SAP-C02 Practice Question: Design Solutions for Organizational Complexity
A company runs a multi-account AWS environment using AWS Organizations. The security team wants to ensure that all new member accounts automatically have a specific AWS Config rule enabled. Which solution should be used?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse SCPs with direct resource configuration, thinking they can enforce Config rules via permission boundaries, but SCPs only control API calls and cannot enable services or rules themselves.

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
✓
Deploy an AWS Config conformance pack across accounts using AWS Organizations.
AWS Config conformance packs are collections of AWS Config rules and remediation actions that can be deployed across multiple accounts and Regions using AWS Organizations. By deploying a conformance pack from the management account, you ensure that all existing and new member accounts automatically inherit the specified Config rules, as the conformance pack is applied at the organization level and propagates to new accounts as they are created.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Use AWS CloudFormation StackSets in each account.
Why it's wrong here
StackSets require manual setup per account; not automatic for new accounts.
- ✗
Create an AWS Lambda function in the management account to enable Config rules.
Why it's wrong here
Lambda would need to be triggered and cannot enforce rules on new accounts automatically.
- ✗
Use an SCP to require Config recording.
Why it's wrong here
SCPs only restrict permissions, they cannot enforce Config rules.
- ✓
Deploy an AWS Config conformance pack across accounts using AWS Organizations.
Why this is correct
Conformance packs can be deployed to all accounts and regions via a single API call.
