LLM & agent red teaming
Prompt injection, indirect injection, tool misuse, multi-turn attacks, and authorization failures.
Test plan · transcripts · confirmed findingsAI security consulting
Cordon Security finds prompt-injection, unsafe tool use, and authorization failures in LLM applications and AI agents. For client work, Bill runs the test with ARES and reviews every finding.
Services
Cordon Security works in its own lab or against systems you have authorized Bill to test. The focus is on AI systems that read untrusted data, call tools, change state, or make security decisions.
Prompt injection, indirect injection, tool misuse, multi-turn attacks, and authorization failures.
Test plan · transcripts · confirmed findingsBill reproduces suspected failures in an isolated lab or an approved environment and checks them against a defined success condition.
Reproduction steps · impact · limitsTurn confirmed findings into workflow changes and regression tests, then rerun the test to see whether the fix holds.

Since December 2025, ARES-generated attacks have produced confirmed breaks on at least 15 of the 25 distinct models Bill tested.
Each test had a defined success condition. A model counted only after the platform or test judge confirmed that condition. ARES generated the counted attacks, and Bill reviewed the results.
Tasks and attempt budgets varied, so this number reports coverage across models.
Process
Bill sets the boundaries and runs the engagement. ARES generates and adapts attacks inside that scope.
Agree on targets, success criteria, data rules, stop conditions, and who can approve changes.
Identify tools, untrusted inputs, permission boundaries, and actions that can change state.
Run approved attacks against fresh test state and within the agreed budget.
Check the actual system action. Persuasive text alone does not count as a break.
Document the finding, recommend a fix, and rerun the test after remediation.
Operating rules
Cordon Security is a security consulting practice of Compass Point Ventures LLC. ARES is an internal tool operated by Bill.
Testing starts after the target, techniques, time window, and stop conditions are agreed in writing.
ARES generates attacks. Bill approves the work, reviews the evidence, and decides what enters the report.
Models and traces can run in infrastructure controlled by Cordon Security, with data handling set before testing begins.
Reports include confirmed findings, failed tests, unresolved questions, and known limits.
