AI Trust Index Assessment Services

Make “trust” measurable

A Practical Benchmark for Fairness, Security, and Reliability

“Trustworthy AI” is hard to prove without shared criteria. Forgepath’s Trust Index turns broad principles into measurable signals: fairness and harm screening, safety policy effectiveness, privacy and data handling, robustness against adversarial manipulation, transparency and provenance, and operational governance. We examine how your system is designed, what it does under pressure, and what evidence exists to support claims.

The outcome is straightforward: a scored heatmap with strengths, gaps, and prioritized actions—mapped to your obligations and risk tolerance. You’ll see which controls matter most, where evidence is missing, and how to raise scores quarter over quarter.

From principles to evidence

Strengthen Your AI Security

We evaluate design, data, behavior, and operations against a clear rubric. Each dimension includes what we tested, what we found, and what to change—so teams can act with confidence.

Talk to An Expert

Align the benchmark with business goals.

What we do: confirm use cases, users, data sensitivity, harms of concern, and regulatory/contractual expectations.
How we do it: select dimensions and weights (fairness, safety, privacy, robustness, transparency, governance) and define pass/fail and scoring thresholds.
Output: an assessment plan with required artefacts and success criteria.

Trust starts with inputs.

What we do: review data sources, licensing/provenance, minimization/redaction, retention, and secrets isolation.
How we do it: trace data through ingestion → retrieval/finetuning → output; check metadata quality and allowed-source policies.
Output: findings on lawful/appropriate use, provenance confidence, and data blast radius reduction.

Reduce unwanted bias and harm.

What we do: identify sensitive attributes or proxies; craft scenarios for differential error rates and harmful outputs.
How we do it: run comparative prompts/inputs, analyze disparities, and evaluate mitigation policies and escalation paths.
Output: fairness findings with suggested mitigations and monitoring signals.

See how the system behaves when steered.

What we do: attempt prompt injections/jailbreaks, RAG context poisoning, tool/agent abuse, and evasions of safety policies.
How we do it: safe, instrumented tests with full transcripts and conditions; verify gating/filters and fallbacks.
Output: robustness findings and guardrails to reduce manipulation and leakage.

Protect people and IP.

What we do: review PII handling, data subject rights, output redaction, and secrets exposure in prompts/configs.
How we do it: targeted leakage attempts, configuration review, and evidence checks for privacy processes.
Output: privacy posture findings with control recommendations and audit-ready artefacts.

Make behavior explainable and traceable.

What we do: examine model cards/docs, usage disclosures, content provenance cues (e.g., C2PA), and human-in-the-loop visibility.
How we do it: compare claims to evidence, assess user-facing guidance, and test provenance signals where applicable.
Output: improvements to documentation, disclosures, and provenance posture.

Turn results into action.

What we do: calculate dimension scores and overall Trust Index; map gaps to effort/impact and ownership.
How we do it: create a sequenced roadmap with acceptance criteria and target scores by quarter.
Output: a heatmap, score explanation, and prioritized actions leaders can track.

Forgepath separates themselves from the rest as they’re a true security partner to Parsysco. They took the time to understand our requirements and how things were working with our previous provider.

We were impressed by how quickly they formulated a new strategy and approach. They helped us identify our challenges and consistently brought forward solutions that were in Parsysco’s best interest.

Most vendors only care about selling something, Forgepath took the personal relationship and partnership approach that we value greatly.
