AWS AIF-C01: Security, Compliance, and Governance for AI Solutions Practice Questions

5 free sample questions from the Security, Compliance, and Governance for AI Solutions domain, with answers and explanations. The full AIF-C01 bank has 60 questions across 5 domains. Questions are scenario-based and written from the official AWS exam guide.

1.

A compliance officer needs on-demand access to AWS compliance reports and certifications (e.g., SOC, ISO) for an audit. Which service provides these?

  • A. Amazon EBS
  • B. AWS Artifact✓ Correct
  • C. AWS Lambda
  • D. Amazon Rekognition
Explanation

AWS Artifact is the portal for AWS compliance reports and agreements (SOC, ISO, PCI, etc.). Rekognition (D) analyzes images, Lambda (C) runs code, and EBS (A) is block storage — none delivers compliance documentation.

2.

Which service helps DISCOVER and protect sensitive data (like PII) stored in Amazon S3, useful before feeding data into AI workloads?

  • A. Amazon Athena
  • B. Amazon Macie✓ Correct
  • C. AWS Batch
  • D. Amazon Kinesis Video Streams
Explanation

Amazon Macie uses ML to discover and classify sensitive data (such as PII) in S3, supporting data governance. Athena (A) queries data with SQL, AWS Batch (C) runs batch compute jobs, and Kinesis Video Streams (D) ingests video — none is a sensitive-data discovery service.

3.

Which AWS service records API calls and user activity across an account, providing an audit trail useful for governing AI workloads?

  • A. AWS Wavelength
  • B. Amazon Polly
  • C. AWS CloudTrail✓ Correct
  • D. Amazon Comprehend
Explanation

AWS CloudTrail logs API activity and user actions, giving an audit trail for governance and compliance. Polly (B) is text-to-speech, Comprehend (D) is NLP, and Wavelength (A) is edge compute — none provides account-wide audit logging.

4.

What does DATA LINEAGE provide in the governance of an AI workload?

  • A. The color scheme of the dashboard
  • B. A CDN caching policy
  • C. The number of GPUs used in training
  • D. A traceable record of where data came from and how it was transformed and used✓ Correct
Explanation

Data lineage tracks data's origin and its transformations through the pipeline, which is essential for auditability, reproducibility, and compliance. The other options describe UI, hardware, and networking concerns unrelated to lineage.

5.

A company wants to keep proprietary data used with a foundation model private and NOT have it used to train the base model. Which principle/approach supports this on AWS managed AI services?

  • A. Disable encryption to improve performance
  • B. Publicly share the data to speed up training
  • C. Grant every user administrator access
  • D. Use services and configurations that keep your data isolated and under your control, governed by IAM and the service's data-handling terms✓ Correct
Explanation

Keeping proprietary data private relies on data isolation, IAM least-privilege, encryption, and using services whose data-handling terms keep your inputs your own. Options A, B, and C are all insecure anti-practices that would expose data or weaken controls.
