An organization uses Claude via both Anthropic direct API and Amazon Bedrock for different business units. What is the key governance implication of this multi-channel architecture?
Answer: Data handling terms and BAA obligations differ between the two channels
When using both direct API and Bedrock, the data handling terms and BAA structures differ: the direct API is governed by Anthropic's DPA, while Bedrock is governed by AWS's terms. This creates a split compliance posture that must be documented — different data classifications may be permitted on each channel, and audit evidence must address both providers separately.
