What it measures

SecQA tests understanding of computer security principles: access control, cryptography basics, network security, and related topics drawn from a security-planning textbook. Questions are four-option multiple choice. v1 covers foundational, introductory-level concepts; v2 raises the difficulty with more nuanced and applied scenarios. Each item has a short rationale attached in the source dataset, though the evaluation itself only grades the selected option.

Task format

Four-option multiple choice, graded on the single correct letter. inspect_evals implements four task variants: sec_qa_v1, sec_qa_v1_5_shot, sec_qa_v2 and sec_qa_v2_5_shot, covering zero-shot and five-shot prompting for each difficulty tier.
