PaCE enables you to manage, administer, and audit policies from a centralized location.
A PaCE policy is a set of pre-defined rules and
logic that determines the desired behavior of an application or a service. When
invoked, the rules in the policy are applied on the provided input, and a decision
is reached. This decision-making is the main function of PaCE and helps determine if a policy is
compliant or non-compliant. The decision is then relayed to the software calling
service or application, so that it can act on it to enforce a desired behavior.  
PaCE provides the following capabilities:

* Full life cycle management of policies
* Policy reuse
* Audit and compliance
* Testing and validation of policies
* Central automation of compliance and regulatory processes
{#pace-understanding__ul_nfp_bwl_crb} PaCE can be used to:

* Identify posture drifts from a desired state in the current application.
* Make decisions (compliant or non-compliant) based on a change in the application or service and enforce the decision to prevent a drift.
* Automate execution of policies and eliminate dependency on humans.
* Standardize policies so that they can be shared and reused within a service and across services.
* Increase change velocity while including guardrails with automated workflows to provide preventive controls.
* Collect evidence and proof of compliance for audit purposes. This feature can be used by internal auditors to automate the process of collecting evidence for governance and risk requirements.
* Provide business context to PaCE policies by using control objectives to connect PaCE with the Integrated Risk Management and Policy and Compliance Management workspace.
{#pace-understanding__ul_mw4_4ml_prb} PaCE enables policy developers to view and
understand an existing policy, make and assess changes, and decide if a policy can
be used as a baseline for another policy. They can also use PaCE before debugging to understand how the
policy should work and why it is not working as expected.  
PaCE provides a centralized platform for storing, managing, and using policies. By using PaCE, policies can be:

* Well documented and all the requirements clearly defined.
* Reused across the organization.
* Tracked and new versions can be created when a policy is changed.
* Tested and validated before deployment.

Policies are also containers for all the elements that make up a policy. These
elements include meta-data related to the policy, the policy versions (including
policy scripts and inputs), mapping information, and policy execution history.

You can define any number of policies within PaCE.
