OWASP LLM Top 10 Mapped to BeyondGuard Guard Controls

The OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications has become the reference point for AI risk — the list boards ask about, auditors test against, and regulators cite. But naming a risk doesn’t stop it. Below, all ten meet the BeyondGuard control plane: what enforces each one, how it’s answered, and the outcome — allow, deny, mask, or rewrite — decided inline.

Decides, not advises

Every interaction resolves inline to allow, deny, mask, or rewrite — logged with a confidence score and reason code.

Independent of the model

Detection runs outside the LLM, so enforcement holds even when a model is jailbroken, replaced, or tricked.

Evidence on demand

Every verdict maps to OWASP, MITRE ATLAS, and NIST AI RMF — exportable when the auditor asks.

OWASP LLM Top 10 (2025) mapping

OWASP Risk (2025)	Enforced by	Controls	How the control plane answers it
LLM01 Prompt Injection	Prompt Guard	`BG-01` · `BG-05` · `BG-13` · `BG-15`	Every prompt — and every document the model reads — is normalized (encodings, homoglyphs, zero-width tricks) and classified by a 12B-parameter security model trained on 717K+ attack samples, before inference and in under 300 ms.
LLM02 Sensitive Information Disclosure	Prompt Guard	`BG-02` · `BG-20` · `BG-24`	PII, PHI, and secrets are masked inline on the way in and the way out; redaction keeps the answer useful while the full event streams to your SIEM. The ICAP path extends the same policy to employee AI traffic.
LLM03 Supply Chain	Red Team + Gateway	Red Team · Gateway	The Red Team module exercises third-party and updated models before release — injection, jailbreak, and retrieval-manipulation scenarios against the real target — while the model-agnostic gateway keeps applications isolated from any single checkpoint.
LLM04 Data and Model Poisoning	RAG Guard + File Guard	`BG-09` · `BG-12` · `BG-07`	Poisoning is intercepted where it acts: retrieval bound to authorized sources, agent memory checked for tampering, uploads screened for embedded instructions. Training-time variants run as Red Team scenarios before a model ships.
LLM05 Improper Output Handling	Context Guard	`BG-06` · `BG-17` · `BG-19` · `BG-22`	Responses are treated as untrusted input to the rest of your stack: output schemas validated, script and markup neutralized, generated code screened — before anything renders, executes, or leaves the boundary.
LLM06 Excessive Agency	Agent Guard + MCP Guard	`BG-10` · `BG-21` · `BG-25` · `BG-11`	Deny-by-default tool whitelists, argument-level checks, and plan-consistency tracking hold an agent inside its mandate across the whole reasoning chain — with loop cut-offs when execution stops converging.
LLM07 System Prompt Leakage	Prompt Guard	`BG-14`	Extraction attempts are recognized and refused; prompt sealing and integrity fingerprinting keep hidden instructions hidden, even under patient multi-turn pressure.
LLM08 Vector and Embedding Weaknesses	RAG Guard	`BG-09`	Policy is enforced at the vector-database boundary itself: source compliance, access rules, and data classification applied to retrieval traffic — not just to the prompts that trigger it.
LLM09 Misinformation	RAG Guard + Context Guard	`BG-09` · `BG-26` · `BG-16`	Responses must ground in authorized sources; ungrounded or out-of-scope claims are rewritten to a compliant equivalent or declined, and content, brand, and IP checks score whatever remains.
LLM10 Unbounded Consumption	Gateway	`BG-04` · `BG-11`	Token budgets, length ceilings, per-client rate limits, and infinite-loop detection cap what any user, agent, or attack can spend.

The Top 10 will change — new risks will enter, rankings will shift. The architecture underneath doesn’t have to. Every row above resolves through the same policy engine, the same four outcomes, and the same exportable evidence, which makes covering a new risk a policy update, not a re-platforming. That is what it means to answer OWASP at runtime.
