    • Policy as Code Engine (PaCE) is a generic framework that enables users and application services to define and use policies. These policies are a set of pre-defined rules that determine the behavior of that application or service. When invoked, the rules in the policy are applied to the provided input, and a decision is reached. This decision-making is the main function of PaCE and determines if a policy is compliant or non-compliant. The decision is then relayed to the application or service so that it can act upon it to enforce a required behavior. PaCEcan be used to:
      • Identify posture drifts from a desired state in the current application.
      • To make decisions (compliant or non-compliant) based on a change in the application or service and enforce the decision to prevent drift.
      • Automate execution of policies and eliminate dependency on humans.
      • Standardize policies to be shared and reused within a service and across services.
      • Increase change velocity while including guardrails with automated workflows and in the DevOps CI/CD pipeline.
      • Collect evidence and proof of compliance. The rich audit capabilities allow internal auditors to collect evidence for governance and risk requirements.
