SUZU Offensive Security Solutions
AI & LLM Penetration Testing
You're deploying AI fast. But are you securing it just as quickly? Suzu Labs tests AI systems the way real adversaries do, probing LLM integrations, prompt injection paths, data leakage risks, model abuse, and API exposures so your innovation doesn't become your next breach.
Test AI Systems Like an Attacker Would
AI risk isn't theoretical. Prompt injection, data poisoning, insecure model APIs, and privilege escalation through LLM integrations are already being exploited. Our human-led testing evaluates your AI stack including APIs, plugins, data sources, and access controls so you understand real exploit paths, not just policy gaps.
What We Test in AI & LLM Environments
AI systems expand your attack surface. We test where adversaries are already looking.
Prompt Injection & Jailbreaks
We simulate malicious prompt crafting to bypass guardrails and extract sensitive data or override system constraints.
Data Leakage & Exposure
We test for unintended disclosure of internal data, training artifacts, secrets, and cross-tenant leakage.
Identity & Access Abuse
We assess how AI integrates with IAM systems and whether privilege escalation is possible through LLM workflows.
Insecure Plugin & Integration Risk
We test third-party plugins, automation hooks, and external connectors that expand AI attack paths.
Penetration Testing
Companies turn to pentesting when they need real answers, not assumptions.
Maybe a customer is asking for proof, a compliance requirement is coming up, or they simply want to know if they’re actually protected.
Suzu Labs safely tests your systems the way a real attacker would, so you can see where things could break before it becomes a real problem.

-
Show clients, vendors, and stakeholders that your security has been tested by real experts, not just assumed to be secure.
-
Turn one-time testing into ongoing validation so your security keeps up with new threats, not just audit cycles.

What We Test: Web-App, Mobile App, API, External Network, Internal Network, WIFI, Cloud, IoT, Physical.
Hardware Hacking
This usually comes up when something is on the line. A new device launch, customer trust, or protecting intellectual property.
We evaluate the security of your hardware and embedded systems to ensure they can’t be easily exploited, cloned, or manipulated in the real world.

Questions
AI/LLM Penetration Testing FAQs
AI/LLM Penetration Testing evaluates how attackers could manipulate or abuse AI-powered systems such as chatbots, RAG pipelines, and AI agents. It focuses on risks unique to language models, including prompt injection, data leakage, and unauthorized tool execution.
We test customer-facing chatbots, internal chatbots and AI assistants, RAG pipelines, AI agents with tool access, AI-powered search and recommendation systems, and custom models deployed via API. If your system uses a language model to make decisions, generate content, or interact with users or data, it’s in scope.
Yes, the OWASP Top 10 for Large Language Models is a baseline for our methodology. It covers prompt injection, insecure output handling, training data poisoning, model denial of service, supply chain vulnerabilities, and more. But we don’t stop at the OWASP list. Our operators develop and maintain custom attack techniques based on active research and real-world engagements that go beyond published frameworks. The threat landscape for AI systems is evolving faster than any standards body can keep up with, and our testing reflects that.
Yes. We actively attempt direct and indirect prompt injection, multi-turn coercion, and jailbreak techniques to determine whether safeguards can be bypassed or degraded over time.
We evaluate whether AI systems can misuse connected tools, escalate privileges, access unauthorized data, or trigger unintended actions across integrated systems.
We need access to the AI-powered features being tested, which typically means user accounts, API endpoints, and documentation on how the AI system is integrated into your application. If the system uses plugins or connects to external tools, we need visibility into those integrations. For RAG-based systems, understanding what data sources the model retrieves from helps us test for data leakage and retrieval manipulation effectively.
Most AI/LLM engagements run one to three weeks depending on the number of AI-driven features, the complexity of integrations (plugins, tools, data sources), and how many user roles or access levels interact with the AI system. We provide a clear timeline during scoping, and if we discover a critical finding that poses an imminent threat, we escalate it to your team immediately.
Testing is carefully scoped and coordinated to avoid disruption. When validating findings, we use safe exploitation techniques designed to prove impact without harming systems, data, or users.
The report is the beginning, not the end. You get a live debrief with the operators who ran the engagement, walking through every finding, its real-world impact, and specific remediation steps. If your team needs hands-on help remediating, we can work alongside your engineers to close the gaps. Once fixes are in place, we conduct retesting to verify they’re resolved.
AI / LLM Security Testing vs. Web Application Pentesting
