Simplified User Identity Lifecycle Management

When employees switch roles or move on from the organization, IGA makes it easy to update or remove access rights. This way, user identities, devices, and IT resources are managed securely and efficiently, all thanks to automation and centralized control.

Enhanced security and compliance

IGA centralizes access approvals and monitors access activities to detect and prevent unauthorized access attempts. This way, it not only reduces security risks but also helps organizations easily meet regulatory standards with regular reviews and detailed reports.

Increased productivity and scalability

By automating workflows and enabling secure remote access, IGA allows employees to work efficiently from wherever they are. Its centralized control and flexibility also support scalability by cutting down on manual tasks and maintaining security as the organization grows.

IGAIGA ensures the right people have the right access when they need it, without slowing the organization down. It's crucial in maintaining security, compliance, and flexibility. 

Why does my organization need IGA?


Unmanaged access creep
As employees change roles, they may accumulate unnecessary permissions, increasing the risk of security breaches. IGA helps by updating access as roles change, keeping everything secure and in order.

Manual, time-consuming processes
Manually managing user access requests and approvals can slow down operations and increase the likelihood of errors. IGA automates these tasks, saving time and reducing human error.

Difficulty in meeting compliance requirements
Keeping track of who has access to what and maintaining accurate audit logs can be overwhelming. IGA simplifies compliance by providing clear reports and ensuring that access is properly managed and documented.

Identity Governance & Administration

How is IGA different from IAM?

Identity Governance & Administration is an important sub-category of Identity and Access Management (IAM), offering capabilities that go beyond standard IAM functionality to address some of its most persistent challenges.

IGA enhances IAM by automating workflows for access approvals, enforcing consistent policies, and providing robust audit trails for compliance reporting. This added layer of control is why many organizations turn to IGA to meet the specific compliance requirements of GDPR, NIS2, DORA, and other regulations, giving them the oversight needed to reduce risk and maintain strong security standards.
