Definition: The Policy Enforcement Point ABB is a Technology Service that intercepts requests to a protected resource and enforces the access decision returned by a policy decision point, allowing or denying the request accordingly. Last modification: 2026-07-06 Identifier: http://data.europa.eu/dr8/PolicyEnforcementPoint LOST view: Technical view - infrastructure EIRA concept: eira:ArchitectureBuildingBlock ABB name: eira:PolicyEnforcementPoint Synonym: PEP Example: An API gateway plugin that checks a request's token scopes and attributes against policy before forwarding the request to a backend service. Interoperability Saliency: Salient for technical interoperability because it provides a consistent enforcement point pattern that decouples access-control logic from application code across distributed services.
