How the AI Security & Safe-Use Drills gate works
How the AI Security Safe-Use Drills grade a team: six drills with the team band set by the weakest, and a regulated-data gate where one UNSAFE answer on regulated data forces RAW — which is how a team acing five drills still reads RAW.
How the gate works
This tool grades a team's AI safe-use reflexes across six drills. Each of 6 signals is scored 0–2 from your own evidence; the verdict is the weakest one — and then it is run past a gate that can only make the verdict worse.
The 6 signals
| Signal | Role |
|---|---|
| Pasting client PII into a public AI tool | top trigger |
| Prompt-leaking a secret or credential | signal |
| Shadow AI — unsanctioned tool on company data | signal |
| Publishing an unverified AI-generated fact | signal |
| Prompt injection from pasted content | signal |
| Over-permissioned AI connector / agent scope | signal |
The verdict bands
A regulated-data drill answered UNSAFE forces the team to RAW no matter how every other drill scores. On regulated data, one unsafe reflex is the whole exposure, regardless of the score.
In the worked sample five of six drills SAFE (weakest 0) and it still reads RAW — Five of six drills come back SAFE — but the team pastes client PII into a public AI tool, a regulated-data UNSAFE. The gate forces RAW: on regulated data, one unsafe reflex is the whole exposure. The one thing to fix first: The PII-paste drill (S1) — re-run it until recognition and action are both solid on regulated data..
Common questions
Can a profile look clean on the How the AI Security Safe-Use Drills gate works and still fail?
Yes. The verdict is the weakest of 6 signals, then run past a worsen-only gate — the Regulated-data — that can only make it worse. In the worked sample five of six drills SAFE (weakest 0) and it still reads RAW, because five of six drills come back SAFE — but the team pastes client PII into a public AI tool, a regulated-data UNSAFE. The gate forces RAW: on regulated data, one unsafe reflex is the whole exposure.
What is a worsen-only gate?
A dispositive rule that can only lower a verdict, never raise it. One fatal flaw overrides an otherwise-clean sheet, because a single disqualifying gap shouldn't hide behind everything that passed. The tool also names the one thing to fix first — here, "The PII-paste drill (S1) — re-run it until recognition and action are both solid on regulated data.".
It scores the drills, not people. Confirm your data-handling rules with your security or compliance owner. Not legal advice.
