Control 2.20 — PowerShell Setup: Adversarial Testing and Red Team Framework

Scope. This playbook is the canonical PowerShell automation reference for Control 2.20 — Adversarial Testing and Red Team Framework. It orchestrates pre-deployment and scheduled adversarial probes against Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, and Azure OpenAI / Azure AI Foundry-backed agents, and emits SHA-256-hashed evidence packs suitable for SEC 17a-4(f) WORM retention.

Companion documents.

  • Control specification — docs/controls/pillar-2-management/2.20-adversarial-testing-and-red-team-framework.md
  • Portal walkthrough — ./portal-walkthrough.md
  • Verification & testing — ./verification-testing.md
  • Troubleshooting — ./troubleshooting.md
  • Shared baseline — docs/playbooks/_shared/powershell-baseline.md

Hedging. The cmdlets, REST calls, and patterns below support compliance with OCC Bulletin 2011-12, Federal Reserve SR 11-7, FINRA Rule 3110 and Notice 25-07 (March 2025), SEC Rule 17a-4(b)(4) and 17a-4(f), GLBA §501(b), the NIST AI RMF Generative AI Profile (NIST AI 600-1), and MITRE ATLAS. They do not by themselves guarantee regulatory compliance.

Read the FSI PowerShell baseline first

Before running any command, read the PowerShell Authoring Baseline for FSI Implementations — module pinning, sovereign-cloud endpoints (GCC / GCC High / DoD), -WhatIf / SupportsShouldProcess, Dataverse compatibility, and SHA-256 evidence emission. Snippets below show abbreviated patterns; the baseline is authoritative when the two diverge.


§0 Wrong-shell trap (READ FIRST)

Adversarial probes against AI agents touch five distinct surfaces. Choosing the wrong one (or invoking the right one without sovereign-cloud parameters) produces silent false-clean evidence — every probe "succeeds" because it never actually reached the agent.

Surface Connect cmdlet Module(s) What it does in 2.20
Copilot Studio Direct Line OAuth bearer + REST against https://directline.botframework.com (or directline.botframework.us for GCC High / DoD) none — Invoke-RestMethod Sends probe prompts to a Copilot Studio agent endpoint and captures the response
Microsoft 365 Copilot Connect-MgGraph + Graph BetaCopilot endpoints (where available); otherwise interactive testing only Microsoft.Graph.Authentication Read-only inventory of Copilot agents; Microsoft 365 Copilot itself is generally not script-promptable as of April 2026
Azure OpenAI / Azure AI Foundry Connect-AzAccount + REST against *.openai.azure.com or *.cognitiveservices.azure.com Az.Accounts, Az.CognitiveServices Probe completions endpoint; query Risk & Safety Evaluations
Azure AI Content Safety — Prompt Shields one-shot Connect-AzAccount + REST text:shieldPrompt Az.Accounts Validate that a given prompt would be shielded (independent of any agent)
Microsoft Sentinel — reconcile probe with detection Connect-AzAccount Az.SecurityInsights, Az.OperationalInsights KQL query for CopilotInteraction and Defender alert records produced during the probe window

There is no PowerShell cmdlet that "runs an adversarial test suite" by name. Microsoft PyRIT (Python Risk Identification Toolkit) is the supported orchestrator. Where this playbook shows PowerShell-driven probes, the PowerShell wrapper invokes PyRIT or directly calls the REST endpoint above. PowerShell-only probe runners are acceptable for simple suites but must still produce the canonical evidence pack (§5).

There is no Microsoft cmdlet that authors an Azure AI Foundry Risk & Safety Evaluation. Use the Foundry Python SDK (azure-ai-evaluation) from the runner; capture the resulting JSON for the evidence pack.

0.1 The four most common false-clean defects

Defect Symptom Guard
Probe runner targets a stale or mock endpoint Every prompt returns a canned "I cannot help with that" — defense-rate looks like 100 % §1 endpoint reachability check; §2 canary prompt that must elicit a substantive response
Connect-AzAccount / Direct Line URL not branched per sovereign cloud Authenticates against commercial; zero alerts; "clean" report §1 sovereign-cloud branching
Install-Module ... -Force without -RequiredVersion Floating module versions; reproducibility broken; SOX 404 / OCC 2023-17 evidence rejected Use the §1 install loop with explicit -RequiredVersion
Evidence pack written without SHA-256 manifest Cannot prove integrity at audit; SEC 17a-4(f) attestation invalid §5 mandatory Write-FsiEvidence wrapper + manifest.json

0.2 PowerShell edition guard

§2 Probe runner — adversarial test execution

This runner is idempotent (re-running with the same inputs produces the same evidence pack name, replacing any prior artefact) and mutation-safe in the sense that it makes no tenant configuration changes — it only reads from the agent endpoint. However, the prompts it sends are recorded in the agent's audit trail; treat each run as an auditable event.

