AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 980

Which action will provide documentation to help a company evaluate whether its use of the AWS Cloud is compliant with local regulatory standards?

Answer options

• A. Running Amazon GuardDuty
• B. Using AWS Artifact
• C. Creating an AWS Support ticket
• D. Evaluating AWS CloudTrail logs

Correct answer: B

Explanation

AWS Artifact is a self-service portal that provides on-demand access to AWS security and compliance reports, as well as select online agreements, making it the correct tool for evaluating regulatory alignment. Amazon GuardDuty is designed for threat detection and monitoring rather than documentation retrieval, while AWS CloudTrail records API activity for auditing purposes. Creating an AWS Support ticket is unnecessary because AWS Artifact provides direct, automated access to these compliance documents.
