RAG Security Assessment

Check who can retrieve each document before expanding your RAG system.

Review tenant isolation, document permissions and generated responses in retrieval-augmented systems.

Why commission the review

A retrieved passage, citation or generated answer can expose a document to someone who cannot open the source. Review whether your RAG system preserves document permissions through retrieval and response generation.

Best fit: Security, data platform, AI product, and enterprise SaaS teams shipping RAG features over sensitive or multi-tenant data.

Scope

Retrieval architecture, tenant and role authorization, vector indexes and metadata filters, query rewriting, document trust, prompt assembly, injection pathways, source attribution, and response controls.

What you receive

Findings on document access and data exposure.

A map of document access, tests for cross-user and cross-tenant exposure, and findings with fixes for retrieval and response controls.

Timeline

Typically 10 business days from kickoff and access confirmation.

Retrieval authorization path

Carry document permissions through to the answer.

We check permissions at retrieval, prompt assembly and response generation. A document that the requester cannot open should not become an answer or citation they can read.

Tenant boundary

Which organization or data domain owns the request?

Role boundary

What is this user or service identity allowed to access?

Source boundary

Which document, index, metadata filter, or connector can contribute material?

Context boundary

What retrieved content and embedded instructions enter the model prompt?

Response boundary

Could the answer or citation expose material the requester cannot access?

Assessment detail

The proposal identifies the systems and tests included. The report records findings, unavailable access and any checks that could not be completed.

RAG Isolation Findings

Findings on tenant, role, document, source, and metadata boundaries before retrieved content reaches model context.

Retrieval Boundary Review

Assess how user identity, tenant membership, metadata filters, and query rewriting affect what material can be retrieved.

Source Authorization Matrix

Matrix showing which sources require authorization, attribution, trust labeling, filtering, or exclusion from generation.

Prompt-Injection Resilience Notes

Review how instructions embedded in documents, emails, webpages, and tool output can influence retrieval and response behavior.

Remediation plan for customer review

Prepare a concise technical summary of isolation controls, known limits, and remediation priorities for customer security teams.

What the review covers

Check retrieval and response controls together.

  • Designed for RAG systems that combine sensitive content, search, and generated responses
  • Covers tenant boundaries, authorization checks, retrieval filters, and response behavior together
  • Each finding identifies the affected retrieval or access control and a recommended change

When to use it

Before adding sensitive data or another tenant.

Use this before enterprise security review, customer launch, multi-tenant rollout, or expansion into higher-sensitivity document sets.
