Morphology
NAC = Network Access Control (opaque) = N + A + C
The initialism maps to a multiword technical term; the letters alone do not allow inferring the meaning.
Etymology
NAC stands for Network, Access, Control, literally 'Network Access Control'. A helpful image is a security guard at a door checking devices before they enter, which is why NAC means a system that controls which devices can join a network.
