Isaca AAIA Practice Test 90
Question 890
An independent AI auditor reviews this case: A vendor logs reveal patient details exposed through an AI assistant to unrelated authenticated users. Which TWO complementary elements should the auditor seek: an effective corrective control and the most probative independent evidence? Select TWO answers.
- Review access traces, affected documents, tenant identity, logs, containment steps and privacy leadership decisions.
- Delete all logs immediately to hide exposed data and mark the incident resolved without determining scope.
- Validate synthetic data for utility, subgroup representation, memorization and plausible disclosure before release.
- Contain disclosure, preserve evidence safely, scope affected data and follow jurisdiction-specific notification assessment.
- Inspect impact inventory, rollback record, retesting, business communications and lessons-learned owners.
Explanation
Correct Answers
A:The reason it is necessary is: AI privacy incidents require ordinary breach governance plus model, retrieval and prompt-specific evidence. This evidence directly tests the asserted control for AI privacy incident preservation and escalation: Review access traces, affected documents, tenant identity, logs, containment steps and privacy leadership decisions.
D:The reason it is necessary is: AI privacy incidents require ordinary breach governance plus model, retrieval and prompt-specific evidence. This response fits the risk associated with AI privacy incident preservation and escalation: Contain disclosure, preserve evidence safely, scope affected data and follow jurisdiction-specific notification assessment.
Incorrect Answers
B:This attractive shortcut does not resolve the AI privacy incident preservation and escalation weakness: Delete all logs immediately to hide exposed data and mark the incident resolved without determining scope. For this situation: A vendor logs reveal patient details exposed through an AI assistant to unrelated authenticated users.
C:This option concerns Synthetic training data utility and privacy controls, which is a related but different AI governance concern. It does not establish control effectiveness for AI privacy incident preservation and escalation.
E:This option concerns AI model rollback and stakeholder communication, which is a related but different AI governance concern. For this situation: A vendor logs reveal patient details exposed through an AI assistant to unrelated authenticated users.
Question 891

Question 892
A risk-based audit engagement examines this operating condition: A vendor logs reveal patient details exposed through an AI assistant to unrelated authenticated users. After management addresses the issue, which result MOST convincingly demonstrates effective remediation? Select ONE best answer.
