SailPoint Named Overall Leader in 2025 KuppingerCole CIEM Leadership Compass

By: via Business Wire

The report highlights SailPoint’s strengths in AI-driven entitlement governance, policy automation, and multi-cloud scalability

SailPoint, Inc., a leader in unified identity security for enterprises, today announced that it was named an Overall Leader, Product Leader, Innovation Leader, and Market Leader in the 2025 KuppingerCole Leadership Compass for Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM). The report evaluates CIEM vendors based on innovation, usability, and market presence. SailPoint’s recognition in multiple categories underscores the value of its enterprise-grade approach to entitlement governance in complex multi-cloud environments.

As many organizations struggle to manage and secure entitlements across sophisticated multi-cloud environments, CIEM solutions have become increasingly critical. By providing organizations with the necessary visibility, governance, and control to effectively manage cloud permissions, CIEM helps mitigate the risks associated with misconfigurations, overprovisioning, and other access-related challenges.

In addition to being named a Leader across all four categories, SailPoint received “Strong Positive” scores in Security, Deployment, and Interoperability, and “Positive” ratings in Functionality and Usability. These high results emphasize SailPoint’s enterprise readiness, technical flexibility, and usability across complex cloud environments.

The KuppingerCole report notes that SailPoint differentiates itself from competitors with embedded CIEM within the broader identity security framework, and calls out SailPoint’s ability to automate security and compliance enforcement across cloud environments, provide visibility into cloud identities and permissions across various environments, minimize privilege sprawl, and comply with SOX, HIPAA, GDPR, and PCI-DSS. The report also notes SailPoint’s use of AI-driven risk analytics to detect excessive permissions, privilege misuse, and entitlement anomalies.

SailPoint CIEM is designed to meet the needs of large, complex enterprises operating in multi-cloud environments. The company’s cloud-native architecture supports scalability across the enterprise, and by embedding CIEM within its identity security platform, it drives organizations to align entitlement governance with broader identity strategies. This approach helps enterprises automate access decisions, simplify compliance efforts, and reduce identity-related risk across their cloud ecosystems.

KuppingerCole’s evaluation further underscores SailPoint’s strengths in dashboard experience, policy and workflow management, platform customization, and IaaS support. These capabilities contribute to operational efficiency, policy enforcement, and usability at scale.

“This recognition from KuppingerCole validates the strength of our vision and the value SailPoint CIEM delivers to our customers,” said Chandra Gnanasambandam, Executive Vice President, Product and Chief Technology Officer, SailPoint. “This reflects our ongoing commitment to an identity-centric strategy, and we believe it indicates that the market is headed toward unified identity platforms capable of bringing identity governance and entitlement intelligence together. As our customers navigate increasingly fragmented and complex cloud environments, embedding CIEM directly into our identity platform enables them to make smarter, faster access decisions without slowing down the pace of innovation.”

This recognition follows SailPoint’s continued leadership in identity security, including past honors in KuppingerCole’s IGA and IAG Leadership Compass reports, further supporting its commitment to innovation and customer success.
