What is SailPoint?
SailPoint is an identity governance and administration (IGA) vendor whose products include IdentityIQ, a self-hosted/on-prem platform, and Identity Security Cloud (formerly IdentityNow), its SaaS offering, both covering access certification, automated provisioning and separation-of-duties (SoD) policy enforcement. SailPoint has changed ownership structure twice in recent years: it went private in a 2022 Thoma Bravo buyout, then returned to public markets via an IPO on the NYSE in February 2025.
