AIF-C01 Practice Question: Security, Compliance, and Governance for AI Solutions
A financial institution is using Amazon Bedrock for a customer-facing application. They must ensure compliance with data residency requirements: model inputs and outputs must not leave a specific AWS Region. Which THREE steps should they take? (Choose THREE)
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Enable Bedrock model invocation logging to an S3 bucket and CloudWatch Logs in the same Region
To ensure data residency, the Bedrock model must be accessed only via a VPC endpoint (so traffic stays within AWS network), and all storage and logging must be in the desired Region. CloudTrail and invocation logs must also be stored in that Region.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Set up an S3 bucket for model invocation logs in a different Region for disaster recovery
Why it's wrong here
Storing logs in a different Region would violate data residency requirements.
- ✓
Enable Bedrock model invocation logging to an S3 bucket and CloudWatch Logs in the same Region
Why this is correct
Logging data must stay in the Region to meet residency requirements.
- ✓
Use AWS KMS to encrypt all data at rest with a customer managed key in the desired Region
Why this is correct
KMS keys are region-specific; using a key in the desired Region helps enforce that data stays there.
- ✓
Configure an AWS PrivateLink VPC endpoint for Amazon Bedrock in the desired Region
Why this is correct
PrivateLink keeps traffic within the AWS network and avoids crossing regional boundaries via the public internet.
- ✗
Use AWS Global Accelerator to route traffic to Bedrock across regions for better performance
Why it's wrong here
Global Accelerator would route traffic to the nearest region, but that could move data outside the desired Region.

| Storage Class | Min Duration | Retrieval | Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|
| S3 Standard | None | Immediate | Frequently accessed data |
| S3 Standard-IA | 30 days | Immediate | Infrequent access, rapid retrieval |
| S3 One Zone-IA | 30 days | Immediate | Non-critical infrequent data |
| S3 Intelligent-Tiering | None | Immediate–hours | Unknown or changing access patterns |
| S3 Glacier Instant | 90 days | Milliseconds | Archive with instant retrieval |
| S3 Glacier Flexible | 90 days | Minutes–hours | Archive, flexible retrieval |
| S3 Glacier Deep Archive | 180 days | Hours | Long-term compliance archive |
