SAP-C02 Practice Question: Design Solutions for Organizational Complexity
A company has a multi-account environment with a central security account. They want to use AWS Security Hub to aggregate findings from all accounts. What is the correct setup?
⚠ Common exam trap
Test-takers frequently confuse Security Hub's multi-account model with other aggregation services like AWS Config aggregator or CloudWatch cross-account dashboards, assuming any cross-account aggregation tool can consolidate Security Hub findings, when in fact Security Hub requires its own dedicated multi-account feature.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Enable Security Hub in the central account and invite member accounts to enable Security Hub.
AWS Security Hub uses a multi-account architecture where a central administrator account invites member accounts to enable Security Hub. This allows the administrator account to aggregate findings, insights, and compliance scores from all member accounts into a single view, enabling centralized security monitoring without additional forwarding infrastructure.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Set up Amazon EventBridge to forward findings from each account to the central account.
Why it's wrong here
EventBridge can forward events, but Security Hub natively supports aggregation.
- ✗
Use Amazon CloudWatch cross-account dashboards to view findings.
Why it's wrong here
CloudWatch dashboards can show metrics but not Security Hub findings directly.
- ✗
Enable AWS Config aggregator in the central account.
Why it's wrong here
Config aggregator is for Config rules, not Security Hub.
- ✓
Enable Security Hub in the central account and invite member accounts to enable Security Hub.
Why this is correct
This is the standard way to aggregate findings in Security Hub.
