Guardrails are only as strong as the attacks they've survived. Our LLM jailbreak and guardrail testing systematically evaluates your model's safety controls, content filters and policy boundaries against current and novel bypass techniques.
We map exactly where your guardrails hold and where they fail, giving you reproducible cases to harden against and a clear view of residual risk.
Our LLM jailbreak and guardrail testing systematically probes your model's safety controls with current and novel techniques: single-shot and multi-turn jailbreaks, role-play and persona attacks, encoding and obfuscation, and adversarial suffixes. We assess vendor guardrails, custom moderation classifiers and system-prompt defenses as one combined safety layer, and quantify residual risk so your legal, brand and compliance teams have real evidence — not assumptions — about where your model can be pushed past policy.
Why it matters
Guardrails and content filters are the controls your legal, brand and compliance teams rely on — but they are only as strong as the attacks they have actually survived. New jailbreak techniques appear constantly, and a single reproducible bypass can create regulatory, reputational and safety exposure.
Systematic jailbreak testing gives you evidence of exactly where your safety layer holds and where it fails, so you can harden it and quantify residual risk before users or regulators do it for you.

Our LLM Jailbreak & Guardrail Testing methodology
- Scoping & rules of engagement. We agree objectives, targets and boundaries for your llm jailbreak & guardrail testing, so testing is safe, authorized and focused on what matters to your business.
- Reconnaissance & mapping. We enumerate the full attack surface in scope, building a complete picture before any exploitation begins.
- Manual exploitation. Our senior testers chain vulnerabilities by hand — going far beyond automated scanners — to prove real, demonstrable impact.
- Analysis & reporting. Every finding is triaged, risk-rated with CVSS and written up with a copy-paste reproduction and clear remediation.
- Remediation support & free retest. We support your team through the fixes and retest the remediated issues to confirm they are genuinely closed.
Tools & techniques
We evaluate guardrails with a structured battery of jailbreak techniques: single-shot and multi-turn attacks, persona and role-play framing, encoding and obfuscation, translation and cipher tricks, and adversarial suffixes. Each technique is applied against your vendor guardrails, custom classifiers and system-prompt defenses, and every successful bypass is recorded as a reproducible case so your team can add it to a regression test suite and verify future fixes.

What’s included in your report
Every llm jailbreak & guardrail testing engagement concludes with a comprehensive, board-ready report and a working session to walk your team through it. Your report includes:
- An executive summary with overall risk posture for non-technical stakeholders
- Detailed technical findings, each with a step-by-step, copy-paste reproduction
- CVSS v3.1 severity ratings and business-impact context for every issue
- Prioritized, actionable remediation guidance your engineers can apply directly
- A complimentary retest to confirm fixes and update finding status
- A formal attestation letter for customers, auditors and compliance programs

Outcomes you can expect
After your llm jailbreak & guardrail testing, you will have clear, evidence-based visibility into your real security risk — not a scanner’s guesswork. You will know exactly which weaknesses an attacker could exploit, what the business impact would be, and the precise steps to fix them in priority order. Teams use our findings to close critical gaps, satisfy customer and regulator security requirements, and demonstrate due diligence to their board. With a complimentary retest included, you also get documented proof that the issues are genuinely resolved.
Engagement details & logistics
Every llm jailbreak & guardrail testing starts with a short, no-obligation scoping call to understand your goals, environment and constraints, followed by a fixed-price proposal and a clear statement of work. Most engagements are delivered fully remotely, with on-site work arranged where it genuinely adds value. Throughout testing we maintain an agreed communication cadence and escalate any critical, high-impact finding to you immediately rather than waiting for the final report. All work is performed under a signed NDA with strict data-handling controls, using safe, non-disruptive techniques and carefully coordinated rules of engagement to protect your production systems. On completion you receive your report and a walkthrough session, followed by a complimentary retest once your fixes are in place. Typical engagements are booked one to three weeks in advance, and urgent or pre-deadline testing can often be accommodated — just ask at hi@agentoffense.com.

Frequently asked questions
Is this the same as prompt injection testing?
Related but distinct. Jailbreak testing targets safety and policy guardrails; prompt injection targets control of the system and its tools. Many engagements cover both.
Do you test custom safety layers?
Yes — we assess vendor guardrails, custom classifiers and your own system-prompt defenses together.
Why does guardrail testing matter for my business?
Bypassed guardrails can produce reputational, legal and compliance harm. Testing gives you evidence of where controls fail before users or regulators find out.
Do you test third-party model guardrails or ours?
Both. We assess vendor guardrails (OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI, Bedrock), your custom classifiers and your system-prompt defenses as one combined safety layer.
How do you keep techniques current?
We maintain a living corpus of jailbreak and bypass techniques drawn from live engagements and public research, so testing reflects the current threat landscape.
Can jailbreaks really cause business harm?
Yes — a bypassed guardrail can produce harmful, defamatory or non-compliant output attributed to your brand, creating reputational, legal and regulatory exposure.
Do you provide a residual-risk rating?
Yes. We summarize exactly which controls held, which failed and the residual risk, so you can make informed release decisions.
Do you deliver reusable regression tests?
Yes. Each confirmed bypass is documented as a reproducible case you can fold into your own safety-regression suite to catch regressions over time.
How long does guardrail testing take?
Typically one to two weeks depending on the number of models, guardrail layers and policies in scope.
