Endpoint Security entitlement for internal distribution

My company is developing internal security software to deploy exclusively on corporate Mac endpoints. We are using the Endpoint Security framework, which requires the restricted com.apple.developer.endpoint-security.client entitlement. We were granted development access to this entitlement, but we have been denied distribution access. It's not practical to use ad-hoc provisioning for distributing the app internally to our users. Unfortunately the brief denial message did not provide any advice for a path forward.

If my company signed up for the Apple Developer Enterprise Program (https://developer.apple.com/programs/enterprise/), is it possible to grant the Endpoint Security entitlement for internal enterprise distribution? Otherwise, we appear to be stuck and unable to use Endpoint Security for our internal applications.

Enterprise distribution isn’t a thing on macOS. The nearest equivalent is direct distribution using Developer ID, but you’ve already been denied that.
