TL;DR: Nexis says public Gartner Peer Insights data places its IGA presence at #2 in Insurance and Manufacturing in EMEA and #5 in Telecommunications as of 7 April 2026, pointing to demand for explainable access intelligence in regulated, heterogeneous identity estates. Visibility and decision support, not workflow alone, are becoming the differentiators in complex governance programmes.
Editorial analysis by NHI Mgmt Group, based on content published by Nexis: “NEXIS in EMEA: What Gartner Peer Insights™ Industry Data Reveals”.
Key questions
Q: How should IGA teams handle access governance in complex hybrid estates?
A: Teams should treat hybrid estates as an evidence problem as much as a workflow problem.
Q: Why do regulated industries need more than provisioning and certification in IGA?
A: Because provisioning and certification answer only part of the governance question.
Q: What breaks when identity governance only reviews access after it is granted?
A: Access drift becomes invisible between review cycles, which means over-privileged accounts can keep operating long after the business reason for access has changed.
Practitioner guidance
- Map governance blind spots across hybrid estates Identify where entitlement context is lost between directories, SaaS applications, legacy platforms, and delegated admin paths.
- Rebuild access review inputs around explainable relationships Make sure reviewers see identities, entitlements, roles, and risk context together rather than as separate extracts.
- Test whether role design can survive audit questions Ask whether a role can be traced back to a business purpose, a system owner, and a review path without manual reconstruction.
Bottom line: Complex EMEA sectors make identity governance harder because access must remain explainable across legacy, cloud, and delegated systems.

Peer data is a governance signal, not a performance verdict: Public industry listings can help practitioners see where IGA capabilities are being evaluated in environments with real governance pressure. Insurance, manufacturing, and telecommunications are not interesting because they are fashionable sectors, but because they are the places where entitlement sprawl, auditability, and explainable access decisions become operationally expensive. The practitioner takeaway is to read peer visibility as evidence of fit for complex governance conditions, not as a proxy for universal product quality.
A few things that frame the scale:
- Only 5.7% of organisations have full visibility into their service accounts, according to the Ultimate Guide to NHIs.
- Nearly 60% of IT leaders cite restrictive cost and complexity as a weakness of legacy identity governance, according to the 2025 State of Identity Governance Report.
A question worth separating out:
Q: What does explainable access intelligence add to IGA programmes?
A: It adds the ability to present access in context, not as isolated records. That means tying identities to entitlements, roles, risks, and governance relationships so security teams and business owners can make decisions faster and with better evidence. In complex environments, that context is what makes the control usable.
