In this report, we evaluate Saviynt’s product innovations announced at RSA Conference (RSAC) 2025, particularly focusing on its AI-powered Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM) capabilities. Saviynt’s product launch builds on its identity cloud platform by introducing features designed to provide real-time visibility into identity posture, risk signals, and governance maturity. Core capabilities include auto-generating role descriptions, identifying orphaned accounts, and improving ownership clarity of service identities, addressing long-standing challenges in identity data hygiene. A key strength is the platform’s application-owner-centric approach, which enables business teams to directly access and analyze access control and usage data. Built upon a zero-trust-aligned architecture, the offering leverages an AI-enabled data lake to enforce continuous verification principles. Despite these enhancements, the launch reveals some gaps that enterprises may need to explore further. These include limited disclosure around integration with broader security ecosystems, such as security information and event management and threat intelligence platforms, a lack of clarity around pricing/licensing models, and insufficient transparency into the AI algorithms used. Saviynt’s ISPM solution, while promising in its conceptual direction, will benefit from better articulation of deployment strategies and industry-aligned use cases.

Cybersecurity and Identity and Access Management (IAM) have become indispensable components in the contemporary digital enterprise landscape. As organizations navigate an increasingly complex and interconnected digital ecosystem, the challenges of safeguarding sensitive data, mitigating cybersecurity threats, and managing user identities with precision have grown exponentially. Cybersecurity acts as the frontline defense against a myriad of evolving threats, encompassing everything from malicious cyberattacks to data breaches. Simultaneously, IAM plays a vital role in ensuring secure and efficient access to digital resources, emphasizing the need for precise identity verification and comprehensive access controls. This dynamic and crucial synergy between cybersecurity and IAM is integral to organizations fortifying themselves against the ever-evolving cyber threat landscape, making them resilient, adaptive, and capable of safeguarding both their assets and user identities in an interconnected digital environment.

The demand for Identity and Access Management (IAM) services in the global business landscape is accelerating due to digital transformation trends, the importance of data protection, and the complexities of managing IT environments. The need for effective IAM solutions has intensified with the implementation of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policies, cloud-based services, and the ongoing cyber threats. To address the shortage of in-house IAM expertise, companies are adopting external IAM services. This allows organizations to reduce CAPEX and OPEX associated with maintaining an internal IAM team while ensuring efficient and secure management of digital identities. Additionally, as governments worldwide enforce stricter data protection and security regulations, enterprises face pressure to comply with these regulations and adhere to localized data privacy laws. Examples include Europe’s GDPR, California’s CCPA, and Brazil’s LGPD, reflecting the evolving regulatory landscape. Consequently, global enterprises are seeking providers capable of delivering sophisticated, adaptable, and globally compliant IAM services. Key areas of interest include user authentication and authorization, centralized IAM operations, integration of IT/OT IAM services, and regulatory compliance assessments. In this report, we present a comprehensive analysis of 21 global IAM service providers as featured on the IAM Services PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2023. The research will help buyers select the right-fit provider for their needs, while providers will be able to benchmark themselves against each other.
