AIF-C01 Practice Question: Security, Compliance, and Governance for AI Solutions

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
✓
The guardrail's content policy does not include the 'Fraud' category
Bedrock Guardrails rely on content policies that detect harmful content based on categories like fraud. If the guardrail template does not include the 'Fraud' category, such prompts may pass through. The guardrail's configuration must explicitly include the relevant harm category.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The guardrail's sensitivity threshold is set too low
Why it's wrong here
A low threshold would block more content, not allow it through.
- ✓
The guardrail's content policy does not include the 'Fraud' category
Why this is correct
Content policies are configurable; if 'Fraud' is not selected, the guardrail will not block prompts related to fraud.
- ✗
The prompt was sent to a different Bedrock model that does not support guardrails
Why it's wrong here
Guardrails are applied at the invocation level, independent of the model. All Bedrock models support guardrails.
- ✗
The guardrail was configured with a word filter but not a content filter
Why it's wrong here
Word filters can block specific phrases, but the question suggests a content policy issue; word filters are not designed to understand the concept of fraud.
