AI Security, Research & Development

AI Security.
Cybersecurity &
Hardware Assurance.

We assess AI systems, review security architecture, and examine devices and firmware. We also build secure integrations and help your team put the findings into practice.

The work, from software to the bench

Technical services

Find the right service.

Choose a review for the system you run, the integration you are building or the device you need to examine.

AI Security

What can your agent read, change and send?

Find out how your AI systems handle sensitive data and actions. We assess existing workflows, build controlled integrations and help resolve security findings.

  • Agent, MCP, RAG & coding reviews
  • Secure implementation & remediation
  • Independent control review & workshops

Cybersecurity

Do the controls hold up in the actual system?

Get a technical review of your architecture, security controls or vendor claims. We help engineering teams, leadership, counsel and MSPs understand what needs attention.

  • Security due diligence & technical risk
  • Security advisory & executive briefings
  • MSP support & expert review

Device & Firmware Assessments

What is inside the device, and how does it behave?

Examine how a device is built, the components it contains and the firmware it runs. OASIS lab methods help answer questions about its condition, materials and behavior.

  • Device inspection & component checks
  • Electrical & thermal checks
  • Firmware & materials analysis
Compare assessment options

OASIS / Device & Firmware Assessments

Some questions need a workbench.

A device review can turn on a component marking, a changed connection or a difference in materials. In OASIS, we examine the hardware alongside its firmware and measured behavior.

Explore the lab methods
Device & component inspection
Stereo microscopy, board inspection and comparison against reference materials.
Electrical & thermal behavior
Bench measurements and thermal imaging tied to the device and question in scope.
Firmware & materials
Firmware analysis, FTIR spectroscopy and wet-lab methods where they fit the assessment.

How we work

Know what was tested
and what needs to change.

Each engagement starts with the system and question in scope. We document the tests or engineering changes, the findings and any unresolved issues, so your team can review the work and plan the next step.
