IGA
IGA is the framework and technology for managing and governing user identities and their access across an enterprise — ensuring access is appropriate, compliant, and auditable throughout the identity lifecycle.
⚙️ How Does It Work?
IGA platforms automate provisioning and deprovisioning, enforce access policies, manage role definitions, conduct access certifications, and generate audit reports. They integrate with HR systems as the source of truth.
📍 Where Is It Used?
Regulated industries requiring SOX, HIPAA, or PCI-DSS compliance; large enterprises managing thousands of users and applications.
💡 Real-World Example
A healthcare provider uses SailPoint to automatically provision access when a nurse joins, run quarterly access reviews where department heads certify entitlements, and instantly revoke all access when she leaves — with a full audit trail.
