  • Last reviewed

Best for

Security teams that want a hosted red teaming platform with a CLI and Burp Suite extension to test chatbots and LLM endpoints they own

Consider instead if

  • You want a free open-source scanner you can run without a vendor account. See garak.

What Mindgard does

Mindgard is a commercial AI security platform whose core product is automated red teaming of AI models and agents. Tests start from a command-line client or a Burp Suite extension, which connect to Mindgard's hosted API. The hosted service orchestrates the attacks and stores results, and the docs also describe a web interface. The docs list jailbreak and prompt injection attacks, multi-turn techniques such as crescendo and actor_attack, reconnaissance commands including system prompt extraction, built-in safety datasets for toxicity and misinformation, and a MITRE ATLAS view of risks. Pricing is not published: the home page offers a demo request instead of a price list.

Mindgard FAQ

Is Mindgard open source?

The hosted platform is proprietary. The mindgard command-line client is published on PyPI under the MIT license, but it works with a Mindgard SaaS deployment.

How much does Mindgard cost?

The home page does not state plans or prices. Its calls to action are Book a Demo and Let's Talk.

How do you run tests with Mindgard?

Install the CLI with pip install mindgard, log in, create a project, then run recon, single-turn or multi-turn tests against a target URL. The system architecture docs also show Burp Suite as a way to start tests.
