Amazon Quick and Bedrock enforce RAG permissions against source ACLs

aws.amazon.com by Amit Choudhary 5 min read Editor score 7/10

The design checks permissions directly against authoritative sources at query time so generated answers reflect users’ document access. This addresses a core security challenge for enterprise RAG deployments.

What

Amazon Quick and Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases use real-time ACL enforcement, checking permissions against authoritative sources at query time.

How

Replicated ACLs can become stale between syncs and may fail to capture source-specific permission rules.

Why it matters

Query-time checks address the risk of RAG answers exposing content after access is revoked or source permissions change.
