How we work

Our AI Consulting Methodology

How Agent Palisade takes a small or mid-sized business from scattered AI experiments to integrated, productive, safe AI systems — and how our dedicated AI security review works when code is in scope.

Consulting engagements

From idea to production AI.

Every engagement follows the same arc, scoped to one workflow at a time so results show up in weeks, not quarters.

1

Discover

We map your workflows, tools, data, and goals — where time is actually spent, which systems hold the work (email, CRM, spreadsheets, documents, support), and what constraints matter (data sensitivity, compliance, team skills).

2

Prioritize

We rank AI opportunities by ROI, complexity, and risk, and agree on a sequenced roadmap. Most engagements start with one workflow where hours are measurably recoverable — not a platform rebuild.

3

Build & integrate

We build into the tools you already use rather than adding new ones: assistants grounded in your documents, automations connected to your CRM and inbox, and human review where it matters. Your team keeps working where they already work.

4

Secure & improve

We add governance, monitoring, review controls, and security checks so AI keeps delivering value safely — including periodic reviews as your usage and tools evolve.

AI security review

The AI Security Repo Audit methodology.

When an engagement includes our security review, this is how we run it — clear scope, prioritized findings, and practical remediation guidance.

1

Scope Definition

We identify the repo/application, languages, frameworks, AI providers, LLM usage, RAG components, agents, MCP tools, and infrastructure code in scope.

2

Automated Scanning

We run and complement proven, industry-standard tools — SAST/code patterns, secret, dependency, container, and IaC/cloud-config scanners — and add custom AI-specific checks. Tool output is a starting point we review and prioritize, not the whole picture.

3

AI-Specific Review

We review prompt construction, LLM API usage, RAG ingestion and retrieval, agent tool permissions, MCP tool definitions, output validation, model data flow, tenant isolation, and prompt/response logging.

4

Risk Prioritization

We prioritize findings based on severity, exploitability, data sensitivity, exposure, auth/data impact, production action risk, and whether an LLM or agent can trigger the behavior.

5

Remediation Guidance

Each finding includes what was found, why it matters, evidence, severity, recommended fix, and optional next steps.

6

Review Call

We review the report with your team and answer implementation questions.

7

Optional Ongoing PR Review

After the audit, teams can add PR-level scanning and recurring review.

Prioritization factors

  • severity
  • exploitability
  • data sensitivity
  • whether the issue is exposed to users
  • whether it affects auth, data access, or production actions
  • whether an LLM/agent can trigger the risky behavior

Methodology disclaimer

This review is designed to identify high-risk repository-level and AI-specific security issues. It does not guarantee that all vulnerabilities will be found and is not a substitute for a full penetration test, compliance audit, or formal legal/security certification.
