AIF-C01 Practice Question: Security, Compliance, and Governance for AI Solutions
An organization uses a third-party foundation model accessed through Amazon Bedrock. The compliance team requires that all model inputs and outputs be auditable and retained for one year. Which approach should the team implement?

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Enable Bedrock model invocation logging and configure destination to S3 with a lifecycle policy to retain logs for one year
Bedrock model invocation logging captures all requests and responses and can be sent to CloudWatch Logs or S3 for retention. CloudTrail logs only API-level events (e.g., InvokeModel calls) but not the actual payloads. The other options do not provide payload logging.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Store all prompts and responses in a DynamoDB table via custom code in the application
Why it's wrong here
Storing prompts and responses in DynamoDB via custom code fails to meet the audit requirement because Amazon Bedrock’s native model invocation logging, when enabled, automatically captures all inputs and outputs with CloudTrail integration, whereas DynamoDB requires manual insertion logic that risks gaps in coverage if the application fails to write a record. This option is tempting because DynamoDB offers low-latency, scalable storage for application data, and would be correct for retaining custom application logs unrelated to Bedrock’s model invocations, where the organisation controls the write path directly.
- ✗
Use VPC Flow Logs to capture network traffic to Bedrock
Why it's wrong here
VPC Flow Logs capture network metadata, not application payloads.
- ✓
Enable Bedrock model invocation logging and configure destination to S3 with a lifecycle policy to retain logs for one year
Why this is correct
This logs the inputs and outputs and retains them for the required period.
- ✗
Enable CloudTrail data events for Bedrock
Why it's wrong here
CloudTrail data events log API calls but not the content of model inputs and outputs.
