Why Read the Gartner® Market Guide for Identity Governance and Administration?
As organizations operate across hybrid environments, cloud applications, legacy systems, third-party platforms, and increasingly complex digital ecosystems, managing who has access to what—and why—has become more challenging. Organizations must continuously govern identities, entitlements, access requests, and lifecycle events while maintaining security, compliance, and operational efficiency.
The Gartner® Market Guide for Identity Governance and Administration provides valuable insights into the evolving Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) market, helping organizations understand key capabilities, emerging approaches, and considerations for evaluating IGA technologies that support effective identity lifecycle management, access governance, compliance, and risk reduction.
Bridgesoft helps organizations modernize Identity Governance and Administration with solutions designed to simplify complex identity environments, automate governance processes, and accelerate implementation:
- Automate Identity Lifecycle Management: Streamline joiner, mover, and leaver processes with automated provisioning, deprovisioning, access changes, and identity lifecycle workflows reducing manual effort and improving operational efficiency.
- Strengthen Access Governance and Visibility: Gain greater visibility into user identities, accounts, roles, entitlements, and access relationships across applications and enterprise systems. Help organizations identify inappropriate or excessive access and establish more consistent governance.
- Simplify Access Reviews and Compliance: Automate access certification and review processes while maintaining auditable records of access decisions. Support governance and compliance requirements with policy-driven workflows, centralized visibility, and continuous monitoring.
- Modernize Governance Across Hybrid Environments: Extend identity governance across cloud, on-premises, legacy, and SaaS applications without requiring organizations to replace existing infrastructure. Connect identity processes across complex technology environments.
- Accelerate IAM Implementation and Integration: Reduce the complexity and time associated with integrating IGA capabilities with existing enterprise applications and identity infrastructure through flexible integration and automation capabilities.
- Govern Human, Non-Human, and AI Identities: Extend identity governance beyond traditional workforce identities to address service accounts, machine identities, application identities, and emerging AI agents helping organizations establish appropriate ownership, access controls, and lifecycle governance.
