Practice question for this objective

A healthcare organisation is deploying a generative AI assistant that may receive sensitive patient queries. The security team requires that data submitted to the model is NEVER used by the model provider to retrain their models. Which Amazon Bedrock feature addresses this requirement?

  • AActivating Amazon Bedrock Guardrails to filter harmful content from both inputs and outputs before they reach the underlying model.
  • BConfiguring a VPC endpoint (PrivateLink) for Amazon Bedrock so that all traffic stays within the AWS network and never traverses the public internet.
  • CUsing Amazon Bedrock's data privacy commitment, which ensures that customer prompts and responses are not used to train or improve AWS or third-party foundation models. Correct
  • DEnabling server-side encryption with a customer-managed KMS key on all Bedrock invocations to retain cryptographic control over model input data.
Understand that Amazon Bedrock's data privacy commitment ensures customer invocation data is not used to train foundation models, satisfying healthcare data governance requirements. Amazon Bedrock is designed so that customer inputs and model outputs are not shared with model providers and are not used to train or improve any model. This is a service-level commitment documented in AWS's data privacy terms, distinguishing Bedrock from some other AI APIs. Network controls and encryption address different threats and do not substitute for this data-use policy.

Why A is wrong: Guardrails filter content for safety and policy compliance but do not govern whether the model provider uses invocation data for retraining. Content filtering and data usage policies are separate concerns.

Why B is wrong: A VPC endpoint keeps traffic off the public internet and reduces network-level exposure, but the data still reaches the Bedrock service. Network routing does not affect the contractual or technical mechanisms governing whether prompt data is used for model training.

Why C is correct: AWS explicitly commits that data submitted to Amazon Bedrock - including prompts and completions - is not used to train the underlying foundation models. This is a contractual and architectural guarantee built into the service, directly addressing the organisation's requirement without any additional configuration.

Why D is wrong: Customer-managed KMS keys give the customer control over who can decrypt their data, which is a confidentiality and access-control measure. It does not prevent the model provider from processing the plaintext during inference or address the data-use policy for training.
