User Manual

Step-by-step guidance for using the Prompt Injection Protection platform, from exploring vulnerabilities to running security tests.

This manual explains how to use the Prompt Injection Protection platform to learn about vulnerabilities, test mitigations, and document security outcomes.

1) Getting Started

Home page for the Prompt Injection Protection platform
  • Open the platform home page and review the overview of prompt injection risks.
  • Use the top navigation bar to move between Home, Vulnerability Detail, Mitigations, Testing, and Prompt Enhancer.
  • Click the chat icon in the bottom right corner of any page to access the Security Assistant Chatbot.
  • Use dark mode toggle if preferred for readability during long sessions.

No login; bring your own API keys. (See the deployment guide for provider setup.)

2) Understand a Vulnerability

Choosing a vulnerability from the Home page
Vulnerability detail page with technical explanation and example attack
  • From the home page vulnerability catalogue, select a vulnerability card.
  • Read the technical explanation to understand how the attack works.
  • Inspect the example attack and model response behaviour.
  • Review the mitigation recommendations linked to that vulnerability.

3) Explore Mitigations

Mitigation strategies listed with descriptions and implementation examples
  • Go to the mitigations page to browse available defenses.
  • Compare strategy details and implementation style (process-level or code-based).
  • Use pseudocode/Python/Java implementation examples to plan adoption.

4) Create and Run a Security Test

  • Open the Testing page and create a named custom test.
  • Choose the target model and select one or more mitigations.
  • Enter a prompt in the chat-style test interface and run the test.
  • Review output, risk analysis, and pass/fail status against expected security behaviour.
  • Iterate by trying another attack, changing prompt content or mitigation settings, then rerun.

5) Use Prompt Enhancer

Prompt Enhancer interface showing mitigation selection and example system prompt
  • Open Prompt Enhancer to strengthen system prompts.
  • Choose selected mitigations and click generate.
  • Review the enhanced prompt and apply it in your target testing workflow.

6) Use the Security Assistant

  • Open the Security Assistant for Q&A on prompt injection theory and practical mitigation guidance.
  • Ask scenario-based questions (for example, model misuse patterns and defense trade-offs).
  • Use responses to decide which mitigations to test first.

7) Export and Share Findings

  • Export vulnerability views and test outputs to PDF where available.
  • Attach outputs to audit evidence, stakeholder reports, or implementation tickets.
  • Store final decisions with rationale (selected mitigations, residual risks, and next actions).

Recommended flow: Home → Vulnerability Detail → Mitigations → Testing → Prompt Enhancer → Re-test → Export PDF.
