You are evaluating a Claude-based deployment for adherence to a specific regulation. Which two steps must be completed BEFORE mapping deployment data…

Before mapping data flows to specific regulatory clauses, an organization must establish the foundational context of the deployment. First, you must identify the applicability of the regulation (Option B) by analyzing data types, jurisdictions, and user demographics to ensure the regulation actually applies to the workload. Second, you must inventory the vendor-provided compliance tooling and affordances (Option E), such as Anthropic's data retention policies, zero-day retention agreements, or SOC 2 controls. Understanding these available tools is a prerequisite to mapping how data flows will satisfy specific regulatory clauses.

A. Comparing controls to requirements is a gap analysis, which can only occur after mapping data flows to the regulatory clauses.

C. Scheduling remediation is a post-assessment activity that relies on the findings of the gap analysis.

D. Documenting gaps and residual risks is the final reporting step, occurring long after the initial mapping phase.
