IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Digital Identity Services 2026 Vendor Assessment

This IDC MarketScape study represents a vendor assessment of the Worldwide Digital Identity Services 2026 services market using the IDC MarketScape model. This excerpt is a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the characteristics that explain a vendor’s success in the marketplace and help anticipate its ascendancy. For the purposes of this analysis, IDC divided potential key measures for success into two primary categories: capabilities and strategies. This is the first time IDC MarketScape has assessed this market globally and Deloitte has been recognized as a Leader.

“As organizations navigate the rise of AI agents and non-human identities across increasingly complex enterprise environments, digital identity has become an important foundation for cyber resilience," says Ayan Chatterjee, Deloitte Global Cyber leader. "Through Deloitte’s Cyber AIO model, combined with its depth of industry knowledge and multidisciplinary teams, Deloitte helps organizations create robust digital identity strategies tailored to their needs, while also strengthening security and governance to help enable better business outcomes.”

The IDC MarketScape noted, “Deloitte’s Managed Digital Identity solutions are delivered through an Advise-Implement-Operate (AIO) lifecycle, enabling clients to approach digital identity strategically while ensuring practical deployment and ongoing management. The company offers an out-of-the-box digital identity security stack to accelerate onboarding and leverages automation to reduce time-to-value."

“With the adoption of AI, organizations need an identity approach that connects governance, access, and monitoring across human, machine, and AI agent identities,” says Alex Bolante, managing director, Deloitte & Touche LLP. “By combining deep identity experience with intelligent automation and Agentic AI, Deloitte helps clients modernize identity operations, strengthen oversight, and manage identity risk at scale.”
