SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Current security and compliance frameworks (including NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, and SOC 2) have no controls for RAG-specific attack surfaces such as embedding manipulation, vector store poisoning, retrieval filter bypass, and indirect prompt injection via retrieved documents. These are demonstrated, real-world threats in mid-2026 that leave RAG pipelines completely unaddressed by standard security audits and compliance requirements.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Attack Class Mapping: Maps 5 core RAG attack classes to MITRE ATLAS v2026.06 and MITRE ATT&CK v19.1 TTPs for consistent threat tracking.
  • Compliance Gap Analysis: Explicitly flags which controls in major global frameworks (ISO, NIST, EU AI Act, UK CAF, AU Essential Eight) fail to cover RAG-specific risks, with clear explanations of why existing controls are insufficient.
  • Posture Scoring: Provides a structured 0-80 point scoring methodology to quantify RAG pipeline security maturity across 8 key control areas.
  • Defensive Mapping: Links identified RAG risks to D3FEND v1.3.0+ defensive countermeasures for actionable remediation.
  • Use Case: A security team assessing a customer support RAG system can use this skill to identify vector store poisoning risks, validate that retrieval filters are applied pre-similarity to prevent bypass, and generate auditor-ready documentation of compliance gaps for RAG-specific threats.

Quick Start

Use the rag-pipeline-security skill to assess the security posture of the internal employee knowledge base RAG system, including mapping identified attack classes to relevant MITRE ATLAS TTPs and documenting compliance framework gaps for the audit team.

Frequently Asked Questions about rag-pipeline-security

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
What RAG security threats are not covered by standard compliance frameworks?

Standard frameworks like ISO 27001 and NIST 800-53 lack controls for RAG threats such as vector store poisoning, embedding manipulation, and retrieval filter bypass. This skill identifies these exact compliance gaps.

How do I assess RAG pipeline vulnerabilities like indirect prompt injection?

Assess RAG pipeline vulnerabilities by mapping attack classes like indirect prompt injection to MITRE ATLAS TTPs. This identifies specific threats and correlates them with D3FEND defensive countermeasures for remediation.

Can I use this to map RAG attacks to MITRE ATLAS and ATT&CK frameworks?

Yes, you can map five core RAG attack classes, including chunking exploitation, to MITRE ATLAS v2026.06 and ATT&CK v19.1 TTPs. This ensures consistent threat tracking and structured posture scoring.

How do I score the security posture of a Retrieval-Augmented Generation system?

Score the security posture of a Retrieval-Augmented Generation system using a structured 0-80 point methodology. This quantifies RAG pipeline security maturity across 8 key control areas for auditor-ready reporting.

Does this skill address EU AI Act compliance gaps for vector store poisoning?

Yes, this skill explicitly flags which controls in frameworks like the EU AI Act fail to cover vector store poisoning. It explains why existing controls are insufficient for RAG-specific risks.
