AI Security Audit and Compliance Workflow Documentation
This automated workflow performs comprehensive AI security audits, combining multiple evaluation dimensions including OWASP compliance, injection detection, bias assessment, and CVE monitoring.
Workflow Nodes
| Node | Action | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Trigger | Initiates the workflow run. |
| 2 | Process Security Resources | Scans sample inputs with regex for SQL injection, command injection, code execution, jailbreaks, and prompt injection. |
| 3 | AI Bias Evaluator | Evaluates each resource in parallel using an AI agent for bias, harmful intent, and safety risks, returning structured JSON. |
| 4 | Generate Security Report | Aggregates all evaluations into one consolidated report with metrics. |
| 5 | Format Report Email | Uses an AI agent to write a professional email with an executive summary, per-resource findings, and recommended actions. |
| 6 | Send Security Report | Sends the finalized report via Gmail with a dated subject line. |
Real-World Data Sources
In a production environment, you can replace the initial code node with real connectors pulling from various sources:
- SIEM and Log aggregators (Splunk, Elastic SIEM, Microsoft Sentinel) for recent suspicious events.
- WAF logs (Cloudflare, AWS WAF) for flagged requests hitting your APIs.
- API Gateway logs for raw user payloads.
- Database audit logs for recent SQL queries.
- Email security gateways for flagged messages.
- Code repository webhooks (GitHub, GitLab) for secret scanning.
- Customer support tickets (Zendesk) for potentially malicious user-submitted content.
- Meeting transcripts for accidental sensitive data disclosure.
- Endpoint Detection and Response alerts (CrowdStrike, SentinelOne).
- Cloud security alerts (AWS GuardDuty, Azure Defender).
Evaluation Dimensions
- OWASP ASI05 Compliance: Verifies server protection, confirms runtime isolation, validates tool restrictions, ensures credential best practices, and protects against memory manipulation.
- Prompt Injection Detection: Identifies direct injections (instruction overrides, jailbreaks), indirect injections (XSS, template injection), encoding evasion (URL or hex encoding), and contextual manipulation.
- Bias Evaluation: Scans for demographic, occupational, cultural, and socioeconomic bias.
- CVE Monitoring: Tracks AI-specific vulnerabilities, scores severity, identifies affected systems, and classifies attack vectors.
Risk Assessment Methodology
| Risk Level | Criteria | Response |
|---|---|---|
| CRITICAL | OWASP score < 50 OR Critical injection OR Bias > 80% | Immediate remediation required |
| HIGH | OWASP score 50 to 69 OR High injection OR Bias 60 to 79% | Priority attention needed |
| MEDIUM | OWASP score 70 to 89 OR Medium injection OR Bias 40 to 59% | Monitor and plan remediation |
| LOW | OWASP score >= 90 OR Low injection OR Bias < 40% | Continue monitoring |
Security Features
- Zero-Trust Evaluation: Validates and scores all inputs independently.
- Automated Compliance: Continually validates against OWASP standards.
- Multi-Vector Analysis: Combines injection, bias, and CVE detection.
- Historical Trending: Enables trend analysis through historical metrics.
- Automated Remediation: Creates follow-up tasks via issue tracking integrations.
- Report Retention: Cleans up automatically after the retention period.
