1. Apply SAIF across the AI lifecycle: Which approach best meets the requirement?

Easy
A nonprofit is adopting generative AI for donor services and requires security coverage for data, models, applications, tools, and supply-chain risks throughout the lifecycle. Which approach best meets the requirement?
  1. Protect the model endpoint with network controls and leave connected tools unchanged.
    Endpoint controls alone do not address data, applications, tools, supply chain, permissions, or lifecycle risks.
  2. Apply SAIF across the AI lifecycle. ✓
    SAIF provides a lifecycle-oriented security approach spanning AI assets, controls, detection, response, feedback, and business-context risk assessment.
  3. Rely on prompt wording to block malicious retrieved instructions.
    Prompting does not replace input handling, isolation, permissions, tool controls, monitoring, and response procedures.
  4. Monitor security only after the donor assistant launches.
    Post-launch monitoring omits preventive controls and risks arising during design, development, deployment, and supply-chain use.
The trap
Lifecycle security cannot begin only after launch. Prompt wording alone does not solve prompt injection. One perimeter control cannot cover the stated scope.

SAIF addresses security across the AI lifecycle and its connected assets.

2. Define the resident problem and stakeholder needs: Select TWO actions that should occur before choosing a mode

Medium
A city department is considering an AI assistant for permit inquiries. Select TWO actions that should occur before choosing a model.

Select two. More than one option is correct — every correct one is ticked below.

  1. Assume a successful pilot will scale across every department.
    Pilot results may not generalize across departments with different workflows, populations, data, risks, or governance conditions.
  2. Define the resident problem and stakeholder needs. ✓
    Clarifying the resident problem and affected stakeholders establishes the business requirements that model selection must satisfy.
  3. Pick the largest model first.
    Model size should follow the department’s requirements, feasibility, risks, and data conditions.
  4. Use benchmark scores as the primary outcome measure.
    Benchmarks can inform technical evaluation, but they do not by themselves measure service quality, completion, adoption, safety, or cost.
  5. Establish a baseline and measurable success criteria. ✓
    A baseline and measurable criteria allow the department to assess service improvement, adoption, safety, and cost against current performance.
The trap
Larger is not automatically better for the business need. Technical performance is not the same as realized public-service value. Pilot success does not establish organization-wide readiness.

Define the business need and stakeholders, then establish a baseline and measurable outcomes before selecting technology.

3. Tell users when AI contributes and explain relevant: Which component most directly supports responsible AI tra

Medium
A manufacturer’s workflow uses AI to draft maintenance recommendations, which engineers approve before release. Which component most directly supports responsible AI transparency?
  1. Tell users when AI contributes and explain relevant limitations. ✓
    Transparency communicates AI involvement and limitations, helping users interpret recommendations and understand their responsibilities.
  2. Increase generation temperature to expose more possible recommendations.
    Temperature changes sampling variation and does not inform users about AI involvement, limitations, or accountability.
  3. Replace engineer approval with an automated confidence score.
    A score does not provide transparency and may weaken accountable oversight for consequential maintenance decisions.
  4. Remove demographic fields from all maintenance records.
    Removing fields may affect privacy or bias analysis, but it does not communicate AI use or limitations.
The trap
Output variability does not create user transparency. Data minimization is not transparency about AI involvement. Confidence scores do not replace informed human accountability.

Transparency requires communicating AI involvement and limitations to people relying on its recommendations.

4. Grant the assistant only approved document and purchasing: Which action best demonstrates least-privilege IAM?

Medium
A research team is deploying an assistant that can retrieve project documents and submit purchase requests. Which action best demonstrates least-privilege IAM?
  1. Give the assistant broad project-owner access so every future workflow works without changes.
    Broad permissions increase blast radius and violate least privilege even if they simplify future expansion.
  2. Grant the assistant only approved document and purchasing permissions required for its assigned workflow. ✓
    Least privilege limits identities and tools to necessary resources and actions, reducing impact from misuse or compromise.
  3. Use Security Command Center findings as the assistant’s authorization mechanism.
    Security Command Center provides posture and threat insights; IAM determines who can perform actions on resources.
  4. Rely on prompt instructions telling the assistant not to purchase unauthorized items.
    Prompt instructions are not a substitute for enforceable identity, resource, and action permissions.
The trap
Security findings do not grant or constrain resource permissions. Natural-language restrictions cannot replace authorization controls. Convenience does not justify unnecessary permissions.

