Correct answer: Enable AWS Config organization-wide, create an SNS topic in the delegated administrator account and subscribe SecOps’ email, then deploy a conformance pack that includes the s3-bucket-level-public-access-prohibited managed rule in each account and use an SSM document to publish to the SNS topic when violations occur..
Why this is the answer
The correct solution leverages AWS Config organization-wide, which allows central management and monitoring of resource compliance across all member accounts without requiring changes within those accounts. The s3-bucket-level-public-access-prohibited managed rule directly addresses the requirement to detect disabled S3 Block Public Access. A conformance pack ensures consistent deployment of this rule. An SSM document can then be used to publish violations to a centralized SNS topic in the delegated administrator account, ensuring SecOps receives notifications and preventing member accounts from disabling this critical monitoring. Incorrect options: GuardDuty focuses on threat detection, not configuration compliance for S3 Block Public Access. Deploying a CloudFormation StackSet directly into member accounts for notifications could be circumvented by those accounts, violating the "prevent member accounts from disabling the notification" requirement. Amazon Inspector focuses on vulnerability management and security findings, not specifically S3 Block Public Access configuration compliance.
