pro·vok / we make it say what it shouldn't

Independent
by design.

Provok is the AI assurance practice of Evolaition. We attack the AI you've deployed, document what breaks, and hand your auditor something they can actually verify. Onshore, authorised, and independent of the people who built it.

Why we exist

Most AI gets shipped and sold on hype, and then never independently tested. The team that built a system knows where its guardrails are, which is exactly why they're the wrong people to find the ways around them. That gap isn't a failing, it's how assurance works. You cannot objectively test your own work.

Provok fills that gap for the AI layer specifically, the part a traditional network or application pen test walks straight past. We attack it in Australia, document the controls, and give you a result your auditor and your enterprise buyers can rely on.

What guides our work

Independent

We don't build your AI, so we can test it honestly. No report that quietly protects our own work, and a clean separation from Evolaition's delivery teams on any system we assess.

Authorised and controlled

Signed authorisation and clear rules of engagement on every job. Least privilege, staging by default, isolated and fully logged testing. A separate analyst documents findings, so the team running the attack never grades its own work.

Onshore and auditable

Testing runs on Australian infrastructure and evidence is destroyed here, within Australian jurisdiction. Findings are mapped to the frameworks you already answer to, including the Privacy Act, APRA CPS 234 where relevant, ISO/IEC 42001 and the OWASP LLM Top 10.

Partner mindset

Small, senior work. We hand over findings your engineers can act on, retest once you've fixed them, and work alongside your team rather than around it.

How the practice is run

Provok operates as a dedicated assurance practice, kept separate from Evolaition's build and delivery teams. Any system Evolaition has built, configured or advised on is tested by people independent of that work, so the result stays honest. Engagements are run by senior testers, not handed to a checklist, and every finding is reviewed before it reaches you.

Who's behind it

Provok is led by Steven Zlatanovski, founder and principal of Evolaition. For three years he has designed, built and deployed AI-driven automation for healthcare and financial services organisations across Australia, with APRA, Medicare and AHPRA compliance built in from the ground up rather than retrofitted later.

He stays close to the build: designing the workflows, writing the integrations, reviewing the models. That perspective is exactly what makes the testing sharp. The person who knows how these systems are actually assembled knows where they break, and how an attacker would get there first.

His wider background spans financial governance, healthcare data and reporting, insolvency and assurance, and the oversight of AI-driven systems in regulated, high-impact environments, work where accuracy, auditability and defensible decision-making were never optional. Connect on LinkedIn.
