Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
A mandate to use the vendor's cloud region exclusively.
Why it's wrong here
Cloud region usage is a data residency concern, not a shadow AI control.
- ✗
A request for a free trial period.
Why it's wrong here
This is a commercial term, not a risk mitigation control.
- ✗
A requirement for 99.99% uptime SLA.
Why it's wrong here
Uptime is an availability metric, not a risk/shadow AI control.
- ✓
A clause requiring the vendor to disclose all sub-processors.
Why this is correct
Understanding the supply chain is vital for managing third-party AI risk and shadow deployment.
