AI Security / CORE SERVICE

AI Architecture & Engineering

Secure AI architecture and engineering for agents, private LLM deployments, cloud AI services, and development workflows handling sensitive data.

THE WORK, IN CONTEXT

AI Architecture & Engineering, with a clear purpose.

AI Architecture & Engineering is design and hardening work, not testing. It covers agents that act on your behalf, models you host on your own hardware or inside a sealed network, and AI services you rent from a cloud provider. It also covers the pipeline that ships your AI features and the AI built into your own security tools. Each service produces a design or a set of applied changes with evidence, not a list of vulnerabilities; when you want the finished system attacked, our AI Security Testing core does that. We scope in writing, then review your architecture, code, and configuration by hand alongside your engineers, recording every decision and exact change with its owner named. We then confirm each change was made and package the evidence your customers, auditors, and contracts ask for. It is built for data that cannot leave: CUI, ITAR and EAR technical data, PHI, and the models, code, and trade secrets that are the product.

A GOOD FIT WHEN

For CTOs, platform leads, and compliance owners building or operating AI on regulated data: defense contractors handling CUI, exporters with ITAR or EAR technical data, covered entities with PHI, and companies whose models, code, and prompts are the product. Engage before a design is committed, before a rented AI service goes live, or when a customer or assessor asks how the AI system is secured.

THE WORK BEHIND THE SERVICE

What we do.
What you can use.

Scope the system and the data it holds

We start with the architecture you have or intend: agents, models, serving stack, rented AI services, pipelines, and their data class. We agree in writing which focused services apply, the environments and accounts we may read, and who holds write access. We name the rules that govern the design: the defense requirements for CUI, the export rules for ITAR and EAR, or health-data privacy.

Design and harden setting by setting

The principal who scoped the work does the review and the design. We read your code, infrastructure definitions, and live configuration by hand, draw the data-flow and trust diagram, and write each control as a specific change: the role, the policy, the setting. Your engineers apply the changes with us on a call or from the written instruction; we never take standing administrative access.

Validate changes and package evidence

You receive the design set, the change list with the exact change for each item, and a mapping of every control to the standard your contract names. After the changes land we confirm each with evidence, such as before-and-after output or screenshots, and file it in the compliance package your customers and auditors expect. Design work is readiness; an independent assessor performs the assessment.

Substantive answers.

01 / AI Architecture & Engineering

Agentic & Multi-Agent System Architecture

Trust boundaries, tool permissions, approval points, and one identity per agent, designed for systems that act on your behalf.

  • Inventory of agents, orchestrators, tools, memory stores, and models, with every point where untrusted content enters the reasoning loop
  • Threat model of goal hijacking, tool misuse, memory poisoning, and cascading failures between agents, mapped to recognized agent-risk categories
  • Agent identity design: one identity per agent, acting as itself or as the user per tool, short-lived credentials, and hardened connections to outside tools

02 / AI Architecture & Engineering

Private & Self-Hosted LLM Deployment

Model and weight integrity, inference server hardening, GPU host isolation, segmentation, and access control for on-premises, private cloud, and air-gapped deployments.

  • Data classification per workload and the rules that govern it: defense contractor, export-control, or health-data requirements
  • Model intake: approved publishers only, unsafe file formats blocked, fingerprint and signature verification before load, and a registry that records provenance
  • Model server hardening: a strict gateway allowlist, scoped authentication, lowest-privilege service, unused interfaces turned off, and encrypted internal traffic

03 / AI Architecture & Engineering

Cloud AI Service Hardening

Identity and keys, private networking, guardrails, data use and retention, and logging for the AI services you rent from a cloud provider, setting by setting.

  • Identity and keys: managed identities and scoped roles instead of static keys, regular key rotation, and customer-managed encryption keys where required
  • Private networking with public access disabled, so the service is reachable only from your own network
  • Guardrail configuration: content, prompt-injection, and sensitive-information filters tuned to each data class

04 / AI Architecture & Engineering

Secure AI Development Lifecycle Integration

Design-time requirements, AI-specific threat modeling, and automated and manual gates placed in the delivery pipeline you already run, each leaving an artifact.

  • Gap assessment of the current lifecycle against recognized secure AI development and AI risk-management practices
  • Design-time AI security requirements attached to intake, with misuse and abuse cases written per feature
  • Threat models on prompt, retrieval, tool, and memory flows, mapped to recognized AI and agent risk catalogs, converted to acceptance criteria

05 / AI Architecture & Engineering

AI-Enabled Security Operations

AI models and agents integrated into your security monitoring, automation, and analyst workflows with least-privilege identity, human gates on write actions, and every action logged.

  • Use-case register tiered as read-only, read-only with analyst review, or write, with controls per tier
  • Analyst role and agent identity design: least-privilege roles in your identity system, scoped agent identities, and a tool allowlist
  • Data-handling settings per product: data sharing, prompt evaluation location, training terms, and government cloud fit, confirmed against current documentation

WHAT YOU TAKE FORWARD

Built to support the next decision.

  • Architecture diagram set showing agents, models, data stores, identities, and approval gates for each system in scope
  • Change list with the exact configuration, policy, or code change and the engineer who owns each item
  • Control mapping to the defense, export, health-data, or SOC 2 requirements your data demands, in the form your contract names
  • Validation report with command output or screenshots for each applied control
  • Evidence pack filed for your compliance documentation, health-data risk analysis, or a customer security review

The selected services, deliverables, access requirements, and any follow-up validation are agreed in your engagement scope.
