Pathlock says KuppingerCole named it Overall Leader in identity governance report

Pathlock said on Aug. 20 that KuppingerCole Analysts AG named it an Overall Leader in the 2026 Leadership Compass for Identity and Access Governance.

The company said the report is aimed at vendors that govern access across complex environments.

According to Pathlock’s release, the Leadership Compass evaluates vendors and products on access risk management, compliance, analytics, governance automation and policy-driven controls. Pathlock said the Overall Leader designation is the highest recognition in the report.

The release quoted Nitish Deshpande, a senior analyst at KuppingerCole Analysts AG, as saying Pathlock was recognized as an Overall Leader and led the Product and Innovation categories. Deshpande also said Pathlock is well suited for organizations seeking ERP-centric governance, integrated Segregation of Duties controls, continuous compliance monitoring and policy-driven access governance across workforce, privileged, partner and non-human identities.

Pathlock said its platform is aimed at secure, auditable and compliant access governance for what it called the AI era. The company also described itself as a global leader in converged identity governance, ERP cross-application security and GRC controls automation for the agentic era, and said it is trusted by Global 2000 organizations running SAP, Oracle and Workday environments.

The release said access governance remains an important part of identity and access management because poorly governed access can create security, operational and compliance risks. It also said the report independently evaluates vendors and their products.

Pathlock said a free copy of the 2026 Leadership Compass for Identity and Access Governance is available on its website.
