- A
Use Amazon Bedrock with a HIPAA-eligible account, enable encryption with KMS, and de-identify PHI in the prompt
Bedrock is HIPAA-eligible when used with AWS Organizations and BAA; de-identification and KMS encryption protect PHI.
- B
Use a publicly available foundation model API outside AWS for better accuracy
Why wrong: Using external APIs would send data outside AWS, violating HIPAA data residency requirements.
- C
Use Amazon Comprehend Medical for entity extraction and then feed results into a model on Amazon Bedrock without de-identification
Why wrong: Comprehend Medical is HIPAA-eligible, but sending PHI directly as prompts to Bedrock without de-identification may still expose data if prompts are logged.
- D
Use Amazon SageMaker with a public model from the internet without encryption
Why wrong: Lack of encryption and use of public models does not ensure HIPAA compliance; SageMaker can be used but must be configured properly.
Quick Answer
The correct approach is to use Amazon Bedrock with a HIPAA-eligible account, enable encryption with AWS KMS, and de-identify PHI in the prompt. This works because Bedrock operates within a HIPAA-eligible environment when configured under a Business Associate Agreement (BAA), and AWS KMS ensures data at rest and in transit remains encrypted, while de-identifying protected health information before sending it to the model prevents PHI from being stored or processed in prompts. On the AWS Certified AI Practitioner AIF-C01 exam, this scenario tests your understanding of the shared responsibility model for generative AI compliance—specifically that Bedrock’s infrastructure is HIPAA-eligible, but you must still manage data inputs and encryption. A common trap is assuming any foundation model is automatically compliant, but only HIPAA-eligible accounts with BAA support meet the requirement. Memory tip: “De-identify before you prompt, and KMS encrypt the lot.”
AIF-C01 Fundamentals of Generative AI Practice Question
This AIF-C01 practice question tests your understanding of fundamentals of generative ai. This is a configuration task: choose the command set that satisfies every stated requirement. Small differences — like 'secret' vs 'password' or 'transport input ssh' vs 'all' — change whether the answer is correct. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
A healthcare company wants to use generative AI to automatically generate patient summary reports from electronic health records (EHRs). The solution must be HIPAA compliant and data must not leave AWS. They plan to use Amazon Bedrock with a foundation model. The EHR data is stored in Amazon S3 and contains protected health information (PHI). Which approach best meets compliance requirements?

Correct answer & explanation
Use Amazon Bedrock with a HIPAA-eligible account, enable encryption with KMS, and de-identify PHI in the prompt
Amazon Bedrock operates within a HIPAA-eligible environment when configured appropriately, and using AWS KMS for encryption and not storing PHI in prompts (using de-identification) can maintain compliance. Using public models or non-HIPAA services would violate requirements. SageMaker with encryption can also be HIPAA-eligible, but Bedrock with proper settings is simpler.
Key principle: NAT direction and interface roles matter as much as the IP address mapping. Inside/outside designation controls which traffic is translated.

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: NAT rules depend on direction and matching traffic
NAT is not only about the public address. The inside/outside interface roles and the ACL or rule that matches traffic are just as important.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
NAT questions usually test address translation, overload/PAT behaviour, static mappings and whether the right traffic is being translated. Read the interface direction and address terms carefully.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
- PAT allows many inside hosts to share one public address using ports.
- Inside local and inside global describe the private and translated addresses.
- NAT ACLs identify traffic for translation, not always security filtering.
TExam Day Tips
- Identify inside and outside interfaces first.
- Check whether the scenario needs static NAT, dynamic NAT or PAT.
- Do not confuse NAT matching ACLs with normal packet-filtering intent.
Key takeaway
NAT direction and interface roles matter as much as the IP address mapping. Inside/outside designation controls which traffic is translated.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A media company stores terabytes of video archives that are accessed once a year for audit purposes. Moving these objects to a cold storage tier (Azure Archive, S3 Glacier, or Google Nearline) costs a fraction of hot storage. Questions like this test whether you understand storage tiers, access frequency tradeoffs, and retrieval latency requirements.
