A method for enforcing the security policies of a network includes determining if a client requesting access to the network is in compliance with a current version of the security policies required to gain access to the network, and if the requesting client is not in compliance with a current version of the security policies, denying the client access to the network and making accessible to the non-compliant client a current version of the security policies. In various embodiments of the present invention an access gateway is implemented to enforce the security policies of the network, which includes isolating non-compliant clients from the network and the network resources. In a system in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention an access gateway directs a non-compliant client requesting access to the network to a remote server for downloading a current version of the security policies of the network.
