AI-103 Plan And Manage AN Azure AI Solution Practice Question
You are deploying an Azure AI Speech resource. Your compliance team stipulates that all data sent to the speech service must be processed strictly within the geographical boundaries of the European Union and must not be used for Microsoft's model training. How should you ensure this compliance?
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
✓
Deploy the Speech resource in an EU-based region (such as West Europe) and review the data privacy and residency terms.
Azure AI Services comply with regional data residency and offer data privacy controls ensuring customer data is stored at rest in the specified region and not used for training without explicit opt-in.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Deploy the Speech resource in an EU-based region (such as West Europe) and review the data privacy and residency terms.
Why this is correct
Deploying in an EU region ensures regional data processing, and Microsoft's enterprise terms guarantee customer data is not used to train base models.
- ✗
Enable Azure Policy to encrypt all audio files using customer-managed keys (CMK).
Why it's wrong here
CMK encrypts data at rest, but residency and training behaviors are governed by resource region selection and service terms.
- ✓
Install a local speech-to-text container on an Azure VM and disconnect it from the internet permanently.
Why this is correct
While disconnected containers ensure local processing, standard cloud resources deployed in EU regions with enterprise agreements already meet EU data residency requirements.
- ✗
Configure an Azure Firewall instance to inspect and drop audio payloads destined outside the EU.
Why it's wrong here
Azure AI endpoints reside on Microsoft's backbone; an Azure firewall cannot rewrite or filter internal region routing of PaaS requests.
