An organization shares an AI model with external partners.

In the case of a potential data exposure through AI model outputs, the first and most responsible action from an auditing and risk standpoint is to halt further risk propagation. According to the AAIA™ Study Guide, immediate containment is vital, especially when regulatory and reputational risks are high.

“Upon detection of a data breach risk, AI models should be immediately disabled from public or partner use, and all relevant parties should be notified as part of a responsible disclosure and containment strategy.”

While options A and D are longer-term remediation steps and B is investigative, none of them provide the urgent containment that is best practice in such a breach context.
