Standardized security audits are often based on known patterns and static checklists. However, these methods rarely capture the systemic, often invisible weaknesses of complex AI systems – especially where filter logic, training data, interaction structures, and semantic distortions converge.
The Ghost Audit is an in-depth, technical investigation aimed at making precisely these hidden risk levels visible. It analyzes not only architecture and interfaces but also potential emergent effects, unexpected filter resonances, and semantic misclassifications.
The analysis begins on a documented, passive level. Upon request – and contractually agreed – targeted tests are additionally conducted at the API, behavioral, and interaction logic levels. The goal is to identify security vulnerabilities not covered by classic audits.
All investigations are conducted under strict confidentiality. Disclosure of specific findings to third parties is excluded. NDAs are a matter of course.
Emergent Risks and Filter Illusions: Detection of situations where seemingly secure filter structures mask dangerous system reactions.
System Analysis Instead of Symptom Checking: Evaluation of architectural decisions, training data access, filter logic, and regulatory interventions in the context of real-world system use.
Application of Experimental Methods: Use of unconventional testing approaches to identify semantically camouflaged attack paths or misclassified content.
Technical Security Analysis: Testing for possible injections (e.g., SQL, XSS, header tampering), misuse of insecure APIs, faulty session logic, or poorly isolated components – even outside of pure AI applications.
Critical, Direct Reporting: Instead of abstract risk levels, you receive concrete statements related to real functional risks – comprehensible, reproducible, and without placating formulations.
Concrete Proposals for Increasing Resilience: Upon request, development of alternative, security-centric architectural approaches – tailored to your system logic, not to norm conformity.
The methodology is based on the research published in "Ghosts in the Machine," supplemented by many years of practical experience in the low-level and system areas (including C++, Assembler, QBasic, analysis tools). The analyses conducted are entirely manual and are not delegated to automated processes.
The Ghost Audit is aimed at development teams, architects, and security officers who want to go beyond mere compliance. It does not offer a standardized assessment but rather an individual system reflection at the level of code, behavior, and structure.

The goal is not to replace classic security procedures, but to supplement them where they become blind.
