Proposed engagement approach
Define the mission. Set the boundaries. Validate the work.
Start with a bounded question and explicit authority. Agree what will be built or evaluated, what evidence is required and who owns the result before expanding the scope.
Discuss your security use caseA proposal to scope together
Each step should leave
something you can review.
The sequence below is a proposed engagement model. Deliverables, responsibilities and timing are agreed for the actual work.
- 01
Define the use case
Name the question, its decision owner and success or failure conditions. Start small enough to evaluate.
Proposed artifactScope and decision-owner record
- 02
Map the boundaries
Identify data, systems, constraints and permissions. Make excluded actions as explicit as permitted ones.
Proposed artifactContext and boundary map
- 03
Agree the evaluation
Decide what evidence would justify moving forward, including adversarial inputs, missing data and failure behavior.
Proposed artifactRequirements and acceptance criteria
- 04
Build or assess within scope
Review the work against agreed cases. Expose uncertainty and unresolved risks rather than treating a demonstration as a release decision.
Proposed artifactReviewable work and evaluation evidence
- 05
Authorize and hand off
An accountable owner decides on deployment. Document operating limits, maintenance ownership and recovery.
Proposed artifactApproval, operating and recovery plan
“Not yet” is
a valid decision.
A failed evaluation, missing authority or an unresolved dependency can stop the work. Capture the reason, narrow the scope or revise the design before trying again.
Scope changes should change the acceptance criteria and permissions deliberately—not silently expand an agent’s authority.
Apply the approach
Start with the right question.
Secure your AI project
Define security across data, identities, models and tools—not just the model in isolation.
02Define your security agent
Shape a bounded agent around approved evidence, fresh context and your decision criteria.
03Extend your security operations
Scope an AI-assisted workflow alongside your stack, your analysts and your CONOPS.
04Build defensive tools with your team
Turn an authorized task into reviewable code, validation evidence and a maintainable handoff.
Start a conversation
Start with a bounded use case.
What do you want to protect or improve? Bring the objective, the operating constraints, and the questions your team needs to answer.
Discuss your security use caseKeep the first conversation high level and nonsensitive.
