For AI red teaming, it tests chatbots, agents, and RAG apps against OWASP LLM Top 10 attack suites, with references to the NIST AI RMF Measure function and EU AI Act Article 55. Automated risk analysis produces executive summaries and Key Risk Indicators. DASTA-AI says findings are sanitized before AI analysis and credentials are not sent to third-party services. A CLI supports interactive login or a DASTA_API_TOKEN for unattended pipelines, and CI/CD integration is listed. It runs on the web and as an API. The Demo plan is free for one scan; Personal is $100 a month for 30 scans per month. Pro has 300 scans per month and Enterprise lists unlimited scans and BYOK, but neither plan has a listed price.
