AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 901

A company needs to build an application that uses AWS services. The application will be delivered to residents in European Counties. The company must abide by regional regulatory requirements.
Which AWS service or program should the company use to determine which AWS services meet the regional requirements?

Answer options

• A. AWS Audit Manager
• B. AWS Shield
• C. AWS Compliance Program
• D. AWS Artifact

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The AWS Compliance Program provides resources and information regarding how AWS services align with global and regional regulatory standards, helping users determine which services meet European compliance requirements. AWS Artifact is a self-service portal for downloading compliance reports, but the broader AWS Compliance Program is the resource used to understand service-specific compliance alignments. AWS Audit Manager is designed to automate evidence collection for audits, and AWS Shield is a DDoS protection service, making them incorrect for this scenario.
