Pathlock Achieves Recognition in 2025 Gartner Market Guide for Identity Governance

Pathlock Recognized in the 2025 Gartner Market Guide for Identity Governance and Administration

In a significant achievement for Pathlock, the company has been listed as a Representative Vendor in the 2025 Gartner® Market Guide for Identity Governance and Administration (IGA). This guide serves as a vital resource for Identity and Access Management (IAM) leaders, providing insights and recommendations for navigating the complexities of the IGA market effectively.

Gartner characterizes identity governance and administration as a comprehensive solution designed to manage the identity lifecycle and govern access to both on-premises and cloud environments. According to their analysis, the growth of the IGA market is noteworthy, with a reported increase of 9.2% from 2023 to 2024, projected to accelerate to 10.7% between 2024 and 2025.

This growth can be attributed primarily to the evolving needs of businesses for robust security measures and enhanced operational efficiency. As companies move beyond mere compliance, their focus shifts toward comprehensive IGA solutions that bolster business enablement and security risk management. This shift highlights a marked departure from previous practices that prioritized compliance as the sole reason for adopting IGA systems.

Moreover, organizations are increasingly realizing the necessity of multifaceted outcomes such as risk reduction, productivity enhancement, and compliance adherence, which necessitates an integrated approach to identity governance. As enterprises expand their IGA programs, they come to understand that achieving these objectives entails deploying full-spectrum functionality across their systems.

Pathlock positions itself at the forefront of this industry evolution with an identity security and application governance platform that addresses the demands of modern hybrid enterprises. Its innovative solutions automate compliant provisioning, conduct fine-grained segregation of duties (SoD) analyses, perform user access reviews, manage elevated access, and ensure continuous controls monitoring across intricate multi-application landscapes. The incorporation of artificial intelligence into the Pathlock platform enhances its capabilities, moving beyond traditional IGA offerings by delivering valuable risk insights and usage data.

This ensures that organizations can make informed, data-driven decisions to proactively mitigate potential security risks while simultaneously boosting operational efficiency. As Damon Tompkins, President of Pathlock, states, "We are proud to be recognized as a Representative Vendor in this essential Gartner guide. Pathlock effectively addresses the pressing need for enhanced identity security through risk-aware governance for business-critical applications. This empowers our clients to reduce risk, lower compliance costs, and maintain audit readiness, thus enabling them to confidently pursue IPOs and initiatives like digital transformation."

Further emphasizing the importance of their offerings, Piyush Pandey, CEO of Pathlock, articulated, "Organizations are seeking IGA solutions that stretch beyond mere compliance checks. They aspire for measurable enhancements in risk mitigation and operational efficacy. This recognition underscores Pathlock’s commitment to merging fine-grained identity security, usage insights, and continuous controls, allowing enterprises to govern access and manage risk effectively on a larger scale."