Least privilege grants only the resources and actions necessary for the assistant’s defined workflow.

5. Set a baseline and pilot measures first: What is the most practical next step?

Medium
A training provider wants an AI tutor, but pilot funding is limited and learner-support quality has not been measured. What is the most practical next step?
  1. Use model benchmark scores as evidence that learner support will improve.
    A benchmark score does not directly measure learner outcomes, adoption, safety, completion, or service quality.
  2. Deploy the tutor broadly before defining outcomes, safeguards, or evaluation criteria.
    Scaling before defining criteria increases cost and governance risk and weakens attribution of observed results.
  3. Measure staff time savings alone and infer learner benefit from the result.
    Time savings alone do not show learner benefit or whether capacity gains become realized cash savings.
  4. Set a baseline and pilot measures first. ✓
    A baseline and measurable outcomes allow leaders to judge whether a bounded pilot improves learner support enough to justify further investment.
The trap
Assumes efficiency automatically proves business value. Confuses technical performance with a business outcome. Places broad deployment before measurement and safeguards.

Set a baseline and pilot measures first.

6. Give a support leader pause rights: Which governance choice best satisfies both requirements?

Hard
A customer support team is introducing an assistant for refund decisions. Leaders require one accountable owner with authority to pause deployment and enough information to escalate harmful patterns. Which governance choice best satisfies both requirements?
  1. Use human review for every response.
    Human review may identify issues, but this option does not establish a named owner with explicit pause authority and escalation responsibility.
  2. Assign a manager to inspect monthly results.
    Monthly inspection may be too slow for harmful patterns and does not explicitly provide authority to pause deployment or escalate issues.
  3. Have the vendor own safety decisions and deployment pauses.
    The organization must retain accountable ownership of its deployment decisions and business consequences, even when a vendor supplies technology or services.
  4. Give a support leader pause rights, metrics, and escalation authority. ✓
    This assigns an internal owner with relevant information, authority to intervene, and a defined route for escalating harmful patterns.
The trap
Review alone is not accountable governance. Periodic monitoring does not guarantee timely intervention. Vendor responsibilities do not replace organizational accountability.

Assign an internal owner with metrics, escalation authority, and the power to pause deployment.

7. Grounding provides evidence: What should they conclude?

Medium
A retailer grounds product answers in retrieved documents, but some documents may contain malicious instructions aimed at changing the assistant’s behavior. Leaders want to understand the concrete limitation of retrieval grounding. What should they conclude?
  1. Grounding provides evidence, not instruction trust. ✓
    Retrieval can improve access to relevant information while retrieved content remains untrusted and may contain prompt-injection instructions.
  2. Restricting retrieval to approved sources removes injection risk.
    Approved sources can still contain compromised or adversarial content, so source restriction alone does not neutralize prompt injection.
  3. Adding citations ensures retrieved instructions cannot control behavior.
    Citations can improve traceability, but they do not prevent malicious text from influencing the model’s behavior.
  4. Filtering the final answer prevents retrieved instructions from affecting tool use.
    Output filtering may catch some responses, but it does not reliably prevent unsafe intermediate decisions or tool calls.
The trap
Source allowlisting is useful but is not a complete injection defense. Traceability does not equal instruction isolation. Post-generation filtering is not a substitute for input, permission, and action controls.

Grounding improves evidence access, but retrieved text remains untrusted and can carry prompt-injection instructions.

8. Pilot dispatch with authorized data: Which prioritization is strongest?

Hard
A logistics company can fund one initial initiative. Leaders want measurable near-term operational value, have limited integration capacity, and must use data already available under approved rights. Which prioritization is strongest?
  1. Pilot dispatch with authorized data, a baseline, and completion-time goals. ✓
    This selects a bounded workflow with available data, measurable value, and limited integration demands.
  2. Launch an enterprise-wide transformation before establishing a baseline.
    Broad scope increases integration and attribution challenges, making near-term value difficult to measure.
  3. Choose the most visible customer problem despite unresolved data access.
    Visibility does not overcome unavailable or unauthorized data and may prevent a feasible initial pilot.
  4. Select the newest model based primarily on its benchmark results.
    A benchmark score does not establish operational value, data feasibility, authorized use, or integration fit.
The trap
Strategic attention cannot substitute for data readiness and rights. Large scope weakens learning and measurement. Technical novelty is not a business prioritization method.

