Which Inform action involves tagging strategy and compliance?

• A. Map spending data to the business
• B. Define budgets and forecasts
• C. Set tag strategy and compliance
• D. Identify untagged (and untaggable) resources

Answer: (C)

Tagging strategy and compliance focuses on governance around tags: deciding which tags to use, how they should be applied, and how to enforce them across all resources. By setting the tag strategy, you define the required tags (such as cost center, project, environment), naming conventions, and ownership, so tagging is consistent everywhere. Compliance involves automated checks and controls to ensure resources receive the proper tags and stay tagged over time, with remediation for untagged or mis-tagged resources. This approach enables accurate cost allocation and accountability because costs can be allocated by the defined tags, and resources can be managed according to policy. It also supports policy enforcement and regulatory or security requirements by ensuring tagging practices align with organizational rules. The other actions focus on analyzing spending, planning budgets, or discovering untagged resources, rather than establishing or enforcing tagging rules themselves.
