This CCSP practice question tests your understanding of legal, risk and compliance. The scenario asks you to isolate a root cause — eliminate options that address a different problem before choosing. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
Refer to the exhibit. A company uses AWS Config to evaluate compliance with a rule that requires S3 buckets to enforce SSL. What should the administrator do next?
Enable SSL-only access on the bucket
Why wrong: The administrator does not know which bucket is non-compliant yet.
Disable the Config rule
Why wrong: Disabling the rule would remove visibility into compliance.
Update the rule to allow HTTP
Why wrong: Updating the rule would lower the security standard.
Check which bucket is non-compliant
The administrator must identify the non-compliant resource before taking action.
Answer choices
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
Check which bucket is non-compliant
The output shows the rule is non-compliant but does not identify which specific bucket(s). The logical next step is to check which resources are non-compliant. Enabling SSL-only access is a solution but first the administrator must identify the non-compliant bucket. Disabling the rule or updating it would not resolve the issue.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Answer analysis

Common exam traps
Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
Detailed technical explanation
This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
A security analyst at a medium-sized enterprise encounters this scenario during an investigation or architecture review. The correct answer reflects best practice for the specific threat or control described. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Security exam questions test whether you can match controls to threats in context — not just recall definitions.
