AI security reviews, policy, and red-teaming

Secure the AI your staff use.Test the AI you build.

Your staff already use AI tools, and some of your data goes with them. If you build AI into your products, it can be manipulated in ways ordinary testing misses. Custos covers both.

Start with a fixed-fee review of where company data goes through the AI tools your people use. For AI you build, we test it the way an attacker would, under written authorization, and retest after you fix it.

What you get

Findings you can act on, with the evidence behind them.

Every engagement ends with a report your team can work from, and a readout to walk through it.

  • 01

    An AI tool inventory

    Every AI tool and AI feature in use, including the free ones staff signed up for.

  • 02

    A data exposure map

    Which company data reaches each tool, and what the vendor may do with it.

  • 03

    Rated findings

    Each finding with severity, evidence, reproduction steps where relevant, and a specific fix.

  • 04

    A retest

    For AI you build, fixed findings are retested and the report updated.

How an engagement runs

Scoped and authorized first. Then tested and reported.

Nothing is reviewed or tested outside the scope you sign. Every finding is checked by a second engineer.

  1. ScopeWe agree what is in scope, the sources, and the contacts.
  2. AuthorizeYou sign the engagement letter and, for testing, the rules of engagement.
  3. Review or testCustos engineers review tools and data, or test your AI system.
  4. DecideYou decide which findings to fix, and in what order.
  5. RetestFixed findings are retested, and the report updated.

Shadow AI Review

Find out where your data goes when your staff use AI.

The $2,500 review inventories every AI tool in use, maps the data reaching each one, and checks the vendor terms, in about two weeks.

How the two tracks work · Pricing

Pricing

Fixed fees to start. Monthly only if you want it.

You know the cost of each service before you commit.

Staff AI use

The shadow AI review is $2,500. Policy and controls are $4,500. Both fixed, for organizations up to 500 staff.

AI you build

The red-team assessment starts from $7,500, set by scope at scoping, with one retest included.

Ongoing

Monitoring is a monthly fee, quoted by the tools, staff, and systems in scope.

Assessments report what was tested, how, and what was found within the agreed scope. No assessment can show that a system is free of every weakness.

Always yours

Decisions that stay with you.

We find, test, and report. These stay with a named person in your organization, every time.

Our standards

Seven rules for every engagement.

Each one is in the engagement letter or the rules of engagement, so you can hold us to it.

INothing is tested without your signature.Scope, methods, environment, and contacts are signed before any test begins.

SCOPE

Authorized first.

Only what you sign, only how you agreed.

  1. IIStaging by default.Production testing only with explicit written approval and limits.
  2. IIINo installed software.Reviews use access you choose to share, read-only.

EVIDENCE

Every finding shown.

You can reproduce what we report.

  1. IVEvidence with every finding.Steps, screenshots, or records your engineers can check.
  2. VA second engineer reviews.No finding reaches you unchecked.

CANDOR

Limits stated.

What was tested, and what was not.

  1. VINo “secure” stamp.Reports say what was tested, never that nothing is left to find.
  2. VIIFixes, not fear.Every finding comes with a specific, proportionate fix.

Why “Custos”

Custos is Latin for guardian. Juvenal asked the old question: who guards the guardians? Our answer is evidence: every finding shown, every test authorized, every limit stated. Custos is a service of Sophrono. Read the story.
