The reality

Your AI Advantage Is Also Your Newest Risk

Adoption is racing ahead of the controls meant to keep it safe. The public data shows where the gaps are.

Tools alone don’t close this gap. A governed program does. InterSec is ISO/IEC 42001:2023 certified and runs its own Secure AI framework, so the discipline we build for you is the one we hold ourselves to.

Proof, not promises

We Run the Framework We Recommend

InterSec holds ISO/IEC 42001:2023 certification for our own AI management system. The governance discipline we build for you is the one we operate ourselves, so the guidance you get is grounded in practice, not theory.

That is the difference between a vendor that read the standard and a partner that lives by it.

What we build on
  • ISO/IEC 42001:2023

    The AI management system standard. We hold the certification and implement it for clients.

  • ISO/IEC 27001

    The information-security backbone most AI governance extends from.

  • OWASP Top 10 for LLMs

    The baseline our AI security assessments test against.

What we deliver

Our AI Services

Our AI services run from ISO/IEC 42001 compliance through assessment, governance, and ongoing monitoring. Each one maps to recognized frameworks like ISO/IEC 42001 and the OWASP Top 10 for Large Language Model Applications.

That means your program holds up when a regulator, customer, or partner asks for evidence. We support federal, state, and commercial teams alike.

ISO/IEC 42001 Compliance and Readiness

We take you from gap assessment to an audit-ready AI management system, the same standard we hold ourselves.

AI Security Assessments

We test your AI systems against the OWASP Top 10 for LLMs and hand you a prioritized list of what to fix first.

AI Governance and Risk Management

We stand up the policies, roles, controls, and risk scoring a defensible AI program needs.

Secure AI Development and Deployment

We build security into your models, pipelines, and integrations before weaknesses reach production.

Privacy-Preserving AI

We keep sensitive and regulated data protected as it moves through training and inference.

Threat Detection and Monitoring for AI

We help you spot, contain, and keep watch for attacks aimed at AI, from prompt injection to model abuse.

Ethical AI and Bias Mitigation

We check models for bias and document the fairness evidence stakeholders ask for.

AI Security Training

We give your engineers and data teams the hands-on skills to use AI safely.

How it works

How a Secure AI Engagement Works

Most engagements follow the same path, scaled to where you are. You can start small and take it as far as you want.

  1. 1

    Readiness assessment

    Baseline

    We baseline where your AI use and governance stand today, including the Shadow AI most teams can’t see.

  2. 2

    Prioritize the gaps

    Plan

    We rank what we find by real risk and hand you a clear, sequenced plan you can act on, not a stack of findings.

  3. 3

    Build governance and controls

    Build

    Policies, roles, and technical controls, aligned to ISO/IEC 42001 and the OWASP Top 10 for LLMs.

  4. 4

    Monitor and improve

    Sustain

    We watch how your AI behaves over time and adjust controls as your models and the threats change.

In practice

Secure AI in Practice

The kinds of problems we help teams solve across finance, healthcare, and the non-profit sector.

01 Finance

Protecting an AI Fraud-Detection Model

The challenge

A bank needs to defend its AI-driven fraud detection against threats like data poisoning and adversarial inputs flagged in the OWASP Top 10 for LLMs.

Our approach

We train the IT and data science teams on how these attacks work, then help build the defenses into how models are developed and shipped.

The outcome

Stronger protection around customer assets and more confidence in the controls behind their AI.

02 Healthcare

Validating an AI Diagnostic Tool

The challenge

A hospital network needs to confirm a new AI-powered diagnostic tool is secure and handles patient data in line with HIPAA.

Our approach

Our assessment, guided by the OWASP Top 10 for LLMs, surfaces gaps in data storage and model validation, with a clear remediation plan and stronger encryption and validation controls.

The outcome

Audit-ready evidence and a measurably lower risk of a data breach.

03 Non-Profit

Governing AI for a Non-Profit

The challenge

A non-profit using AI for climate modeling needs to show donors its systems are transparent, fair, and handled in line with GDPR.

Our approach

We put an AI governance program in place, with clear policies for data protection, model transparency, and bias mitigation.

The outcome

Documented, defensible AI governance that holds up to donor and regulator scrutiny.

The InterSec difference

Why InterSec?

Securing AI takes more than a tool. It takes a partner. Our program rests on five pillars.

GRC at the Core

We treat AI risk as a governance problem, not just a technical one. We don’t just find vulnerabilities. We build defensible, audit-ready programs.

Audit-Ready Evidence

Everything we produce is proof you can hand to an auditor, a board, or a customer. Clear, usable, and ready the moment someone asks you to show it.

A True Partnership

We work as an extension of your team. Your people build real skills as we go, so you are stronger after the engagement, not dependent on us.

Across the Whole Lifecycle

Point tools fix one piece. We cover the arc, from first assessment and policy through secure development and the monitoring that keeps it honest.

Expert-Led, Not Just AI-Driven

Technology matters, but our edge is people. You get GRC and cybersecurity experts who bring the judgment, threat intelligence, and hands-on guidance automated tools alone cannot.

Secure AI FAQ

Secure AI questions, answered

What is ISO/IEC 42001 and why does it matter for AI?

ISO/IEC 42001 is the international standard for an AI management system. It gives an organization a repeatable way to govern how AI is selected, built, and operated, covering risk assessment, roles and responsibilities, and controls across the AI lifecycle. It is the AI counterpart to what ISO/IEC 27001 does for information security.

It matters because most AI risk is governance risk. Buyers, regulators, and partners increasingly want evidence that your AI is managed, not just deployed. Consult your compliance or legal team for final interpretation of how the standard applies to you.

We already hold ISO/IEC 27001. How much of ISO 42001 is already in place?

A large share of the foundation. The two standards share the same management-system backbone: context, leadership, the risk process, internal audit, and continual improvement. If your ISMS is healthy, much of that structure carries over, and the new work concentrates on AI-specific risks like data provenance, model behavior, and human oversight. We break this down in our analysis of the ISO 27001 to ISO 42001 overlap.

What is Shadow AI, and how do you find it?

Shadow AI is the unsanctioned use of AI tools by employees, outside any policy or review. It is common, and it is where a lot of sensitive data quietly leaves the building. We start with technical discovery to map where AI is actually used across your environment, then bring that usage under a governance policy your team can sustain. Our walkthrough on mapping Shadow AI shows the approach.

Do you align to the OWASP Top 10 for LLMs?

Yes. Our AI security assessments use the OWASP Top 10 for Large Language Model Applications as a baseline, covering risks such as prompt injection, insecure output handling, training-data poisoning, and model denial of service. According to OWASP, these are among the most common and serious weaknesses in LLM-based systems.

Is InterSec itself certified for AI management?

Yes. InterSec holds ISO/IEC 42001:2023 certification for its own AI management system. We run the same governance discipline internally that we help clients build, so the guidance you receive is grounded in practice, not theory.

Where does a Secure AI engagement usually start?

Most start with a readiness assessment. We baseline where your AI use and governance stand today, flag the gaps that carry the most risk, and hand you a prioritized path. From there we can support policy development, secure deployment, and ongoing monitoring as far as you want to take it.
