AI Hardening

Adopt AI without creating a new security problem.

AI tools are gaining access to business data, email, documents, SaaS platforms, code, and internal workflows. HarrisFCS helps organizations understand that exposure and put practical controls around AI before convenience turns into uncontrolled risk.

What we harden

AI changes the attack surface.

We look beyond the chatbot itself and assess the data, identities, permissions, integrations, automation, and business processes around it.

AI inventory & shadow AIIdentify approved and unapproved AI tools, browser-based services, copilots, agents, extensions, and integrations being used across the organization.
Data exposureDetermine what sensitive, regulated, proprietary, or client information can be submitted to AI systems and establish practical boundaries around it.
Identity & permissionsReview accounts, OAuth permissions, service accounts, API keys, connectors, and privileges AI systems use to reach business data.
AI agents & automationEvaluate autonomous or semi-autonomous workflows for excessive permissions, unsafe actions, weak approval boundaries, and unintended access.
Configuration & retentionReview available enterprise security settings, data-use settings, retention controls, sharing behavior, and administrative configuration.
Prompt injection & untrusted contentReduce the risk that AI systems act on malicious or untrusted instructions embedded in email, documents, websites, or other content.
Governance & acceptable useEstablish practical rules defining approved AI use, prohibited data, responsible users, approval requirements, and escalation procedures.
Monitoring & reviewReassess tools, permissions, integrations, and risks as AI capabilities and business use change.
A useful distinction

AI security is not an AI ban.

The goal is not to stop employees from using useful technology. It is to understand where AI has access, decide what authority it should have, and put boundaries around the things that could materially harm the business.

A chatbot with no access to company systems presents a very different risk from an agent that can read email, access cloud storage, modify records, execute code, or communicate with customers. The controls should reflect that difference.

The core question

What is the system authorized to do?

Traditional cybersecurity asks whether an attacker can get into a system. AI introduces another question: what is the system already authorized to do?

Authority

The new attack surface is authority.

An AI agent may be functioning exactly as designed while still having too much access, trusting unsafe input, exposing sensitive information, or taking actions without adequate human approval.

AI hardening focuses on constraining that authority before something goes wrong.

Our approach

Discover. Assess. Harden. Verify. Maintain.

AI security should be treated as an operating discipline, not a one-time configuration exercise.

1. DiscoverIdentify AI tools, integrations, data access, and business use.
2. AssessMap exposure, permissions, sensitive data, and high-consequence actions.
3. HardenRestrict access, configure controls, establish boundaries, and document acceptable use.
4. VerifyTest whether the controls actually constrain the risks they were intended to address.
5. MaintainReassess as AI tools, integrations, users, and capabilities change.