<#
.SYNOPSIS
    Executes an adversarial test suite against an AI agent endpoint and emits a SHA-256-hashed evidence pack.

.DESCRIPTION
    Idempotent probe runner for Control 2.20. Loads test cases from a tagged attack library,
    sends prompts to the agent under test, scores responses against attack/defense indicators,
    and writes a CSV + JSON + SHA-256 manifest evidence pack.

.PARAMETER AgentEndpoint
    Full URL of the agent endpoint. Direct Line / Azure OpenAI / Foundry are all supported.

.PARAMETER EndpointType
    Endpoint type (DirectLine | AzureOpenAI | Foundry). Determines auth and request shape.

.PARAMETER TestSuitePath
    Local path to attack library (must include LIBRARY-VERSION file with tag/commit).

.PARAMETER GoldenDatasetPath
    Optional: path to golden dataset for regression check.

.PARAMETER EvidencePath
    Output directory for evidence pack. Created if missing.

.PARAMETER ZoneLabel
    Z1 | Z2 | Z3 — recorded in evidence pack and in CommandTags telemetry.

.PARAMETER Cloud
    Commercial | GCC | GCCHigh | DoD.

.EXAMPLE
    .\Invoke-AdversarialProbe.ps1 -AgentEndpoint 'https://...' -EndpointType DirectLine `
        -TestSuitePath '.\attack-library' -EvidencePath '.\evidence' -ZoneLabel Z3 -Cloud Commercial

§3 Capture content-safety baseline (Azure AI Foundry RAI policy)

Before measuring defense rate, snapshot the agent's content-safety configuration. If Prompt Shields is off, defense rate near 0 % is a Control 1.21 / Foundry config defect — not a 2.20 program failure.

    [Parameter(Mandatory)] [string]$ResourceGroup,

    [Parameter(Mandatory)] [string]$RaiPolicyName,
    [Parameter(Mandatory)] [string]$EvidencePath

§4 Reconcile probe with Control 1.21 detection (Sentinel KQL)

After a probe campaign, query Sentinel to verify the expected detection telemetry was produced. Reconciliation gaps are a finding for either Control 2.20 (attack library too narrow) or Control 1.21 (detection mis-tuned).

param(
    [Parameter(Mandatory)] [string]$WorkspaceId,

§5 Evidence helper — Write-FsiEvidence.ps1

Every script in this control writes through these helpers. They emit JSON, compute SHA-256, and append to manifest.json so an auditor can prove integrity.

function Add-FsiManifestEntry {
    [CmdletBinding()]
    param(
        [Parameter(Mandatory)] [string]$Path,
        [Parameter(Mandatory)] [string]$EvidencePath,
        [Parameter(Mandatory)] [string]$ScriptVersion
    )
    $hash = (Get-FileHash -Path $Path -Algorithm SHA256).Hash
    $manifestPath = Join-Path $EvidencePath 'manifest.json'
    $manifest = @()
    if (Test-Path $manifestPath) {
        $manifest = @(Get-Content $manifestPath -Raw | ConvertFrom-Json)
    }
    $manifest += [PSCustomObject]@{
        file           = (Split-Path $Path -Leaf)
        sha256         = $hash
        bytes          = (Get-Item $Path).Length
        generated_utc  = (Get-Date).ToUniversalTime().ToString('o')
        script_version = $ScriptVersion
        control        = '2.20'
    }
    $manifest | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 5 | Set-Content -Path $manifestPath -Encoding UTF8
}

After a campaign completes, copy the entire evidence directory to a Purview-managed retention-locked location (Control 1.19) without modification. Re-hashing at the destination should produce identical SHA-256 values; any drift is a chain-of-custody finding.

§7 Authoring conventions for this playbook

  • Every script #Requires -Version 7.4 and #Requires -PSEdition Core.
  • Every script supports -WhatIf where it changes anything (the runner only sends prompts, but is still gated by ShouldProcess).
  • Every script writes through Add-FsiManifestEntry — no exceptions.
  • Sovereign-cloud parameters are always required, never defaulted silently.
  • Probe runners are idempotent when re-run with the same library version + zone + UTC date.
