Security testing for Retrieval-Augmented Generation systems, from retrieval poisoning to cross-user data exposure.
What is RAG Security Testing?
RAG security testing assesses retrieval-augmented systems: the vector store, the retrieval logic and how retrieved content is fed to the model. It covers poisoning, leakage and access-control flaws unique to RAG.
Why it matters
RAG connects your model to your data, which is exactly what makes it risky. Poisoned documents can carry indirect injection, and weak retrieval controls can surface one user's data to another.
How Solusec tests it
We test the whole RAG pipeline: whether retrieval respects permissions, whether poisoned content can hijack the model, and whether the store can be made to leak, then recommend fixes at each stage.
AI testing, led by a human
Solusec is one of the first firms worldwide accredited under CREST's AI-Enabled Penetration Testing standard, so our use of AI is independently assured: responsible, transparent and always human-led. You get faster, broader testing, your data stays out of public AI tools, and every finding is validated by a qualified tester. Read about the accreditation.
What you get
You get a clear, prioritised report mapped to business risk, a walkthrough of every finding with practical fixes your developers can action, and a free retest once you have remediated. No scanner dump, no jargon, no sales team: you deal directly with the tester.
Common questions
What is RAG?
Retrieval-Augmented Generation: the model retrieves your documents at query time to ground its answers. It is the most common enterprise LLM pattern.
Can RAG leak data between users?
If retrieval does not enforce per-user permissions, yes. We test specifically for this.
How quickly can testing start?
After a short, free scoping call we give a fixed price and a start date, often within days.
Is your AI use safe and independently assured?
Yes. Solusec holds CREST's AI-Enabled Penetration Testing accreditation, which independently assures that our AI use is responsible, secure and human-led.
