Secure & Compliant RAG — Advanced

Operate secure RAG at scale: adversarial red-teaming and guardrail evaluation, model and supply-chain provenance, privacy-preserving and confidential retrieval, securing agentic multi-tool systems, and a continuous-compliance and incident-response capstone.

  1. 1

    Red-Teaming & Adversarial Evaluation of RAG

    Move from ad-hoc defenses to systematic assurance. Build an adversarial test suite for a RAG system — jailbreak and prompt-injection benchmarks, automated attack generation, and the metrics that score guardrail effectiveness — then wire continuous adversarial evaluation into CI so regressions in safety are caught like any other bug.

    Supply-Chain & Model Provenance

    Trust what you ship and what you ingest. Model and dataset provenance and attestation, signing and verifying model artifacts, an AI bill of materials (AI-SBOM), defending against data and model poisoning, and provenance/attestation for retrieved content — the discipline that makes a RAG pipeline's inputs auditable end to end.

    Privacy-Preserving & Confidential RAG

    Protect data in use, not just at rest and in transit. Differential privacy for training and analytics, confidential computing and trusted execution environments (TEEs), encryption-in-use, per-tenant key management and envelope encryption, and federated/partitioned retrieval patterns for the most sensitive corpora.

    Securing Agentic & Multi-Tool RAG

    Agents that call tools expand the blast radius. Tool and action authorization, least-privilege and sandboxing, taming excessive agency, human-in-the-loop gates for high-risk actions, and defending against prompt injection that arrives through tool outputs and inter-agent messages in multi-agent systems.

    Capstone: Continuous Compliance & Incident Response

    The advanced capstone and the final lesson of the track — operate the controls over time. Compliance automation and continuous control monitoring, audit pipelines and evidence collection, abuse and drift detection, an incident-response runbook for prompt-injection/data-leak events, and a worked mapping of the secure RAG stack to HIPAA and SOC 2 controls.
