SafePaaS says Gartner named it a representative vendor in 2026 IGA guide
SafePaaS said the Gartner recognition reflects growing demand for identity governance tools that can cover employees, contractors, service accounts, workloads and AI agents.
SafePaaS said on Sept. 2 that Gartner named it a Representative Vendor in the 2026 Market Guide for Identity Governance and Administration. The Dallas-based company used the announcement to promote its identity governance platform for human and non-human identities, including AI agents.
The company said the recognition matters because organizations now manage a wider set of identities than before. In its release, SafePaaS said that environment includes employees, contractors, service accounts, workloads and autonomous AI agents that can access sensitive systems, data and business processes.
Why it matters
SafePaaS said many organizations still rely on legacy identity platforms built mainly to administer users and roles. The company positioned its platform as a way to extend oversight across cloud, software-as-a-service and on-premises applications.
According to the release, SafePaaS uses a federated identity architecture that connects sources of identities and entitlements. The company said that approach can improve identity visibility, access governance, regulatory compliance, risk management and transaction monitoring.
SafePaaS also said customers can accelerate onboarding of human and non-human identities and gain faster time to value and rapid return on investment. The release did not provide independent data to support those claims.
Context and background
The company framed the announcement around changes in identity security as more systems rely on machine identities and AI tools. SafePaaS said legacy identity governance and administration systems can take years to deploy across an enterprise.
It said its platform is intended to go beyond the point when access is granted by providing continuous governance and multi-layered guardrails for humans and AI agents. The company said this is meant to help organizations secure identities, control access, ensure compliance and reduce business risk.
What the company said
CEO Adil Khan said AI has “permanently changed the identity landscape,” according to the release. He said organizations need to know where AI agents operate, what they can access, who owns them and what actions they are taking.
The release did not include comment from Gartner.
What happens next
SafePaaS is using the Gartner mention as part of its pitch to organizations evaluating identity governance tools. The company did not announce a new product, pricing change or timetable in the release.
