RAG Security Evaluation Pack

Overview

A reviewer-focused evaluation pack for RAG security posture, designed to document controls and expose weak points before production rollout.

Approach

• Mapped RAG attack surfaces from ingestion to final response
• Defined control matrix across prompt, retrieval, tool, and output boundaries
• Linked each control area to test/evidence artifacts
• Published a scan-friendly evidence format for reviewers

Tools & Technologies

Measurable Outcomes

• Control coverage could be reviewed from a single evidence page
• Threat scenarios and controls were connected in one model
• Validation expectations were visible before launch decisions
• Evidence links reduced ambiguity during technical review

Problem

RAG teams often have fragmented security notes, making it hard to verify what controls exist and whether they were tested.

Implementation

The evaluation pack combined threat model mapping, control definitions, and artifact references into a structured review bundle.

Controls

• Prompt boundary policy checks
• Retrieval integrity and trust checks
• Output policy and leakage screening
• Tool authorization constraints
• Audit-oriented logging requirements

Test / Evidence Artifacts

• RAG Security Evidence Pack page
• Control matrix rows mapped to risk areas
• Architecture flow with trust-boundary markers
• Checklist and guidance files in resources

Limitations

• Evaluation pack is a framework and requires implementation-specific instrumentation
• Evidence quality depends on freshness of linked artifacts
• Threat coverage must evolve with model and tool changes

Why it matters

A unified evaluation pack helps reviewers assess security posture quickly without relying on implicit claims.
