LLM Application Penetration Testing

An LLM application is more than a model — it's prompts, plugins, APIs, data stores and the code wiring them together. We assess the whole system against the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications plus classic web and API flaws, for Cyprus businesses.

We test where AI-specific and traditional vulnerabilities meet, which is where real incidents happen.

Beyond the checklist, llm application penetration testing is about understanding how a real attacker would abuse prompt injection & output handling and insecure plugin & tool integration in your specific environment. We map your real environment, not a generic template, then test every path where trust is granted and every place where controls could be bypassed.

The result is clarity: a prioritised, exploitable-risk view of your llm application attack surface that your team can act on immediately, backed by proof rather than a scanner's guesswork.

Why it matters

The businesses that rely on us understand that untested systems are unquantified risk. A weakness that reaches customer or financial data can trigger a GDPR, the EU AI Act and NIS2 obligation, damage hard-won client trust, and stall deals while security questionnaires go unanswered. Our llm application penetration testing exists to remove that uncertainty before an attacker — or an auditor — finds the gap first.

By proving exactly what is exploitable and what it would cost, we turn a vague worry into a concrete, fundable remediation plan. Cyprus firms use our reports to close real gaps, satisfy CySEC, GDPR and NIS2 expectations, and demonstrate genuine due diligence to clients, partners and insurers — with a free retest to prove the fixes hold.

What we test

  • Prompt injection & output handling
  • Insecure plugin & tool integration
  • Sensitive information disclosure
  • Excessive agency & over-permissioning
  • Traditional web/API flaws in the stack
  • Model denial-of-service & cost abuse

Common vulnerabilities we uncover

  • Prompt injection and insecure output handling
  • Insecure plugin and tool integration
  • Sensitive information disclosure
  • Excessive agency and over-permissioning
  • Model denial-of-service and cost abuse
  • Classic web/API flaws in the surrounding stack

How we run your engagement

  1. Kick-off & scoping. A short call to agree goals, in-scope assets and rules of engagement, so your llm application penetration testing is safe, authorised and aimed at your real business risk.
  2. Mapping & discovery. Before touching anything we map the full attack surface in scope, so nothing exploitable slips through.
  3. Hands-on testing. Cyprus-based specialists exploit and chain weaknesses manually — the flaws scanners walk straight past — to show genuine impact.
  4. Reporting. Each issue is verified, CVSS-rated and documented with a step-by-step reproduction and a practical fix your team can apply.
  5. Free retest. Once you have remediated, we re-test at no extra cost to confirm the attack path is truly closed.

Tools & techniques

In practice, your llm application penetration testing focuses on prompt injection & output handling, insecure plugin & tool integration and sensitive information disclosure and the ways they can be chained together.

We test AI systems against the OWASP LLM Top 10 and current agentic-attack research. Adversarial prompt-generation tooling widens coverage, but the decisive work is manual: crafting injection and jailbreak payloads, chaining an LLM's tool and data access into real actions, and probing the boundary between trusted instructions and untrusted content. We treat the model, its prompts, its retrieval sources and its tools as one attack surface.

Every confirmed issue is reproduced with the exact prompt or input sequence, and rated by the concrete action an attacker could force — data exfiltration, unauthorised tool use or privilege escalation — not by abstract model behaviour.

When you need this engagement

  • You are deploying, changing or relying on systems where prompt injection & output handling would be business-critical
  • Your AI can browse, run code, or call internal APIs and tools
  • You use retrieval-augmented generation over sensitive or proprietary documents
  • You need to satisfy GDPR or EU AI Act expectations for a deployed AI system
  • You want assurance before exposing an AI assistant to untrusted user input

What you receive

  • Full-stack LLM app findings
  • OWASP LLM Top 10 coverage
  • Reproducible PoCs & remediation
  • Free retest after remediation

Your deliverables

When your llm application penetration testing wraps up, you receive a clear, audit-ready report plus a walkthrough call with your team. Inside you will find:

  • A concise executive summary that management and the board can act on
  • Every technical finding with a reproducible, copy-paste proof of concept
  • CVSS v3.1 ratings and plain-language business impact for each issue
  • Practical, prioritised remediation your developers can implement straight away
  • A free retest and updated finding status once fixes are in place
  • A signed attestation letter for clients, auditors, GDPR, NIS2 and ISO 27001

What you gain

By the end of your llm application penetration testing, you will know exactly which weaknesses a real attacker could exploit, what it would cost your business, and the precise order in which to fix them — backed by evidence, not a scanner’s guesswork. Cyprus firms use our findings to close critical gaps, satisfy client and regulator security questionnaires, and demonstrate due diligence for GDPR and NIS2. With a free retest included, you also get documented proof the issues are resolved.

Working with us

Every llm application penetration testing begins with a short, no-obligation scoping call to understand your goals, environment and constraints, followed by a fixed-price proposal. Most work is delivered remotely, and because we are based in Cyprus we work in your timezone with on-site visits across Limassol, Nicosia and island-wide where it helps. We keep you updated throughout and flag any critical finding immediately rather than waiting for the report. Everything is covered by a signed NDA and safe, non-disruptive testing that protects your production systems. You receive your report, a walkthrough and a complimentary retest once fixes land. Engagements are typically booked one to three weeks ahead, and urgent testing can often be arranged — just email hi@cypruspentest.com.

Your llm application penetration testing is run by senior offensive-security specialists who test the way genuine attackers do — manually, creatively and focused on proving real impact. What sets us apart:

  • Based in Cyprus — local, in your timezone, with on-site coverage across Limassol and Nicosia.
  • Manual, exploit-led testing that chains vulnerabilities the way an attacker would, well beyond automated scanners.
  • Reproducible proof for every finding, with copy-paste steps your team can independently verify.
  • Compliance-ready reporting that supports GDPR, NIS2, ISO 27001 and CySEC expectations.
  • A free retest so you have documented evidence your fixes actually hold.
  • Fixed-price and responsive, with a named point of contact from scoping through to retest.

Frequently asked questions

Does this replace a web pentest?
It includes web and API testing of the stack; large apps may warrant a dedicated web pentest too.
Do you test chatbots and copilots?
Yes — customer chatbots, internal copilots and embedded assistants.
Is traditional web security still relevant?
Very — many high-impact findings are classic web/API flaws around the model.
