DS0-001 Data Governance And Security Practice Question

An administrator needs to restrict access to a specific S3 bucket so that only the Finance team can view files. Which configuration is the most effective approach?

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

Configure an S3 Bucket Policy

IAM policies attached to the specific bucket (Bucket Policies) are the primary control for S3 access management.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • Configure an S3 Bucket Policy

    Why this is correct

    Bucket policies allow for fine-grained resource-based access control.

  • Update the VPC Route Table

    Why it's wrong here

    Route tables manage network traffic, not identity-based data access.

  • Enable Public Access Block

    Why it's wrong here

    This only prevents public access; it does not authorize specific internal groups.

  • Enable S3 Versioning

    Why it's wrong here

    Versioning is for data recovery, not for access control.
