Today, we're excited to announce the launch of our AI Risk Assessment Tool: a free, comprehensive tool designed to help organizations evaluate the security posture of AI applications and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers.
What is the AI Risk Assessment Tool?
The AI Risk Assessment Tool is a powerful, web-based solution that allows security teams and AI practitioners to scan and evaluate security risks associated with AI sites and MCP servers. Available to everyone on our public website, this tool delivers instant value by providing clear risk assessments on popular AI sites and over 15,000 MCP servers on GitHub.
With this visibility, security and AI teams can make more informed decisions aligned with their organization's risk appetite and cybersecurity policies.
The tool serves two primary functions:
- AI Sites Risk Assessment: Evaluates web-based AI applications like ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSeek, and others based on their privacy policies, data handling practices, and security measures.
- MCP Server Scanning: Analyzes MCP servers on GitHub to identify potential security vulnerabilities, code quality issues, and compliance gaps.
How the AI Risk Assessment Works
Our tool employs a comprehensive evaluation methodology to deliver accurate risk assessments:
For AI Sites:
Users simply enter the URL of any AI site they want to evaluate, click submit, and receive a detailed risk assessment based on critical parameters, including:
- Data retention policies
- Data usage for training or sharing with third parties
- Encryption practices
- Data breach notification procedures
- Opt-out mechanisms
- Data deletion capabilities
- Transparency about AI model usage
- Privacy policy comprehensiveness
- Compliance framework adherence
- Liability disclaimers
- And more!
Each AI application receives a risk score and is categorized into risk tiers (low, medium, high) to help you quickly understand its security posture.
For MCP Servers:
Users simply paste the link to any GitHub repository containing an MCP server, and the tool conducts a thorough analysis evaluating:
- Code quality score: Assesses the quality and maintainability of the codebase
- Vulnerability exposure score: Evaluates potential exposure to known vulnerabilities
- Maintenance score: Examines how well the server is maintained and updated
- Governance compliance score: Assesses compliance with security best practices
With those, the tool generated an overall security score, which is a weighted average.
Why MCP Security Matters
For those unfamiliar, Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a powerful protocol that enables AI models to interact with various tools and systems. With MCP, models can perform actions like running shell commands, editing files, querying APIs, connecting to databases, and sending communications – all without direct human oversight.
While this capability unlocks unprecedented productivity, it also introduces significant security risks. A compromised model could potentially execute harmful actions with far-reaching consequences. Our Risk Assessment Tool helps you identify what potential risks are associated with the MCP servers you and your organization might be considering..
We've summarized the key risks of MCP in our recent blog post: Top 10 MCP Security Risks.
Enterprise-Grade Technology, Available to Everyone
While this tool is freely available on our website for everyone to use, the same capabilities are already embedded in our enterprise product. For organizations that deploy our solution, AI sites and applications are automatically inspected for risk, with policies enforced based on the organization's unique risk appetite. The same applies to MCP server risk assessment, which is part of our comprehensive Agentic AI Security solution.
