Question #: 273
Topic #: 1
[All AWS Certified Security - Specialty Questions]

A company plans to create individual child accounts within an existing organization in AWS Organizations for each of its DevOps teams. AWS CloudTrail has been enabled and configured on all accounts to write audit logs to an Amazon S3 bucket in a centralized AWS account. A security engineer needs to ensure that
DevOps team members are unable to modify or disable this configuration.
How can the security engineers meet these requirements?

  • A. Create an IAM policy that prohibits changes to the specific CloudTrail trail and apply the policy to the AWS account root user.
  • B. Create an S3 bucket policy in the specified destination account for the CloudTrail trail that prohibits configuration changes from the AWS account root user in the source account.
  • C. Create an SCP that prohibits changes to the specific CloudTrail trail and apply the SCP to the appropriate organizational unit or account in Organizations.
  • D. Create an IAM policy that prohibits changes to the specific CloudTrail trail and apply to a new IAM group. Have team members use individual IAM accounts that are members of the new IAM group.

Selected Answer: D
Even if the accounts are in a Org, but from the question it looks like trail is in individual account instead of an org trail. with this I will go for option C as it restricts user to modify the trails.

D - Although SCP seems interesting, the control level they want is at the devops team level. SCP will block all users

Selected Answer: C
C. Simple answer, much securer and easier than D. LaLune does make a little bit of sense, but the control of security is important. When it is needed for any change, the security engineer/admin can move the specific account out of the OU, or remove the SCP from the account.

The engineer does not want team members to change CloudTrail trail. May be someone else can do such a change (option would not allow that). That is why D is straight to the requirement! The answer is D.
