraints
  • Monetization and defensibility of AI capabilities

Yes. Undisclosed AI risk can reduce valuation or increase escrow requirements. Conversely, strong governance and defensible AI IP can enhance enterprise value.
