Question 220
A deployed environment still does not meet the original requirement: Compliance requires protected organization-wide API activity logs to flow into a centralized security account with controlled deletion. Which root cause is most consistent with the observation?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This is the technical design error aligned with the unmet requirement. AWS Organizations trails centralize multi-account CloudTrail logging when storage access is secured. The appropriate correction is: Configure an organization trail delivered to a protected central S3 bucket with appropriate key and bucket controls. The control should then be tested by verifying that Every enrolled account produces expected trail events in the security account and workloads cannot delete retained logs.
Incorrect Answers
Resource tags were never activated as billing cost allocation dimensions. The stated evidence instead indicates: Disjoint local-account trails leave central auditors with incomplete visibility.
The remote principal has S3 object access but lacks required key-policy and IAM decrypt permission. The stated evidence instead indicates: Disjoint local-account trails leave central auditors with incomplete visibility.
Individual Security Hub instances were not centrally delegated or aggregated. The stated evidence instead indicates: Disjoint local-account trails leave central auditors with incomplete visibility.
