The architecture uses a two‑stage retrieval flow: first a semantic pre‑retrieval filter applies cached ACL attributes stored in the vector index, then each candidate document is verified at query time by calling the original source API (e.g., Google Drive, Microsoft SharePoint, Atlassian Confluence) with user‑specific tokens. This ensures only documents the user is currently authorized to see are passed to the large language model for response generation.\n\nThe post highlights a Mondelēz International deployment covering more than 35,000 employees across four regions. By eliminating reliance on periodic sync jobs, the solution removes security gaps that can appear when permissions change, and it reduces the operational burden of managing sync frequency. Amazon Bedrock also adds guardrails, grounding checks and configurable safety policies to help organizations govern generative AI use. The blog invites readers to try Amazon Quick and Bedrock Knowledge Bases for their own enterprise AI workloads.","keyPoints":["Amazon Quick and Bedrock Knowledge Bases now enforce ACLs in real time at query time","Two‑stage retrieval: cached ACL filtering followed by live verification via source APIs such as Google Drive, SharePoint, Confluence","Mondelēz International deployed the solution for over 35,000 employees, citing stronger security and lower operational overhead"],"whyItMatters":"Real‑time ACL enforcement lets enterprises safely scale RAG applications without exposing confidential data, closing gaps caused by stale permission syncs and reducing admin effort.","category":{"slug":"enterprise","name":"Enterprise & Industry","url":"https://digestai.news/category/enterprise"},"entities":{"companies":["Amazon","Microsoft","Google","Atlassian","Mondelēz International"],"models":[],"people":["Jamahl Wiggins"]},"firstPublishedAt":"2026-10-07T18:34:44Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-07T18:34:44Z","sourceCount":1,"hasPrimarySource":true,"sources":[{"outlet":"AWS Machine Learning Blog","title":"Rethinking access control for RAG with Amazon Quick and Amazon Bedrock","url":"https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/machine-learning/rethinking-access-control-for-rag-with-amazon-quick-and-amazon-bedrock","publishedAt":"2026-10-07T18:34:44Z","type":"primary","primary":true,"lead":true}],"sourceNotes":null,"discussions":[],"thread":null,"cite":{"text":"Digest AI, \"Amazon Quick adds real-time ACL enforcement to Bedrock knowledge bases\", 7 October 2026, https://digestai.news/story/amazon-quick-adds-real-time-acl-enforcement-to-bedrock-knowledge-bases","publisher":"Digest AI","title":"Amazon Quick adds real-time ACL enforcement to Bedrock knowledge bases","datePublished":"2026-10-07T18:34:44Z","url":"https://digestai.news/story/amazon-quick-adds-real-time-acl-enforcement-to-bedrock-knowledge-bases"},"generatedBy":"Written by Digest AI's editorial model from the linked sources; the sources are the record.","license":"Headlines, digests and key points are written by Digest AI and may be quoted with a link to the story page.
