Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Navigate to Governance > Compliance, select the ISO 27001 standard, and click 'Download Report' or schedule recurring report generation.
Why this is correct
Prisma Cloud allows users to export and schedule compliance reports directly from the Compliance framework views.
- ✗
Navigate to Settings > Reports and run a CSV export of all cloud resource tags.
Why it's wrong here
A resource tag export does not contain compliance framework status or historical trend data.
- ✗
Navigate to Investigate and run an RQL query filtering by timestamp and compliance status.
Why it's wrong here
While RQL can investigate current alerts, scheduled reporting of compliance frameworks is handled in the Compliance module.
- ✗
Navigate to Compute > Reports > Executive Summary.
Why it's wrong here
Compute reports focus on vulnerabilities and compliance within container workloads, not CSPM frameworks.
