Here is the honest situation. Here is the honest situation. Most security teams still treat a large model as a text box that returns words. The moment that model can call a tool, hold a token, browse or trigger a workflow, it becomes an actor inside your trust boundary, and a jailbreak or a prompt injection stops being a content problem and becomes lateral movement at machine speed that nobody notices until the action has already run. An autonomous system is different from a classic application in four ways that all widen the blast radius: it has capability, it has autonomy, it has reach, and it is steerable by any untrusted text it ingests. Doing this well does not mean buying more tooling. It means rebuilding the discipline: model the system by its reachable actions and their reversibility, place it in a deny-by-default segment behind a logging broker, grant the narrowest tool and a scoped short-lived credential, run generated code with no ambient authority, put an authorization gate outside the model on the real parameters of any irreversible action, rate-limit approved actions, log at the level of tool calls, place tripwires, keep a fast tested kill switch, and prove it all with a scoped red-team exercise whose every finding maps to the exact layer that failed. Where teams fall short is predictable: the model treated as a text box, egress left open, capability too broad, the model made its own gatekeeper, monitoring blind to actions, no kill switch that beats the action, and red-team results read as scary transcripts instead of a prioritized list of control gaps.
This Kit removes the guesswork. It is AI containment and red-team exercise design written as adopt-ready controls you personalize in a weekend, with the evidence a security review, a board or an auditor examines.
What you get, the moment you buy
Grounded in layered containment and adversarial-testing practice applied to autonomous AI systems, including network isolation and deny-by-default egress, capability-based sandboxing, action-level authorization and human control, action telemetry with tripwires and a tested kill switch, and red-team exercise design with incident response for autonomous behavior. Editable Word and Excel files. This is a practitioner method, not a substitute for your own security policy, model risk governance and regulatory obligations.
What one control looks like
This is the opening control, where the assessment begins. All 18 are built to this depth.
Why this is not another template pack
- The evidence is the point. A production model you cannot evidence as isolated, capability-bounded, authorization-gated, monitored and stoppable is an incident and a finding waiting to land. This tells you what a reviewer or an auditor examines and where teams fall short, for every control.
- The containment specifics built in. Deny-by-default egress with a logging broker, capability-based sandboxing with no ambient authority, an authorization gate outside the model on real parameters, action-level telemetry with honeytokens, and a fast tested kill switch are written into the controls, not left generic.
- Built on real practice, not one person's opinion, grounded in how security teams actually contain autonomous systems and design red-team exercises that a board and an auditor will accept.
- It compounds. This work shares its shape with application security, identity and access management and enterprise incident response, so it feeds your wider security practice.
Who buys this
CISOs, security architects and AI safety officers responsible for deploying or auditing a frontier or autonomous AI system in production, who own the containment architecture, the red-team commissioning and the incident response and have to prove the system is bounded, monitored and defensible. Whether this is your first pass at containing an autonomous system or a hardening pass on a live one, you save weeks and walk in with your threat framing, isolation, capability, authorization, monitoring and red-team controls structured.
Common questions
Is it really editable? Yes. Word and Excel files you own and adapt. No portal, no subscription.
Does it cover the whole containment problem? Yes. Containment threat framing, network isolation and egress, capability restriction and sandboxing, action authorization and human control, monitoring, tripwires and kill switch, and red-team exercise and incident response each have their own controls with their own evidence.
Is this tied to one model or vendor? No. The controls are principle-level, action-based threat modeling, deny-by-default egress and brokering, capability-based sandboxing, external authorization, action monitoring and kill switch, and red-team and incident response, so they apply to any autonomous system with tools, credentials and reach, alongside your team rather than replacing it.
