AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 561

A company runs an ecommerce website that is hosted on AWS. External auditors have requested proof that the AWS services that the company uses are compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).

Which AWS service will provide this information?

Answer options

• A. AWS Certificate Manager (ACM)
• B. AWS Artifact
• C. AWS License Manager
• D. AWS CloudTrail

Correct answer: B

Explanation

AWS Artifact is the central resource for secure, on-demand access to AWS compliance reports and agreements, making it the correct service for retrieving PCI DSS compliance documentation. AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) is designed for provisioning and managing SSL/TLS certificates, whereas AWS License Manager simplifies the management of software licenses. AWS CloudTrail is used for logging and auditing account activity, not for obtaining official third-party compliance reports.
