What is IGA?
Identity Governance and Administration addresses the operational and compliance challenges of managing who has access to what across a large, complex organization. IGA platforms automate the provisioning and deprovisioning of user accounts, enforce separation of duties policies, run access certification campaigns that require managers to periodically review and approve their team’s access rights, and provide detailed audit trails for regulatory reporting. Without IGA, organizations often struggle with access sprawl where users accumulate permissions over time that they no longer need creating both security risks and compliance gaps. Platforms like SailPoint IdentityNow are purpose-built to manage identity governance at enterprise scale.
