Quick answer
What is Identity Governance / IGA?
Short answer
IGA platforms answer "who has access to what, and should they?" through access reviews, segregation-of-duties controls, role mining, and policy-driven lifecycle.
- Best for
- Compliance-driven orgs (SOX, ISO, HIPAA), regulated industries, and any enterprise that needs auditable access certifications.
- When to choose
- Compare connector coverage, review UX for managers, role mining quality, and time-to-value. Many programs stall on connector gaps.
- When not to choose
- Skip Identity Governance / IGA tooling if a broader IAM platform already covers your needs and you don't have category-specific requirements.
