NAP

NDS Augmentation Package.

A set of operating system components that can help protect access to a private network by enforcing health policies. System administrators establish health policies which NAP enforces by inspecting and assessing the health of client computers, restricting network access when client computers are deemed noncompliant, and remediating noncompliant client computers for full network access. NAP also provides ongoing health compliance enforcement while a client computer is connected to a network.

Network Access Point. Traditionally the point at which an entity connects to the public Internet; but the term generically applies to any point of entry to a WAN.
