A worked example

Shown solved, with the whole explanation open: this is what every question here carries.

5-1Supporting compliance requirements

A public sector team is told to place its regulated workload behind an Assured Workloads control package. What does the package attach to?

The organization, covering every project below itThe whole organization is too coarse; regulated and ordinary work would share it.
A billing account shared by the workloadBilling structure has no bearing on where the controls apply.
Each project, one enrollment at a timePer-project enrollment would leave the boundary undefined between them.
A folder, covering the resources inside itCorrect · your answerCorrect. The container is what carries the guardrails.

Correct.

Concept

A compliance boundary needs a container that can be created, audited and destroyed as one unit. Attaching the controls to that container is what makes membership of the boundary an observable fact.

Why D

Creating an Assured Workloads folder for a control package makes the controls in that package define guardrails for all projects and resources within the folder, enforced through organization policy constraints and other features.

Source

When you create an Assured Workloads folder for a specific control package, the controls within the control package define guardrails for all projects and resources within the folder. These controls are enforced using organization policy constraints and other features.
