To restrict access to S3 buckets so that only IAM principals from within the AWS Organization can access them, an SCP (Service Control Policy) with conditions using the aws:PrincipalAccount or preferably aws:PrincipalOrgID can be applied at the OU level.

SCPs restrict the maximum permissions for IAM entities in member accounts and can be used to enforce access control policies across accounts.

The aws:PrincipalAccount condition restricts access to principals from specific accounts, while aws:PrincipalOrgID restricts based on the organization ID.

IAM permissions boundaries (Option B) cannot be applied organization-wide and do not enforce restrictions across accounts.

AWS RAM (Option C) is for sharing resources but does not restrict S3 bucket access based on organizational principals.

There is no such thing as an RCP in AWS Organizations (Option D is invalid).

In CodePipeline’s execution mode,

PARALLEL mode for pull_request pipelines ensures that multiple feature branches can be tested simultaneously for quick feedback.

QUEUED mode for main_branch ensures deployments run sequentially — each must finish before the next begins, preventing overlap. This configuration aligns with AWS CodePipeline best practices for trunk-based development and concurrent test pipelines.

The question focuses on detecting supply chain attacks that bypass CI/CD controls and result in malicious runtime behavior in the deployed serverless application. This requires runtime threat detection , not just static scanning or infrastructure validation.

Amazon GuardDuty is AWS’s managed threat detection service. GuardDuty now includes Lambda Protection , which analyzes Lambda function behavior, including network calls, IAM API usage, and other signals to detect compromised functions, crypto-mining, data exfiltration, and other malicious activity. GuardDuty automatically ingests CloudTrail, VPC Flow Logs (if enabled), and other telemetry without requiring code changes or agents. Findings are published and can be routed to Amazon EventBridge for near real-time notifications or automated remediation.

Option A (AWS WAF) only inspects HTTP requests to API Gateway and is focused on known bad patterns, not deeper behavioral anomalies. Option C (CloudFormation Guard) is focused on infrastructure-as-code validation in the pipeline, which explicitly does not help once malicious code is deployed. Option D (Network Firewall with Emerging Threats rules) protects VPC traffic, but serverless components like Lambda and API Gateway may not all traverse that firewall, and it is not targeted at function-level behavior.

Hence, enabling GuardDuty with Lambda Protection and using EventBridge notifications is the correct solution.
