Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Requiring a documented 'AI Bill of Materials' to understand data lineage and model provenance.
Why this is correct
An AI BOM (or equivalent documentation) is essential for assessing third-party model risk.
- ✗
Conducting a manual audit of the vendor's source code.
Why it's wrong here
Vendors rarely provide source code; this is not a scalable control.
- ✗
Requiring the vendor to submit a monthly performance report.
Why it's wrong here
Performance reports do not capture systemic risk or lineage information.
- ✗
Setting a limit on the number of third-party vendors allowed.
Why it's wrong here
The number of vendors is less important than the quality of the specific risk assessment.
