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.
