AI Red Teaming in Newport
Adversarial testing of Newport organisations' AI systems — deliberately trying to make them behave badly before a customer or a journalist does. It differs from functional testing in intent: nobody is checking whether it works, they are looking for the input that produces the answer you would have to apologise for.
Why this comes up
The problem
An AI system is about to go live having been tested only by people trying to make it succeed, using the questions it was designed to answer.
What you get
What we deliver
- Scope and authorisation agreed in writing before any testing begins
- Attempts to extract system instructions, internal data or other users' information
- Probing for harmful, defamatory or regulated advice being produced
- Bias testing across groups, since disparate outputs are a legal exposure
- Injection tested where the system reads content from outside the organisation
- Findings reported with reproduction steps and a judgement on severity

AI Red Teaming in Newport — common questions
- Why not just test normally?
- Because functional testing establishes that the system answers intended questions, and the damage comes from unintended ones. Users are creative, some are hostile, and the input that produces an unacceptable response is rarely one the design team would think to try.
- What are you actually looking for?
- Confident wrong answers in consequential areas, disclosure of instructions or data the system should not reveal, content that would embarrass or expose the organisation, and outputs that differ by group in ways that would be difficult to defend.
- Can this be automated?
- Partly. Tools generate large volumes of adversarial input efficiently and cover known techniques well. What they miss is context — whether a particular answer is a problem for your sector, your regulator or your customers — and that requires someone who understands the business.
- Why does authorisation matter?
- Because this work involves deliberately attempting to make systems misbehave, potentially against infrastructure you do not own. Written scope covering what may be tested, against which environments and by whom protects everyone, and testing third-party components needs their agreement too.
- Do you work with businesses across Newport?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Wales, including Newport and the surrounding Newport area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Newport businesses do you usually work with?
- Precision manufacturing quality systems, and cross-border operations for businesses trading into England. Beyond that we work across Semiconductors, Manufacturing, Logistics, Public Sector and Financial Services.
- Do you cover the areas around Newport?
- Yes — we work throughout Wales, including Cardiff, Bristol, Swansea. Newport is an urban area of roughly 160,000+, and we take on work across the wider Newport region rather than the city boundary alone.
