AI security & GRC

Test AI risks, apply guardrails and turn control gaps into audit-ready evidence.

OVERVIEW

From AI security risk to accountable controls

Connect AI and LLM test findings with guardrails, control owners and remediation evidence. Agree which systems, data and requirements are in scope before assessment. Start when AI adoption outpaces control ownership or an assurance review needs traceable evidence.

Infrastructure and identity controls belong to Cloud security & IAM; web, code and supply-chain testing to Exposure validation & AppSec. For enterprise AI policy and roadmaps, see AI strategy & governance.

WHAT WE DELIVER

AI testing with accountable outputs

Define the test scope and acceptance evidence together, rather than treating AI risk as a generic application review.

AI & LLM risk testing

Agree test scenarios and exclusions for the AI systems in scope.

  • Approved test scenarios
  • Findings with evidence and limitations
Scope decision

Confirm prompt injection, sensitive-data leakage and unsafe tool-action tests before work.

Control mapping & ownership

Connect relevant requirements to technical and organisational controls.

  • Control-owner-evidence matrix
  • Gap register and remediation owners

AI guardrails & observability

Review agreed guardrail settings and AI traces against the intended behaviour.

  • Configuration and trace-review record
  • Acceptance criteria and escalation route

Safe AI use & reporting

Give users role-based guidance on approved AI use and reporting concerns.

  • Safe-use guidance
  • Human review and incident-reporting responsibilities
DELIVERY APPROACH

A path from findings to evidence

Example engagement pattern: an enterprise AI assistant needs clear data boundaries, control owners and a repeatable evidence review.

01

Authorise the assessment

Agree the AI and data inventory, rules of engagement and test-data handling.

  • Approved scope and exclusions
  • Human sign-off before testing
02

Test and record

Run the agreed scenarios and document their context, evidence and limits.

  • Test and evidence pack
  • Findings linked to controls
03

Assign control changes

Rank the risks and agree guardrail or process changes with accountable owners.

  • Risk-ranked remediation plan
  • Acceptance and approval decisions
04

Retest and refresh

Check approved changes and agree how evidence is revisited as AI use changes.

  • Retest record
  • Evidence-review plan and cadence
LINKFIELDS IP

AI Governance and reusable evidence IP

AI Governance is a Linkfields gateway and guardrails offering built on Portkey + Opik, not Linkfields-owned tools. Reusable accelerators support control mapping and evidence readiness; they are delivery artefacts, not standalone software.

AI GovernanceLINKFIELDS PRODUCT

AI Governance

Connect guardrails, cost and tracing with specialist configuration and trace or evaluation review. Confirm the Linkfields configuration layer and integrations in a walkthrough.

DELIVERY ACCELERATOR

Regulatory Readiness & Control Mapping

Tailor control-mapping templates to connect requirements, owners, gaps and evidence.

  • Inputs: agreed requirements and inventory
  • Outputs: control matrix and gap register
DELIVERY ACCELERATOR

Continuous Compliance & Audit Evidence

Structure evidence collection and review. Control owners approve and refresh evidence at the agreed cadence.

  • Inputs: control owners and evidence sources
  • Outputs: evidence register and refresh plan
SECURE BY DESIGN

Requirements, controls and reviewable evidence

Agree the applicable requirements with risk and legal owners before mapping controls. Assessment does not certify compliance or replace legal advice.

Data protection scope

Agree whether POPIA safeguards, operator arrangements and cross-border processing apply to the AI systems assessed.

  • Control: data-access and handling decisions
  • Evidence: approved scope and owner record

Enterprise control mapping

Agree whether ISO/IEC 27001:2022 or NIST CSF 2.0 is the relevant mapping basis; ISO control mapping is not certification.

  • Control: requirement-to-owner mapping
  • Evidence: control matrix and gap status

AI testing and oversight

Confirm applicable OWASP AI/LLM guidance and any ISO/IEC 42001 mapping before including them in the assessment.

  • Control: agreed tests and human sign-off
  • Evidence: findings, changes and retest record
BUYER QUESTIONS

Scope the assessment and engagement

The next step is a scoping discussion about AI systems, control objectives and the evidence you need. Do not send credentials, personal information or confidential test findings.
