One Identity and READI alliance targets the ungoverned apps that IGA tools miss

New Technology Alliance extends One Identity’s IGA governance to legacy, on-premises, and specialized systems, with no scripting and no API required.

FL, UNITED STATES, October 23, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Cork, Ireland — October 23, 2026 — One Identity and READI today unveiled a technology alliance aimed at closing the “last mile” of identity governance. Through the partnership, joint customers can bring their most difficult-to-connect applications—legacy, terminal, and specialized systems that IGA programs often leave out of scope—under full governance without writing custom code.

That last mile is precisely where risk tends to accumulate. Most enterprises only govern a fraction of their critical applications through their IGA platform; the rest are managed via spreadsheets, service-desk tickets, or not at all. Every ungoverned system represents a blind spot—an account that should have been deprovisioned, an access grant no one certified, an audit finding waiting to happen.

The alliance pairs the One Identity unified identity governance suite, which spans Identity Governance and Administration, Privileged Access Management, and Active Directory Management and Security, with READI’s Smart Connector technology. Where standard connectors stop, READI’s AI computer-vision engine takes over: it operates web, Win32, terminal, mainframe, and cloud applications the way a person would, then automates provisioning, deprovisioning, certification, and remediation across them.

For joint customers, this means one governed estate instead of two. Disconnected systems come under the same provisioning, certification, and audit reporting as everything else—no scripting, no rip-and-replace.

“Enterprise identity programs have made major investments in governance, but the last mile is where risk and inefficiency hide. Legacy systems and manual edge cases are exactly what traditional IGA tools can’t reach. Adding READI’s automation gives customers a way to close that gap without ripping out what already works.”

— Larry Chinski, Global Vice President of Enterprise Strategy, One Identity

“Our mutual partners now have a formally supported joint offering — and a validated answer to the connectivity gap that has scoped down too many identity programs for too long. The consultancies and integrators already working across both ecosystems can bring this to clients with confidence.”

— Mike Gray, VP of Sales & Alliances, READI

The integration is available to joint customers through both companies’ existing partner programs. The companies will also pursue joint integration work, shared go-to-market initiatives, and co-branded resources. Additional technical details will follow in the coming weeks.

Most IGA programs miss the apps without connectors. See how READI Smart Connector brings disconnected applications into governance, no RPA required.

Why it matters: This partnership directly addresses a long-standing gap in identity governance, where manual processes and ungoverned systems have left enterprises exposed to audit failures and security risks. By extending governance to applications that traditional connectors can’t reach, joint customers can now achieve a more complete and compliant identity posture without overhauling their existing infrastructure.
