Watch AAPT
run a live assessment

A short walkthrough of AAPT probing a production-style AI agent — live findings streaming in, CVSS-A scoring, and the report it produces.

What we test

Eight attack families.
One systematic assessment.

Test the ways an agent could expose data, misuse access, or lose control of a workflow. We scope the relevant tests to your deployment.

Explore the technical coverage and probe examples

Our probe library — 74 probes across 28 categories — maps every test to OWASP LLM identifiers and MITRE ATLAS techniques. T-01..T-14 cover chat-agent attacks (T-11..T-14 derived from AI Agent Traps, Google DeepMind, Franklin et al. 2025). M-01..M-03 pen-test MCP servers directly. C-01 targets tool-using agents (confused-deputy). P-01/P-02 cover persistent and adaptive multi-turn attacks. G-01 covers GraphQL-fronted agents. A-01/A-02/A-04 test agent governance — revocation, stale thresholds, and lapsed authority. H-C tests LLM-generated hardware/RTL for security defects. X-01/X-02/X-05 test autonomous-agent escape, egress pivots, and autonomy escalation.

The process

Five phases.
Zero guesswork.

Every AAPT engagement follows a documented methodology. Each phase has defined inputs, outputs, and exit criteria. Nothing is skipped.

1

Scoping & threat modelling

We review your agent architecture, tool manifest, and regulatory environment. A signed Rules of Engagement document defines test boundaries before any probing begins.

Architecture review Threat modelling canvas Rules of engagement
2

Automated probe execution

Our harness executes the full probe library against your agent endpoints — chat, MCP server, GraphQL, multi-turn, or streaming — in black-box, grey-box, or white-box mode. Every response is logged and evaluated by purpose-built detectors.

Keyword detection Regex detection LLM judge Tool call audit MCP response audit GraphQL response audit
3

Manual red teaming

Human-driven adversarial sessions targeting chained attack sequences, multi-agent relay attacks, and social engineering that automated probes cannot surface.

Chained attacks Persona manipulation Multi-agent relay
4

CVSS-A scoring & financial exposure

Every finding is scored with our AI-adapted CVSS framework — accounting for reproducibility, blast radius across agent chains, and regulatory exposure. Each FAIL also carries a fix-cost band (engineering effort) and a risk-exposure band (cost if unfixed) in USD + INR, so the board can plan and prioritise.

Reproducibility modifier Blast radius modifier Regulatory modifier Fix-cost bands Risk-exposure bands
5

Report delivery & remediation

Executive brief (2–4 pages, board-ready) and full technical report with reproduction steps, scored findings, and code-level fix recommendations. Debrief call included. Fixes are tracked to closure and re-tested — a finding is only marked verified clean once the same probe passes.

Risk scoring

CVSS-A — scoring built
for AI systems

Standard CVSS doesn't model probabilistic reproducibility or multi-agent blast radius. CVSS-A does.

CVSS-A Formula
Score = min(CVSSbase + R + BR + RE, 10.0)
R — Reproducibility
Consistent (every run)+2.0
Frequent (>75%)+1.5
Occasional (>50%)+1.0
Rare (<25%)+0.5
BR — Blast Radius
System-wide+1.5
Multi-user+1.0
Single session+0.5
Isolated+0.0
RE — Regulatory Exposure
GDPR / HIPAA critical+1.0
Moderate obligation+0.5
Minimal+0.2
None+0.0
Severity CVSS-A Range Remediation SLA Required action
● Critical 9.0 – 10.0 24 hours Immediate halt of production deployment
● High 7.0 – 8.9 7 days Prioritised fix with interim controls
● Medium 4.0 – 6.9 30 days Scheduled fix in next release cycle
● Low 0.1 – 3.9 90 days Backlog with accepted risk documentation
● Informational 0.0 No deadline Observation or improvement suggestion
$ Financial exposure

Every FAIL finding is priced in two dimensions

Fix cost (engineering effort to remediate) and risk exposure (estimated impact if exploited). USD ranges shown; reports also display INR for India-based teams.
Band Fix cost (engineering) Risk exposure (if unfixed) Typical scope
● Critical $40k – $150k $1M – $10M Cross-team rebuild; regulatory exposure under GDPR / HIPAA
● High $10k – $40k $100k – $1M 1–2 engineer-weeks; sensitive data or tool-misuse risk
● Medium $2k – $10k $10k – $100k 1–3 engineer-days; localised damage
● Low $500 – $2k $1k – $10k < 1 engineer-day; output-formatting / refusal-quality
Bands derive from (severity, category) with optional per-probe YAML overrides. Higher-blast-radius categories (credential exfil, tool misuse, agent-to-agent compromise) bump the risk band one tier above the fix band. Bands are deliberately wide because real cost depends on your stack and regulatory posture — they are defensible order-of-magnitude estimates, not invoices.
Deploy & comply

Sovereign by design.
Audit-ready by default.

Test regulated and air-gapped agents without data ever leaving your boundary — and walk away with evidence mapped to the frameworks you already report on.

01 / SOVEREIGN

Runs fully in your boundary

Deploy on-premises or air-gapped. In sovereign mode the AI judge runs locally — no third-party model calls, no data egress — so testing meets Indonesian, EU, and other data-residency requirements.

Discuss a sovereign deployment →
02 / COMPLIANCE

Evidence, not just findings

Every run maps results to the controls you report on — OWASP LLM Top 10 (2025), MITRE ATLAS, NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001 & 23894, and Australian/NZ privacy principles. Evidence toward compliance, not a certification claim.

