What is IGA?

Identity governance and administration (IGA) combines identity governance, deciding who should have access and why, with identity administration: the provisioning, deprovisioning, and lifecycle automation that puts those decisions into effect. Most organizations still run identity and data security as separate efforts. Only 29.9% describe the two as fully unified under one strategy with shared visibility; 51.7% coordinate through separate tools and teams, and 18.5% remain siloed (2026 Netwrix Identity and Data Security Convergence Survey).

The problem

Managing human and non-human identities across hybrid environments strains IT, creates governance gaps, and complicates compliance

Manual provisioning

43.4% of organizations provision access using role templates expanded as needed, and 16.8% simply copy access from a similar user rather than a defined role, according to the 2026 Data and Identity Security Report.

Excessive privileges

Over-provisioned accounts and unchecked admin rights create risk and compliance challenges.

Orphaned accounts

Dormant and orphaned accounts remain active unnoticed, creating hidden entry points for attackers.

Fragmented systems

Disconnected identity systems reduce visibility and make it hard to enforce consistent access policies.

Use cases

Secure identities across your entire enterprise with a leading identity management tool

Group lifecycle management

Automate group creation, updates, and access control to reduce manual work, prevent unnecessary access buildup, and keep directories organized.

Access request delegation

Automate and delegate access requests with self-service and approval workflows to reduce IT workload, lower errors, and speed up access delivery.

Access rights certification

Regularly review and certify user access rights to eliminate excessive permissions, reduce risk, and simplify audit preparation.

Risk detection and analysis

Continuously detect risks like conflicting entitlements, SoD violations, and dormant accounts. Apply policy-based controls to prevent escalation.

Our solution

Secure the full identity lifecycle, from start to finish

The Netwrix Identity Management solution automates and secures every stage of the identity lifecycle across hybrid environments. Simplify onboarding and offboarding with policy-based workflows, manage groups and entitlements with RBAC and machine learning–based role mining, enforce strong password policies, and govern non-human identities (NHIs) alongside human accounts. Detect risks such as excessive permissions, SoD conflicts, and dormant accounts, while streamlining certifications and compliance reporting. The result: least privilege by default, reduced IT workload, and continuous audit readiness.
