A manufacturing enterprise with 120 accounts must continuously assess CIS compliance, auto-remediate noncompliant S3 public access, and produce executive posture reports across regions. Which automation set should the security team deploy for continuous assessment and reporting?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Keeping up with 120 accounts by hand is like playing whack-a-mole you'll never win. With conformance packs, your CIS checks stay continuous as Config evaluates, Security Hub rolls up your reports, and Automation fixes that S3 exposure for you.
Full Explanation
The correct automation set works because Config conformance packs bundle CIS rules that continuously evaluate S3 across accounts and regions, Security Hub with cross-account and cross-Region aggregation normalizes findings into posture scores and dashboards, and Config remediation actions invoke Systems Manager Automation to reapply S3 Block Public Access and revert drift without human intervention. The SNS-notification design fails the automation concept because detection plus owner notification still requires manual remediation, violating the auto-remediate mandate. The Athena-archive design fails the posture concept because storing Config history in S3 for Athena enables audit querying but does not provide normalized findings, consolidated scores, or multi-region views. The Inspector-based design fails the configuration assessment concept because Inspector targets vulnerabilities and OS-level benchmarks for EC2 and Lambda, not continuous S3 bucket policy evaluation, leaving storage misconfiguration uncovered. Exam caveat is to map each service to its domain and separate notify from remediate, since distractors keep two pillars while swapping automation for alerting, posture management for archival analytics, or configuration compliance for vulnerability assessment. Practical check is to deploy the pack via StackSets, confirm CIS scores in the delegated administrator, then test a public bucket in a sandbox and verify auto-blocking and finding resolution.
