Based on aggregated, anonymized 2025 platform data from real production identity governance environments across financial services, healthcare, consumer platforms, infrastructure providers, and large enterprises, the report shows how security teams are adapting:
High-velocity access grants and revocations handled as a steady operational rhythm, not exceptions
98% of access requests automated, enforced through policy rather than manual approval
21,000 identities governed per organization at the median, spanning users, services, and systems
90% of access review tasks completed in under five days, even during large compliance campaigns
The data captures identity’s evolution from a periodic compliance exercise into an always-on control plane – one designed to enforce access continuously while humans focus on oversight, risk, and exceptions.
