The Trust Audit forAI-Built Applications.
The Grid Audit Framework shows how the GRID VINE MIND SWARM and human reviewers assess real application risk across eight security pillars — covering AI, agentic, Web2, and Web3 surfaces — without publishing the full internal attack playbook behind every engagement.
Security Assessment Pillars
Our methodology blends OWASP, XRPL protocol standards, NIST guidance, CIS hardening, and modern AI security practice to cover the real attack surfaces of Web3, XRPL, and AI-enabled products.
Frontend Security
Client-side behavior, browser trust boundaries, and user-facing attack surface review.
API Security
API and service-layer review focused on authorization, input handling, and exposed integration risk.
Infrastructure
Server, hosting, and environment hardening review across exposed infrastructure layers.
Data Protection
Secrets, artifacts, and sensitive data handling review across the live application surface.
Network & Auth
Authentication boundaries, gateway behavior, and network-layer control validation.
XRPL Protocol
XRPL-specific review of wallet flows, token behavior, transaction safety, and ecosystem-specific trust assumptions.
AI & Agentic Security
AI, agentic, and rapid-development risk review across prompts, tools, autonomy, and generated output.
Transaction Logic
Business-logic and transaction-flow review for critical actions, state changes, and signing assumptions.
Certification Levels
Grid treats certification as a remediation path. We work directly with project teams to fix material vulnerabilities, validate changes, and move toward a public status that can be independently verified.
Grid Conditional
Review complete with remediation and validation work still in progress.
Grid Verified
Material findings resolved and verified through the Grid review process.
Grid Elite
Exceptional security maturity, operating discipline, and retest performance.
Methodology
What We Review
- • Public and authenticated application surface behavior
- • Multi-host portfolio coverage in a single engagement
- • API, integration, and workflow trust boundaries
- • Identity, OAuth/OIDC, and account-lifecycle flows
- • XRPL wallet, signing, and transaction flows
- • AI, agentic, and rapid-development risk areas
- • Infrastructure, hardening, and exposure hygiene
- • CDN, cache, and HTTP-layer hardening
- • Subdomain enumeration and dangling-DNS exposure
- • Secrets, artifacts, and sensitive data handling
- • Supply-chain and third-party dependency exposure
- • Authentication, authorization, and session controls
- • Remediation readiness and retest validation paths
What We Don't Check
- • Destructive or intrusive testing
- • Social engineering attacks
- • Physical security assessments
- • Internal network penetration
- • Brute force attacks
- • Denial of service testing
- • Authenticated review without explicit approval
- • Third-party financial advice
Important Disclaimer
Grid audit reports are assessments based on the state of the application at the time of review. Security is an ongoing process, and this audit does not guarantee future security.
Grid does not provide financial advice, investment recommendations, or guarantee the absence of all vulnerabilities. This audit focuses on technical security implementation only.
Projects should continue to follow security best practices, monitor for new vulnerabilities, and consider regular re-audits as their applications evolve.
Phase 2 of the Grid platform is designed to let verified projects authorize trusted project agents to interact with the GRID VINE MIND SWARM and initiate on-demand scans as meaningful changes are introduced.
