350-701 Practice Question: Secure Network Access, Visibility and Enforcement
A company is deploying Cisco ISE for network access control. Which three policies must be configured to enforce access based on device posture? (Choose three)
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the misconception that Profiling policy (E) is involved in posture enforcement, but profiling only identifies the device type and does not evaluate security compliance or trigger remediation.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Authorization policy
Authorization policy (A) is correct because it defines the final access permissions (e.g., permit, deny, VLAN assignment, ACL) based on the posture assessment results. After the endpoint's posture is evaluated, the authorization policy uses conditions like 'PostureStatus: Compliant' or 'PostureStatus: NonCompliant' to enforce network access control. Without an authorization policy, the posture check result would have no effect on actual network access.
