TL;DR: AI and ML, low-code workflows, and faster connector build-out can reduce IGA implementation time by months or years while lowering total cost of ownership and preserving core governance functions, according to Netwrix. The real shift is not speed alone, but whether identity teams can modernise governance without trading away separation of duties, adaptability, or control.
NHIMG editorial — here’s why we think this discussion matters
Questions worth separating out
Q: How should teams reduce IGA implementation time without weakening governance?
A: Teams should reduce implementation time by standardising the access model, using flexible workflows, and limiting custom code that must be maintained over time.
Q: Why do traditional IGA projects become slow and expensive?
A: Traditional IGA projects become slow and expensive because they often depend on rigid data models, repeated custom development, and consultant-heavy connector work.
Practitioner guidance
- Map governance bottlenecks before re-platforming IGA Identify where approval delays, recertification backlog, and custom workflow workarounds are slowing identity governance today.
- Test connector coverage against high-risk systems first Validate whether the platform can reach the systems that actually hold conflicting entitlements, not just the easiest applications to connect.
- Review how automation influences access decisions Document which recommendations are generated by AI or ML, which remain human-approved, and how exceptions are handled.
What to expect at the briefing
Netwrix's full webinar covers the operational detail this post intentionally leaves for the source:
- How the low-code, no-code model is used to reduce implementation effort in practice
- Examples of connector build-out patterns that avoid consultant-heavy delivery
- The way AI and ML are used to tune access controls over time
- Why separation of duties remains part of the implementation conversation

Faster IGA is really a governance model problem, not a deployment problem. The operational pain in identity programmes usually comes from the mismatch between business change and the rigidity of the control layer. When workflows cannot adapt, teams defer reviews, delay provisioning changes, and accept exceptions that erode policy. The practical conclusion is that implementation speed only matters if governance remains usable after go-live.
A few things that frame the scale:
- 97% of NHIs carry excessive privileges, increasing unauthorised access and broadening the attack surface, according to Ultimate Guide to NHIs.
- Only 5.7% of organisations have full visibility into their service accounts, which shows why governance tools often lag the real entitlement surface.
A question worth separating out:
Q: What should organisations review before relying on low-code IGA workflows?
A: Organisations should review whether low-code workflows still preserve segregation of duties, approval integrity, and auditability across the systems that matter most. If the platform makes changes easy but hides how decisions are made, the organisation may gain speed while losing governance clarity.
