A taste of what you will get

  • The assistant only needs to call one model and read one knowledge base.

    Sample document 1: Felix's access plan for the member assistant. Which lines are wrong, and why?

    • Permissions: the assistant's role allows every Bedrock action on all resources
    • Network: calls to Bedrock go through AWS PrivateLink
    • Data: member documents are encrypted with a KMS key
    • Logging: API activity logging is switched off to save money
    • Input: a guardrail filters prompt attacks in member messages

    Answer: Line 1 (Permissions: the assistant's role allows every Bedrock action on all resources): It grants far more access than the assistant needs. Better: Allow only invoking the one model and querying the one knowledge base. Line 4 (Logging: API activity logging is switched off to save money): Nobody can see who did what, for audits or incidents. Better: Turn on AWS CloudTrail to record who took which action, and when.

  • The regulator wants evidence that the assistant's controls work, both on AWS and at Harbour.

    Sample document 2: Rosa's audit pack for the regulator. Which lines are wrong, and why?

    • Proof of our own controls: AWS's SOC report from AWS Artifact
    • API activity: AWS CloudTrail logs for the last 12 months
    • Settings changes: none recorded; the team remembers them
    • Encryption: member data encrypted with KMS keys
    • Review: governance policies reviewed every quarter

    Answer: Line 1 (Proof of our own controls: AWS's SOC report from AWS Artifact): It covers AWS's controls, not Harbour's own setup. Better: Use AWS's report for AWS's part, and add evidence of Harbour's own controls. Line 3 (Settings changes: none recorded; the team remembers them): Memory isn't evidence: record them with AWS Config. Better: Turn on AWS Config to keep a history of every configuration change.
