Secure the AI you're
building your business on.
Bastion delivers AI security and governance for the regulated mid-market — defense, healthcare, and manufacturing. We red team your models, build a defensible AI program, and keep it running as your footprint grows.
The attack surface moved. Most programs haven't.
Most organizations now use AI in some form — copilots in the browser, models in production, agents connected to internal tools. Policy, inventory, and testing often haven't caught up, and that gap is where data leakage and compliance issues tend to appear.
The model itself is rarely the real risk. The orchestrator around it — the tools it can call, the data it can reach, the actions it can take — is the true attack surface. Our work starts there, mapped to the frameworks your regulators and customers already recognize.
AI Red Teaming & Model Testing
Adversarial testing of your LLMs, copilots, and agents — the highest-signal way to know whether your AI can be turned against you. Manual campaigns plus tooling, every finding tied to a named technique.
Scope a red teamPrompt injection & jailbreaks
Direct and indirect injection, system-prompt extraction, and guardrail bypass.
Data exfiltration & leakage
Sensitive-data disclosure through retrieval, memory, and tool responses.
Agent & tool abuse
Unbounded tool calls, privilege misuse, and MCP server weaknesses.
Model supply chain
Third-party models, plugins, and pipelines reviewed end to end.
Multi-turn campaigns
Crescendo and chained attacks that single-shot tests miss.
Mapped to ATLAS & OWASP
Findings tied to MITRE ATLAS and the OWASP LLM & Agentic Top 10.
AI Governance & ISO 42001 Readiness
A defensible AI management system, not a binder nobody reads. We inventory where AI touches your business, quantify the risk, and build the controls — mapped to ISO/IEC 42001 and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework.
Start with an inventoryAI use inventory
Discover shadow AI and catalog every model, tool, and integration.
Acceptable use policy
Clear, enforceable rules your team will actually follow.
AI risk register
Risks tiered and mapped to NIST AI RMF: Govern, Map, Measure, Manage.
ISO 42001 gap assessment
AIMS readiness against Annex A, with a prioritized path to conformance.
Statement of Applicability
Annex A SoA and impact assessments aligned to ISO/IEC 42005.
EU AI Act alignment
High-risk obligations mapped where they apply to your systems.
AI Governance vCISO
Governance is not a one-time deliverable. As your AI footprint grows, we provide the ongoing oversight — the recurring layer that keeps innovation moving without outrunning your controls.
Talk about a retainerShadow-AI discovery
Continuous discovery as new tools enter the business.
Vendor & model review
Supply-chain posture on the AI vendors you depend on.
Policy lifecycle
Policies kept current as capability and regulation change.
Executive reporting
Board-ready reporting that frames AI risk in business terms.
Control monitoring
Ongoing validation that guardrails and controls still hold.
Incident readiness
Playbooks for when an AI system behaves in ways it shouldn't.
Where to start — and where it goes.
Most clients begin with an inventory and grow into a governed program. Each step stands on its own and builds toward the next.
AI Use Inventory & Acceptable Use Policy
Two weeks, fixed fee. Identify where AI is in use and put a clear policy in place.
AI Red Team Assessment
Adversarial testing of your priority models, copilots, and agents.
ISO 42001 Readiness & AI Risk Assessment
AIMS gap assessment, AI system inventory, AI risk register, and Annex A Statement of Applicability, mapped to NIST AI RMF.
AI Governance vCISO Retainer
Recurring oversight that fits alongside your existing Bastion security program.
Focused on regulated industries adopting AI.
Our work centers on defense, healthcare, and manufacturing — three sectors where AI risk and regulation are both significant.
Defense & DIB
GCC High environments, CMMC, and the coming NDAA Section 1513 ("CMMC for AI"). We help contractors prepare early.
Healthcare AI
Ambient scribes and clinical copilots are increasingly common and often unassessed. Our HIPAA experience is the starting point.
Manufacturing & OT
Vision QC, predictive maintenance, and copilots connected to historians. We help secure AI as it reaches the plant floor.
The frameworks we build from.
Every engagement is anchored to recognized standards — so your AI program stands up to auditors, customers, and regulators.
The model is rarely the risk. The orchestrator around it — its tools, data, and actions — is the real attack surface.
AI security questions, answered.
AI red teaming is adversarial testing of AI systems such as LLMs, copilots, and agents. It probes for prompt injection, data exfiltration, jailbreaks, and tool abuse — then maps every finding to frameworks like MITRE ATLAS and the OWASP Top 10 for LLM and Agentic applications, so you know exactly what your AI can and can't be made to do.
ISO/IEC 42001 is the international standard for an AI management system (AIMS). It sets requirements for governing AI responsibly — including AI risk management, an AI system inventory, and Annex A controls. Bastion provides ISO 42001 readiness and gap assessments that get you audit-ready.
The NIST AI Risk Management Framework is a voluntary US framework built around four functions — Govern, Map, Measure, and Manage. ISO 42001 is a certifiable management-system standard. They're complementary: we map your AI risk to NIST AI RMF while building the AIMS that ISO 42001 requires.
Yes. Most organizations already have shadow AI — staff using tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, or embedded AI features without policy or oversight. Even when the model is vendor-owned, you remain accountable for how AI touches your data. An AI use inventory and acceptable use policy is the fastest way to regain control.
NDAA Section 1513 directs the Department of Defense to establish an AI security and assurance approach that is expected to flow into DFARS and CMMC over time. The framework is still being written, so defense contractors can benefit from preparing now. We help with CMMC readiness and secure enclave environments so you're ready as the requirements take shape.
Start with a clear view of your AI use.
A two-week AI use inventory and acceptable use policy is a practical first step to see where you stand.
