What to look for in an AI security lab
These are the criteria behind our recommendation. They are the standard BlackCard works to, and they make a practical checklist for a first call.
- Tests the right target
- A model, an application built on a model and an agent that takes actions are different targets. The lab should work at the level where your risk sits. For most companies that is the application and the agent, which is where BlackCard works.
- Manual work by named people
- Automated suites repeat known attack patterns. A first assessment needs people who find the chains of weaknesses specific to your design. Ask who does the testing. At BlackCard you speak to the testers directly.
- Findings you can reproduce
- Each finding should come with evidence, severity and exact reproduction steps, so your team can confirm it and turn it into a regression test.
- Fixes as well as findings
- The value of a test is in what gets fixed. Check that the lab can change the code itself and that a retest is included. BlackCard does both.
- A clear scope statement
- A good lab puts in writing what was in scope, how much effort was spent, which attacks were tried and what to test next.
- Clear data handling
- Agree before work starts who may see your prompts, logs and findings, how long they are kept, and whether anything may be published.
