Overview
SailPoint is an identity security and identity governance platform that helps enterprises manage, govern, and secure access for every worker, application, system, and increasingly AI agent. Its cloud SaaS offering, Identity Security Cloud (formerly IdentityNow), automates access certifications, joiner-mover-leaver provisioning, role management, and segregation-of-duties compliance across on-prem and cloud applications. SailPoint also sells IdentityIQ, a self-hosted/on-premises version for organizations needing deep customization.
The problem SailPoint solves
Enterprises with large, complex application portfolios struggle to manually track who has access to what, enforce segregation-of-duties policies, and produce audit-ready evidence for compliance reviews. SailPoint automates identity lifecycle management, access certifications, and SoD enforcement across a broad connector ecosystem, which is why it's best suited to large and regulated mid-market organizations — though its cost and configuration complexity make it a poor fit for smaller, budget-constrained teams.
