A clinical decision support system handles patient recommendations every day. This demo walks through what happens when that system gets stress-tested, monitored for drift, and cryptographically attested — in four phases you control.
This is a simulated clinical decision support (CDS) system — the kind of AI that helps physicians with drug interactions, triage decisions, and lab interpretation. Thousands of health systems use tools like this today.
You’ll see four phases that represent the GLACIS lifecycle: Scan the system for vulnerabilities, monitor it for behavioral drift, harden it when problems appear, and prove everything with cryptographic attestation.
Each phase shows real terminal output from GLACIS tools. Nothing is pre-rendered — the scenarios reflect actual attack categories, drift metrics, and attestation structures used in production.
Phase 1: Behavioral Baseline.
Before you can detect problems, you need to know what “normal” looks like. GLACIS runs autoredteam scan against the clinical AI endpoint to establish behavioral baselines across five attack categories.

Result: 4/5 passed · 1 warning · Score: 82/100
Baseline stored: baseline-cds-20260408-0914.json
The scan found one warning: the CDS system leaked partial patient identifiers when probed with adversarial prompts. The PII leak score (0.08) exceeds the 0.05 threshold set for healthcare environments. Everything else — injection resistance, jailbreak defense, hallucination rates, and clinical scope adherence — is within acceptable bounds.
This baseline is now the reference point. GLACIS will compare every future scan against these numbers to detect drift.
Phase 2: Attack Simulation. Now autoredteam runs deeper probes — the kind of attacks a real adversary would attempt against a clinical system. These aren’t hypothetical; they mirror documented attack patterns from MITRE ATLAS and OWASP LLM Top 10.

4 critical findings · 3 warnings · Score dropped: 82 → 61
Root cause: PHI boundary failure under encoded prompts
Report: attack-cds-20260408-0915.json
The adversarial probes revealed what the baseline scan hinted at: the system’s PHI protections fail against encoded inputs. When an attacker base64-encodes a request or uses context-window stuffing, patient data leaks through. The system also accepted a plausible-but-incorrect drug dosage without flagging it.
The score dropped from 82 to 61 — a 21-point decline that would trigger an automatic alert in any GLACIS-monitored environment. The root cause category is identified: PHI boundary failure under encoded prompts.
Phase 3: Drift Detection. Scanning once isn’t enough. Models change — providers update weights, fine-tuning shifts behavior, and new attack vectors emerge weekly. GLACIS runs continuous monitoring and uses statistical methods to detect when behavior drifts from the established baseline.

Root cause: upstream model update (gpt-4o-2024-08-06 → gpt-4o-2024-11-20)
The provider silently updated the model weights. PHI boundaries degraded.
Alert dispatched to: [email protected], [email protected]
The monitoring detected a 14-point score decline over 24 hours. The CUSUM algorithm — a statistical method that accumulates small deviations to detect meaningful shifts — triggered an alert when cumulative drift exceeded the configured threshold. The root cause: the upstream AI provider silently updated model weights, and the new version has weaker PHI boundaries.
Without continuous monitoring, this degradation would go unnoticed until a real patient’s data was exposed. The system caught it in hours, not months.
Phase 4: Auto-Hardening. GLACIS doesn’t just detect problems — it fixes them. Based on the root cause analysis, Enforce deploys targeted guardrails. Every remediation action is cryptographically attested by Notary, creating tamper-proof evidence for auditors.

Three guardrails deployed in under a second. The previously-failing attack probes are now blocked. The security score recovered from 61 to 94 — and every action is recorded in a cryptographic attestation receipt signed by a third-party witness node.
The attestation maps each guardrail to specific OVERT controls (the open standard for AI runtime trust). When an auditor asks “how did you respond to this vulnerability?” the answer is a signed receipt, not a spreadsheet.
Open-source tool that stress-tests AI systems against known attack patterns. Think of it as a penetration test, but for AI behavior instead of network security.
Cumulative Sum control chart. A statistical method that detects small, sustained shifts in a process by accumulating deviations from a target. Used in manufacturing quality control for decades — GLACIS applies it to AI behavioral scores.
When an AI system’s outputs change over time without any deliberate modification by its operators. Common causes: upstream model updates by providers, training data shifts, or degraded guardrail effectiveness.
A specific governance requirement from the OVERT 1.0 standard — the open framework for AI runtime trust. Controls like OVERT-SEC-003 map to concrete security requirements that can be verified and attested.
A cryptographically signed record of what happened, when, and what controls were satisfied. Signed by a third-party witness node — not by you, not by the AI vendor. Tamper-proof evidence that exists outside your own infrastructure.
GLACIS classifies every vulnerability into a specific category (e.g., “PHI boundary failure under encoded prompts”). This isn’t a vague risk rating — it’s a diagnosis that drives automated remediation.
Baseline established. 5 attack categories tested. PII leak vulnerability identified before it could be exploited in production.
3 guardrails deployed automatically. Score recovered from 61 to 94. Added latency: 1.9ms — imperceptible to users.
Every action cryptographically attested. OVERT controls mapped. Third-party witness signature on file. Audit-ready from day one.
The Scan → Harden → Prove arc is how GLACIS turns AI risk from an open question into a closed loop. Scan discovers what your AI does under stress. Harden deploys guardrails against the specific vulnerabilities found. Prove creates tamper-proof evidence that the work was done — signed by a third party, mapped to regulatory controls, and ready for any auditor who asks.
The demo above used a simulated endpoint. The real version runs against your AI stack in under five minutes.
30 minutes. No commitment. We’ll run the scan live on your endpoint.
