Pathlock Recognized in the 2025 Gartner® Market Guide for Identity Governance and Administration
According to Gartner, "This research helps IAM leaders navigate the IGA market and improve decision making."
DENVER, Oct. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Pathlock, a leader in governing and securing enterprise identity, applications, and data, announced today it has been included in the 2025 Gartner Market Guide for Identity Governance and Administration as a Representative Vendor.
The guide defines identity governance and administration (IGA) as "the solution to manage the identity life cycle and govern access across on-premises and cloud environments." Gartner notes "The IGA market worldwide grew 9.2% from 2023 to 2024, with forecast 2024 to 2025 growth of 10.7%, as of 2Q25. The IGA market's growth is increasingly driven by its critical role in business enablement and security risk management, beyond traditional compliance needs."
It also mentions, "The rise of security and business enablement as primary adoption drivers, overtaking compliance as the sole motivator. This is pushing the market toward more comprehensive IGA solutions and away from niche offerings. While regulatory compliance remains foundational, more organizations are now implementing IGA solutions to support broader security outcomes and business efficiency goals. This diversification in adoption drivers creates variability in the critical capabilities organizations prioritize. As enterprises mature in their IGA programs, they recognize that realizing multiple outcomes, risk reduction, productivity, and compliance, requires full-spectrum functionality."
Pathlock is an identity security and application governance platform designed to future-proof IGA for today's hybrid enterprises. It automates compliant provisioning, fine-grained segregation of duties (SoD) analysis, user access reviews, elevated access management, and continuous controls monitoring across complex multi-application landscapes – all empowered by AI. The Pathlock platform goes beyond traditional IGA by providing not just identity and access information, but also risk insights and usage data, helping organizations make data-driven decisions and proactively mitigate security risks, while improving efficiency.
" We're proud to be named a Representative Vendor in the 2025 Gartner Market Guide for Identity Governance and Administration. Pathlock addresses the need for stronger identity security with risk-aware fine-grained governance for business-critical applications, enabling organizations to reduce risk, lower compliance costs, and ensure audit readiness — so they can pursue IPOs and major initiatives such as digital transformation or M&A with confidence."
Damon Tompkins, President, Pathlock.
" Enterprises need IGA that goes beyond check-the-box compliance to deliver measurable risk reduction and operational efficiency. We believe this recognition validates Pathlock's vision: bring fine-grained identity security, usage insights, and continuous controls together so organizations can govern access and manage risk at scale."
Piyush Pandey, CEO, Pathlock.
