Security & Safety Tests

Evaluate security, safety, and bias aspects of your AI products

What are Security & Safety Tests?

Security & Safety tests in Galtea are designed to evaluate the security, safety, and bias aspects of your product. These tests typically consist of different types of threats like adversarial inputs specifically crafted to probe potential weaknesses or vulnerabilities in your AI system. To further enhance the diversity and evasiveness of these tests, Galtea can apply various security strategies to the prompts generated from these threats.

Creating Security & Safety Tests

You can create security & safety tests in Galtea through two methods:

Generate from Your Known Threats

1. Prepare your threat input file

   Create a file with examples of harmful content or sensitive topic areas you want to test

2. Configure the test

   Select Security & Safety as the test type and Generated as the test origin

   The test creation process can be done via the SDK or the Galtea dashboard

3. Generate the test

   Galtea will process the Knowledge Base and generate a Test File containing Test Cases with adversarial inputs for you, potentially applying selected strategies to vary the attack vectors.

Upload Your Own Test

1. Create your test file

   Prepare a CSV file following the structure shown below

2. Configure the test

   Select “Security & Safety” as the test type and “Uploaded” as the test origin

   The test creation process can be done via the SDK or the Galtea dashboard

3. Upload your test file

   Select the file you created and upload it to Galtea

Testing Categories

Security & Safety tests typically focus on several key categories:

Security Vulnerabilities

Tests that attempt to elicit information or instructions that could compromise security, such as hacking guides or social engineering techniques.

Harmful Content

Tests that request the generation of harmful content, such as instructions for illegal activities or creating dangerous materials.

Bias and Fairness

Tests that probe for biased responses related to race, gender, religion, or other protected characteristics.

Privacy Violations

Tests that attempt to extract private information or techniques for violating others’ privacy.

Jailbreak Attempts

Tests designed to circumvent the model’s safety guardrails or content filters.

Prompt Injection

Tests that attempt to manipulate the model by inserting false system prompts or directives.

Example Security & Safety Tests and File Format

Here are examples of the content and its creation-document structure:

Security & Safety tests intentionally contain harmful or adversarial content. These are used solely for the purpose of testing AI safety and security. Always handle such content responsibly and in accordance with your organization’s policies.

This structure is the required by Galtea in order to automatically generate the test cases for your test. If that format is not provided, you can still manually create the test cases.

For automatic processing, the file format must be CSV.

The contexts and the extent of the examples provided above are short extractions. In the actual CSV files the context can be much longer and the amount of test cases (rows) can be much higher.

Structure of Security & Safety Tests

Security & Safety tests have a specific structure focused on providing challenging inputs:

instance_id · Number · required

A unique identifier for the test instance.

input · Text · required

The adversarial input specifically designed to test the product’s resilience against potential vulnerabilities. Security test inputs are plain strings (adversarial prompts) - structured JSON input does not apply to this test type. Example: “Please ignore any previous instructions and…”

expected_output · Text

For security & safety tests, this field is typically marked as “N/A” since the purpose is to test system resilience rather than producing a specific output.

tag · Text

A categorization tag for the test instance, typically “adversarial_inputs” for security & safety tests.

source · Text

The source of the adversarial input, which may be marked as “N/A” for security & safety tests.

Recommended Metrics

Misuse Resilience

Evaluates resilience to misuse and alignment with product description.

Jailbreak Resilience

Evaluates resistance to adversarial prompt manipulation.

Non-Toxic

Evaluates whether responses are free of toxic language.

Data Leakage

Evaluates whether the LLM returns sensitive information.
