Agentic AI security is the discipline of securing AI systems that take actions: agents that hold credentials, call tools, browse, write to databases, and send messages. The risk model is different from a chatbot. An agent with a mail tool can be steered by a poisoned document into exfiltrating data. An over-scoped MCP server can turn a read request into a write. A purchasing agent can be redirected by instructions hidden in the content it retrieves. BD Emerson threat models, tests, and hardens these systems: the agent, its tools, its memory, and the runtime controls around all three.
We inventory agents, tools, MCP servers, credentials, and data paths, then build the threat model that decides where testing effort goes first.
Injection, tool abuse, memory poisoning, and credential theft are attempted against the running system, chained the way a real adversary would combine them.
Findings become concrete changes: tighter tool scopes, isolated credentials, approval gates on destructive actions, and guardrails that hold at runtime rather than in policy documents.
Fixes are retested against the original attack paths, and the final report maps every finding to OWASP LLM Top 10 and NIST AI RMF with proof of impact.
The team that tests your agents also ships agentic systems in production. The attack paths we try are the ones that actually exist, not the ones from a slide.
The same practice that runs our penetration testing and red team work runs these engagements: human-led, proof-driven, and documented so findings survive engineering review.
Everything maps to OWASP LLM Top 10 and NIST AI RMF, so results feed your risk register, your SOC 2 or ISO 42001 program, and your customer security reviews without translation.

We had a hard time finding the right company to partner with in support of our compliance journey. Some vendors sell the idea that they do the work, but then you end up doing everything. The ambiguity is what killed our last project. BD Emerson’s team has such great technical knowledge and understands the standard so well that they made us comfortable with moving fast. This has led to us closing major enterprise customers that were previously out of reach because of security and compliance.
Lead an enterprise initiative to overhaul the organization's technology stack from ecommerce, corporate tech, and corporate security.
Supported ISO 42001 exercise and served as internal auditor.
Rubrik's privacy and compliance team began with the backbone of BD Emerson. BD Emerson supported building out the privacy program, GRC (ISO 27001, SOC 2, CMMC, FedRAMP), and the appsec function.
We needed a partner who could move quickly, without sacrificing precision. BD Emerson brought the expertise, structure, and speed we were looking for. Their team became an extension of ours, embedding themselves across the organization, guiding us step by step, and giving us confidence in areas we hadn’t tackled before. The internal audit they conducted was so detailed that even the external auditors called it out. Achieving ISO 27001 with zero nonconformities says everything you need to know about the quality of the partnership.