Prioritize a valuable, feasible workflow with authorized data, a baseline, and measurable outcomes.

9. Measure representative subgroup outcomes and define: Which approach best meets that requirement?

Medium
A finance team is assessing an assistant that recommends cases for review. The explicit requirement is to identify and address unequal outcomes across relevant customer subgroups using representative evaluation data. Which approach best meets that requirement?
  1. Rely on reviewer impressions of fairness without subgroup metrics.
    Qualitative review can add context, but it cannot reliably identify systematic subgroup differences without targeted measurement.
  2. Report overall accuracy from a large aggregate evaluation set.
    Aggregate accuracy can conceal materially different outcomes for relevant customer subgroups.
  3. Measure representative subgroup outcomes and define remediation actions. ✓
    This directly evaluates relevant disparities and connects findings to corrective action and escalation.
  4. Remove demographic fields before evaluation and treat the result as fair.
    Removing direct demographic fields does not remove proxy variables or reveal unequal subgroup outcomes.
The trap
Overall averages can hide subgroup disparities. Feature removal alone does not establish fairness. Opinion cannot replace representative subgroup evaluation.

Measure representative subgroup outcomes and connect disparities to remediation and escalation.

10. Verify data provenance and integrity: Which evaluation criterion most directly addresses this risk?

Medium
A nonprofit suspects that internally collected examples were deliberately altered to influence an AI system’s behavior. Which evaluation criterion most directly addresses this risk?
  1. Verify data provenance and integrity, then test a clean representative holdout. ✓
    Provenance and integrity checks can identify suspicious examples, while clean-holdout testing helps assess their behavioral effects.
  2. Measure response latency under normal traffic.
    Latency measures operational performance and does not establish whether examples were altered or affected behavior.
  3. Compare the interface with similar nonprofit products.
    Interface comparisons do not reveal compromised examples or resulting behavioral changes.
  4. Raise temperature and sample varied outputs to look for behavioral changes.
    Temperature changes sampling variability and cannot validate training-example integrity or reliably detect poisoning.
The trap
Uses a runtime metric to assess data integrity. Confuses presentation quality with poisoning detection. Confuses output variation with evidence about the data.

Check data provenance and integrity, then test behavior on a clean representative holdout.

11. Named owners, criteria, review, and escalation: What must remain in place regardless of the technology choice?

Easy
A city department is choosing whether to build or buy an assistant. The workflow requires accountable ownership, measurable acceptance criteria, procurement review, and escalation. What must remain in place regardless of the technology choice?
  1. Model-generated responses without departmental approval.
    Generated responses do not establish ownership, acceptance criteria, procurement review, or escalation.
  2. Named owners, criteria, review, and escalation. ✓
    These governance elements preserve accountability, acceptance decisions, procurement coordination, and escalation regardless of whether the assistant is built or bought.
  3. Vendor safety documentation without local decision authority.
    Documentation can inform decisions but cannot replace departmental accountability or approval processes.
  4. A larger model trained on departmental examples instead of oversight.
    Customization may change behavior but cannot establish ownership, procurement controls, acceptance criteria, or escalation.
The trap
A model cannot own organizational governance. Documentation is not governance authority. Technical customization cannot substitute for governance.

Named governance preserves ownership, criteria, review, and escalation.

12. Compare subgroup outcomes and investigate correlated: Which approach is best?

Medium
A manufacturer uses historical maintenance data to prioritize technician assignments. Leaders want to test for proxy-variable bias rather than assume fairness from removing demographic fields. Which approach is best?
  1. Compare subgroup outcomes and investigate correlated features. ✓
    Comparing relevant subgroup outcomes can reveal disparities, while investigating correlated features can identify proxies that reproduce protected differences.
  2. Delete protected attributes from the data.
    Indirectly correlated features may preserve discriminatory patterns after direct protected attributes are removed.
  3. Rely on supervisor approval without subgroup outcomes or feature analysis.
    Human review may help, but without outcome and feature analysis it cannot diagnose systematic proxy-related disparities.
  4. Use one aggregate accuracy score.
    An aggregate score can conceal unequal assignment quality or error rates across subgroups.
The trap
Averages can hide subgroup harms. Removing direct attributes does not remove proxies. Human judgment alone cannot reveal hidden group disparities.

Compare subgroup outcomes and investigate correlated features; removing demographics alone is insufficient.
