TL;DR: IGA buyers now expect adoption, operational speed, and user experience to carry as much weight as policy coverage. Lumos was named a Strong Performer in Gartner Peer Insights’ 2026 Voice of the Customer for IGA, with a 4.7 out of 5.0 rating, 96% willingness to recommend, and 51 verified reviews that point to faster access workflows and lower manual effort.
NHIMG editorial — based on content published by Lumos: Lumos named a Strong Performer in the 2026 Gartner Peer Insights Voice of the Customer for IGA
By the numbers:
- Lumos earned a 4.7 out of 5.0 overall rating and a 96% willingness-to-recommend score based on 51 verified reviews.
- Only 20% have formal processes for offboarding and revoking API keys, and even fewer have procedures for rotating them.
- 96% of organisations store secrets outside of secrets managers in vulnerable locations including code, config files, and CI/CD tools.
Questions worth separating out
Q: How should organisations make IGA workflows usable without weakening control?
A: Design access request and review flows around completion, not just policy intent.
Q: Why do deployment and support outcomes matter in identity governance?
A: Because governance controls that are difficult to deploy or maintain often remain only partially in force.
Q: How can IAM teams govern human, NHI, and autonomous access in one programme?
A: Use one lifecycle governance model, but apply different enforcement rules by actor type.
Practitioner guidance
- Measure access workflow completion rates Track how many access requests and reviews are completed on time, rejected, or abandoned.
- Treat deployment friction as control risk Record where implementation slows rollout, fragments reporting, or leaves certain business units outside the operating model.
- Unify lifecycle governance across identity types Use one governance model for humans, service accounts, and AI-driven access, but enforce actor-specific rules for approval, ownership, review cadence, and offboarding.

IGA buyers are rewarding controls that users can actually complete, not just controls that exist in policy. The reviewer themes in this article point to a mature market correction: access governance is no longer judged by entitlement catalogues alone. When access request and review steps are simpler for end users and reviewers, completion rates rise and compliance evidence becomes more reliable. Practitioners should read this as a shift from policy-centric IGA to execution-centric IGA.
A few things that frame the scale:
- Only 20% have formal processes for offboarding and revoking API keys, and even fewer have procedures for rotating them, according to Ultimate Guide to NHIs.
- 91.6% of secrets remain valid five days after the targeted organisation is notified, showing a critical gap in remediation procedures.
A question worth separating out:
Q: What does high user satisfaction tell security leaders about IGA maturity?
A: It usually means the governance process is becoming usable enough to support repeatable operation. High satisfaction does not replace control validation, but it often correlates with higher completion rates, fewer workarounds, and better adoption across business units. That combination matters because access governance only works when people actually use it.
