Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Center for Internet Security (CIS) benchmarks for Docker, Kubernetes, and host operating systems.
Why this is correct
CIS benchmarks are core compliance standards evaluated by Prisma Cloud.
- ✓
Custom compliance checks defined by organization-specific rules and scripts.
Why this is correct
Administrators can create custom compliance checks.
- ✓
Docker security configuration best practices (e.g., checking for privileged mode, running as root).
Why this is correct
Docker configuration best practices are evaluated under compliance policies.
- ✗
AWS IAM policy wildcard permissions and multi-factor authentication enforcement.
Why it's wrong here
IAM and MFA policies are evaluated by Prisma Cloud CSPM, not Compute compliance checks.
- ✗
GitHub repository branch protection rule enforcement and pull request approvals.
Why it's wrong here
GitHub branch rules are managed via developer tools and code security posture management.
