AIF-C01 Practice Question: A healthcare company needs to use Amazon…
A healthcare company needs to use Amazon SageMaker Ground Truth for data labeling. The data includes protected health information (PHI) that must remain in the US. Which configuration meets the compliance requirements?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers assume that selecting a US region with a public workforce is sufficient for compliance, overlooking that PHI must not be exposed to external workers regardless of geographic location.
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
✓
Use a private workforce consisting of the company's employees and launch the labeling job in the us-east-1 region
A private workforce consisting of the company's own employees ensures that PHI is never exposed to external workers, and launching the labeling job in us-east-1 keeps all data within the US, satisfying the data residency requirement. Amazon SageMaker Ground Truth allows you to restrict data access to a private workforce that you manage, and by selecting a US region, you ensure that data processing and storage remain within US borders.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Use a vendor-managed workforce and set up data encryption
Why it's wrong here
Vendor-managed workforce may not meet data handling requirements without a BAA.
- ✓
Use a private workforce consisting of the company's employees and launch the labeling job in the us-east-1 region
Why this is correct
Private workforce ensures data is handled by employees under the company's control, and region choice ensures data residency.
- ✗
Use a public workforce (Mechanical Turk) and select the US East region
Why it's wrong here
Public workforce does not meet HIPAA requirements as workers are unvetted.
- ✗
Use a private workforce but launch the labeling job in the eu-west-1 region
Why it's wrong here
While private workforce is good, the region does not guarantee US data residency if data is processed in EU.
