AI Security Verification Standard (AISVS)

Conduct comprehensive security verification of AI-driven applications using the OWASP AI Security Verification Standard (AISVS) framework's 13-category structured checklist.

Steps

1. Training Data Governance & Bias Management — Assess data quality, provenance, bias detection, and governance controls throughout the data lifecycle.

2. User Input Validation — Evaluate input sanitization, prompt injection defenses, adversarial input detection, and boundary validation mechanisms.

3. Model Lifecycle Management & Change Control — Review model versioning, deployment controls, rollback capabilities, and change management processes.

4. Infrastructure, Configuration & Deployment Security — Examine deployment security, container hardening, network controls, and infrastructure configuration.

5. Access Control & Identity — Verify authentication mechanisms, authorization controls, privilege management, and identity governance.

6. Supply Chain Security for Models, Frameworks & Data — Assess third-party model security, dependency management, and supply chain integrity.

7. Model Behavior, Output Control & Safety Assurance — Evaluate output validation, safety guardrails, behavior monitoring, and harmful content prevention.

8. Memory, Embeddings & Vector Database Security — Review vector database security, embedding protection, memory isolation, and context management.

9. Autonomous Orchestration & Agentic Action Security — Assess agent coordination security, tool access controls, and autonomous decision-making safeguards.

10. Adversarial Robustness & Attack Resistance — Test resilience against adversarial examples, evasion attacks, and model extraction attempts.

11. Privacy Protection & Personal Data Management — Verify privacy controls, data minimization, consent management, and regulatory compliance.

12. Monitoring, Logging & Anomaly Detection — Evaluate security monitoring, audit logging, anomaly detection, and incident response capabilities.

13. Human Oversight and Trust — Assess human-in-the-loop controls, explainability mechanisms, and trust calibration measures.

Output

Use the finding format from templates/finding.md. Produce:

• AISVS Compliance Assessment — Verification status across all 13 categories
• Security Control Evaluation — Detailed analysis of implemented controls
• Gap Analysis — Missing or inadequate security measures
• Risk-Based Prioritization — Critical findings requiring immediate attention
• Compliance Roadmap — Structured plan to achieve AISVS compliance
• Verification Evidence — Documentation supporting compliance claims