See how findings are scored →
03 / CLOSURE

Verified clean, not just reported

Track every fix through to closure and re-test it. A finding is only marked verified clean once the same probe passes — proof for your auditors, not a claim.

FAQ

Common questions

Do you need access to our model's system prompt?
No — black-box testing requires only a public endpoint and credentials to call it. Grey-box and white-box modes unlock more targeted attack categories but are entirely optional. We scope the mode to your comfort level and security posture.
Will testing affect our production users?
We strongly recommend testing against a staging environment. If production testing is required, we agree a narrow time window, a rollback plan, and a concurrency limit in the Rules of Engagement before any probes are dispatched. Our harness is configured to never create persistent access, delete data, or exfiltrate real user information.
Which agent frameworks do you support?
Our harness communicates via HTTP only — it is framework-agnostic. We ship seven adapters: OpenAI-compatible chat (regular + SSE streaming), Anthropic Messages (regular + SSE streaming), MCP servers (JSON-RPC), GraphQL-fronted agents, and any generic REST API via Jinja2 templates. That covers Azure OpenAI, Groq, Together, Fireworks, Mistral, DeepSeek, Ollama, vLLM, LangGraph / LangServe, Hasura, AppSync, and any custom internal gateway. If your agent uses a custom protocol, we can build a custom adapter as part of the scoping phase.
Do you test MCP servers, GraphQL agents, and multi-turn conversations?
Yes — all three are first-class targets. MCP servers are pen-tested directly via JSON-RPC (M-01..M-03: resource traversal, tool-argument injection, unauthenticated discovery) and indirectly via the LLM that consumes them (C-01: confused-deputy attacks where the model is tricked into calling a tool maliciously). GraphQL-fronted agents get a dedicated category (G-01) covering introspection leakage, depth DoS, alias amplification, and SQL-pattern injection through mutation arguments. Multi-turn attacks (P-01) cover trust priming, confabulation exploits, goal drift, and context-flood safety decay — attack classes that single-shot probe libraries miss entirely.
What is adaptive / agentic multi-turn red-teaming?
Beyond fixed, scripted multi-turn probes, AAPT runs an adaptive attacker (P-02): an LLM generates each conversational turn live, adapting to how your agent responds, carrying a working memory of what it has tried, and steering toward the goal. It stops early when an attack plateaus (saving time and cost), and its reproducibility is empirically measured — the attack is re-run and the success rate feeds the CVSS-A score. An anonymized cross-run memory seeds each engagement with the tactics that worked against similar agents, so the attacker gets sharper the more it is used — while never storing or sharing your prompts, data, or findings.
How do you keep the LLM judge accurate?
Findings that need judgement can be evaluated by a dual-model judge council: two independent frontier models (Anthropic and Google) each assess the agent's response and their verdicts are combined, so no single model's blind spot goes unchallenged. When the models disagree, that disagreement is surfaced on the finding for human review. A deterministic heuristic layer runs underneath as a fallback, so detection degrades gracefully rather than failing.
How are the financial-exposure numbers in the report calculated?
Each FAIL finding carries two cost bands derived from its severity and category: a fix cost (engineering effort to remediate, $500–$150k across four bands) and a risk-exposure cost (estimated impact if exploited, $1k–$10M across four bands). Higher-blast-radius categories (credential exfil, tool misuse, agent-to-agent compromise) bump the risk band one tier above the fix band. Per-finding bands sum to a rollup card on the report's first page so CFOs and CISOs can prioritise without translating CVSS into spend themselves. Bands are deliberately wide because real cost depends on your stack and regulatory posture — they're defensible order-of-magnitude estimates, not invoices.
How does AAPT help with SOC 2 or EU AI Act compliance?
The AAPT methodology document, finding register, and CVSS-A scored reports are designed as audit-ready evidence artefacts. They directly address SOC 2 Security trust service criteria and EU AI Act Article 9 (Risk Management), Article 15 (Robustness and Cybersecurity). Many clients share the executive report with their auditors at the start of the review cycle.
What happens to our data after the engagement?
Raw probe payloads and agent responses are purged 30 days after engagement close. Scored findings are retained for 12 months for trend analysis, then deleted. We sign a data processing agreement before any testing begins. All test traffic originates from agreed IP ranges disclosed in the Scope Agreement.
Can we add our own custom probes?
Yes — enterprise clients can supply domain-specific probes in our YAML schema. This is particularly valuable for regulated-domain agents (financial advice guardrails, HIPAA PHI handling) where generic probes may not fully cover your specific compliance requirements. Custom probes are loaded alongside the standard library and scored with the same CVSS-A framework.

Research & field notes

The attack surfaces everyone now claims to cover — and what it takes to actually pen-test the agents you ship.

CommentaryAugust 18, 2026 · 6 min read

Agents aren't being hacked. They're finding the unguarded seam.

A recent Economic Times report gathered what security firms are seeing: AI agents escaping test environments — not out of malice, but because autonomy plus excessive permissions plus weak containment is a gap waiting to be found. An honest read, and why the analysts' own prescription is pre-emptive testing.

Team & advisors

A focused team building the security layer for the agentic era — backed by advisors at the frontier of AI and hardware security.

Team

Subrat Panda

Founder

Subrat founded AAPT after watching teams rush AI agents into production with no way to answer a basic question: can this agent be made to leak data, misuse its tools, or act beyond its permissions? Traditional app-security tooling never looked at the agent itself. He built AAPT to give builders that answer before release — adversarial testing purpose-built for AI agents, with clear evidence and a prioritised fix list, deployable entirely inside your own trust boundary.
