AI Security Consulting Services

Enterprise AI creates an attack surface your security stack can't see and attackers are already exploiting it in 2025.

Common scenarios we see

• Teams paste customer data into third-party AI tools without governance, creating unlogged exposure
• RAG returns sensitive context without query-time authorization or data minimization
• Agents have broad tool scopes and no action verification or sandboxing
• Shadow AI spreads across departments while security has no telemetry
• Customer questionnaires require AI control evidence that is slow to produce

The risks of poor AI security

• $670,000 additional breach cost for organizations with high shadow AI usage (Source: IBM, 2025)
• €35 million maximum fines under EU AI Act for prohibited practices—enforcement active since August 2025
• 485% increase in corporate data uploaded to AI tools in just one year (Source: Cyberhaven, 2024)
• 35% of AI incidents in 2025 caused by simple prompts, some triggering $100K+ losses (Source: Adversa AI, 2025)

AI Security Consulting Services by STX Next

‍End-to-end hardening of RAG systems and AI agents with compliance documentation.

→ 60-90% reduction in sensitive data exposure through minimization and retrieval hygiene
→ 50%+ fewer security exceptions at release gates using pre-approved patterns
→ Audit evidence in days via policy-as-code and automated templates

We eliminate blind spots through secure-by-design architecture aligned to industry frameworks and regulatory requirements.

Phase 1: AI Security Assessment (2-4 weeks)

• Complete AI asset inventory including shadow AI detection across your network
• Threat modeling with compliance impact assessment and risk scoring
• Maturity assessment with prioritized remediation roadmap and immediate quick-wins

Phase 2: Architect (4-8 weeks)

• Secure RAG blueprints: data minimization, query-time authorization, context filtering
• Agent safety templates: tool sandboxing, action verification, least-privilege permissions
• Policy-as-code implementation with automated governance and compliance documentation

Phase 3: Harden (6-12 weeks per use case)

• Guardrail deployment with adversarial testing and automated evaluations in CI/CD
• AI-specific telemetry integration: privacy-aware logging, behavioral monitoring, SIEM detection
• Production security validation with evidence packages for audits and customer reviews

Phase 4: Operate (ongoing)

• Continuous monitoring of attack patterns, model drift, and security control effectiveness
• AI incident response procedures with regulatory notification templates and escalation playbooks
• Quarterly compliance updates as regulatory requirements phase in through 2027

Based on our enterprise AI security implementations, meaningful risk reduction appears within 4-6 weeks, with full audit readiness in one quarter.

Complete Control in Weeks

• Full AI asset inventory with documented ownership replacing unknown shadow usage
• Systematic vulnerability coverage with remediation SLAs replacing ad-hoc risk management
• Automated compliance documentation in days replacing weeks of manual evidence gathering

Accelerated Secure Delivery

• 50%+ faster releases through pre-approved patterns and reduced security exceptions
• Real-time monitoring with detection capabilities integrated into existing SIEM/XDR systems
• Audit-ready documentation for EU AI Act compliance and customer security reviews

Enterprise Sales Acceleration

• Security questionnaire responses backed by concrete implementation evidence and third-party validation
• Demonstrable AI security program maturity that differentiates in competitive deals

Your AI initiatives move from "blocked by security concerns" to "approved with documented controls" in weeks, not quarters.

Will AI security consulting slow down our development velocity?

No. Our secure patterns actually accelerate delivery by eliminating late-stage security exceptions and rework cycles. Pre-approved architectural components and automated testing reduce friction between development and security teams.

We have enterprise security tools, why do we need AI-specific controls?

Traditional SAST/DAST and SIEM systems don't understand prompt manipulation, retrieval chain attacks, or agent tool misuse. We add AI-aware detection without replacing your existing investments.

Howdo you prevent sensitive data exposure in AI interactions?

Through data minimization at the prompt level, query-time access controls, privacy-aware logging, and context filtering that typically reduces PII exposure by 60-90% while maintaining AI system functionality.

What's the measurable ROI of AI security consulting services investments?

We track concrete metrics: reduced security exceptions, faster audit evidence production, lower attack success rates, and decreased incident response costs. Strong AI security correlates with measurable operational efficiency gains.

Can this integrate with our current security and development infrastructure?

Yes, we stream AI telemetry to your existing SIEM/XDR and embed security evaluations into current CI/CD pipelines. No technology replacement required, just enhanced visibility and control.

How do you address autonomous AI and agent safety risks?

Through least-privilege tool access, mandatory action verification, sandbox environments, and egress monitoring that prevents unintended system interactions while maintaining agent functionality.

What about ongoing EU AI Act compliance as regulations evolve?

We maintain conformance documentation and update control implementations as regulatory requirements phase in through 2027, ensuring continuous compliance without operational disruption.

How quickly can we start seeing AI security improvements?

Assessment begins within two weeks; initial risk reduction through shadow AI elimination and basic guardrails typically appears within 4-6 weeks of engagement start.
