THE TOTAL ECONOMIC IMPACT OF OKTA IDENTITY GOVERNANCE

COST SAVINGS AND BUSINESS BENEFITS ENABLED BY IDENTITY GOVERNANCE
Executive Summary
Organizations of all sizes need a proactive, policy-driven approach to effectively manage access and entitlements – balancing agility and scalability with control, oversight, and compliance in the face of growing security threats and regulatory pressure, such as SOX and PCI-DSS. Disparate systems and manual processes often create blind spots, delay access provisioning, and contribute to overentitled users and excessive reporting efforts. As identity environments grow in scale and complexity, organizations need governance solutions that integrate with core identity infrastructure to support both operational efficiency and risk reduction.
Okta Identity Governance( OIG), a cloud-based identity governance and administration( IGA) solution, integrates directly with identity infrastructure to centralize and automate access requests, certifications, entitlement reviews, policy enforcement, and reporting. By replacing manual workflows with event-driven automations and dynamic access logic, OIG helps organizations enforce leastprivilege access, accelerate provisioning and deprovisioning, and maintain compliance at scale – while minimizing administrative overhead and access risk.
Okta commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct a Total Economic Impact( TEI) study and examine the potential return on investment( ROI) enterprises may realize by deploying Okta Identity Governance. The purpose of this study is to provide readers with a framework to evaluate the potential financial impact of Okta Identity Governance on their organizations.
• Return on investment( ROI) 211 %
• Net present value $ 1.8M
To better understand the benefits, costs, and risks associated with this investment, Forrester interviewed eight decision-makers with experience using OIG. •
