AI Security Certification Test (OWASP LLM Top 10)

The AI Security Certification Test (OWASP LLM Top 10) is a free advanced-level, 25-minute skill test from Science of Apps. A defensive AI and LLM application security skills test — the AI threat landscape and frameworks, prompt injection and output handling, data protection and privacy, model and supply chain security, and securing AI agents with monitoring and governance — written to the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications (2025), MITRE ATLAS, the NIST AI RMF and Generative AI Profile, and the joint NCSC/CISA secure AI development guidelines for 2026. For defensive use and learning only. Score 70% or more on its 25 questions to earn a verifiable AI Security certificate (SOA-AIS). Every question is based on published standards and research — including OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications (OWASP), Guidelines for secure AI system development (UK NCSC & CISA), Artificial Intelligence Risk Management Framework: Generative AI Profile (NIST AI 600-1) (NIST) — and each answer is explained with its source.

Take the free AI Security Certification Test on Science of Apps. It tests prompt injection, data leakage, and insecure output handling against a 2026–2027 syllabus, and passing earns a verifiable certificate you can add to LinkedIn.

Read the five skill areas on this page, then take the 25-minute test online — no fee, course or sign-up. You see every answer explained when you finish. Score 70% or more and you get a AI Security certificate straight away, on screen, as a PDF and by email, with a credential ID anyone can verify.

Yes. The questions are original scenarios written by Science of Apps, and each one is based on a public source you can read: OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications (OWASP); Guidelines for secure AI system development (UK NCSC & CISA); Artificial Intelligence Risk Management Framework: Generative AI Profile (NIST AI 600-1) (NIST); MITRE ATLAS (MITRE); AI Risk Management Framework (NIST); EU Artificial Intelligence Act (European Union). The source is shown under each question and linked in the answer review. Science of Apps doesn't copy questions from other tests.

Five skill areas with five questions each, drawn from a bank of 10 per area so a retake brings new questions: AI Threat Landscape and Frameworks (OWASP LLM Top 10, ATLAS and Risk frameworks); Prompt Injection and Output Handling (Direct and indirect injection and Output safety); Data Protection and Privacy (Sensitive data, RAG security and Privacy); Model and Supply Chain Security (Provenance, Integrity and Deployment); Agent Security, Monitoring and Governance (Excessive agency, Monitoring and Governance). Every question is an original scenario written to the 2026–2027 standard, with the published source named under it.

AI security engineer, Application security engineer, ML engineer, Security architect and AI governance and risk lead. It suits anyone who wants a quick, verifiable way to show AI Security knowledge in 2026 and 2027, from students and career switchers to experienced professionals.

Defensive skills for securing LLM and AI applications: recognising prompt injection and data leakage risks, handling model output safely, protecting training and retrieval data, securing the model supply chain, limiting agent permissions, and monitoring and governing AI systems.

A community list of the most critical security risks in applications built on large language models. The 2025 edition covers prompt injection, sensitive information disclosure, supply chain, data and model poisoning, improper output handling, excessive agency, system prompt leakage, vector and embedding weaknesses, misinformation and unbounded consumption.

Yes. The test is online, in English and free everywhere — people take it from India, the US, the UK, Europe, Africa, Latin America and Asia-Pacific. Your certificate is dated with your own local date and can be verified from anywhere at scienceofapps.com/certification/verify/.

25 questions — 5 from each of 5 skill areas — with a 25-minute limit. You need 70% (18 of 25) to pass and 90% for distinction.

We rate it Advanced: assumes years in the role or deep specialist knowledge. It has 25 scenario questions — 5 from each of 5 skill areas — and a 25-minute limit. You need 70% (18 of 25) to pass and 90% for distinction.

Nothing. There is no fee to take a test, to receive the certificate, to have it emailed or to verify it, and no sign-up.

On our server, not in your browser. The answers never reach the page until you submit, so a certificate can only be earned by passing. Each certificate gets a unique credential ID stored by Science of Apps.

You see your score for each area and every question with the correct answer and why, with the published source behind it. You can retake after 30 minutes, and the retake draws questions you haven't seen yet.

No. Every certificate is dated, so it always shows when you passed. Retake a test any time for a newer date or a higher score.

Yes. After you pass, Add to LinkedIn opens the Licenses & certifications form with the certificate name, Science of Apps as the issuer, the issue date, your credential ID and the verification link filled in. You can also download it as a PDF or PNG, and it's emailed to you as a PDF.

Every certificate has a credential ID and a QR code. Scanning it, or entering the ID at scienceofapps.com/certification/verify/, shows the holder's name, the certification, the score and the issue date from our records.

No. They are Science of Apps' own assessments of applied skill. They aren't issued by a university or standards body, and they work best alongside a portfolio that shows the skills in real work.
