Question 150

An independent AI auditor reviews this case: A hospital embeds a vendor foundation model but has no access to update notices or independent security assessments. Which TWO complementary elements should the auditor seek: an effective corrective control and the most probative independent evidence? Select TWO answers.

  1. Review classification methodology, autonomy and data sensitivity, impact scoring, approval records and reclassification triggers.
  2. Accept a vendor's generic responsible-AI brochure as complete proof of operational, privacy and audit controls.
  3. Require time-bound exception approvals, explicit risk ownership, compensating measures and periodic review.
  4. Inspect SOC reports where relevant, model cards, contracts, retention terms, subprocessor lists, SLAs and exit tests.
  5. Assess vendor control evidence, data handling, change notification, subcontractors, portability and remedies before acceptance.

Explanation

Correct Answers

D:

The reason it is necessary is: Third-party AI outsourcing transfers processing, not the organization's accountability for data and decisions. The corrective action is: Assess vendor control evidence, data handling, change notification, subcontractors, portability and remedies before acceptance.

E:

The reason it is necessary is: Third-party AI outsourcing transfers processing, not the organization's accountability for data and decisions. For this situation: A hospital embeds a vendor foundation model but has no access to update notices or independent security assessments.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This option concerns Risk-tiering and proportional approval gates, which is a related but different AI governance concern. The decisive principle here is: Third-party AI outsourcing transfers processing, not the organization's accountability for data and decisions.

B:

This attractive shortcut does not resolve the Third-party foundation model procurement assurance weakness: Accept a vendor's generic responsible-AI brochure as complete proof of operational, privacy and audit controls. For this situation: A hospital embeds a vendor foundation model but has no access to update notices or independent security assessments.

C:

This option concerns AI policy exception governance, which is a related but different AI governance concern. For this situation: A hospital embeds a vendor foundation model but has no access to update notices or independent security assessments.
