NEW YORK -- November 12, 2026 -- Deloitte is one of five vendors named a Leader in the inaugural IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Digital Identity Services 2026 Vendor Assessment (Doc #US53011526, October 2026). IDC evaluated 17 vendors, so five Leaders is about 29% of the field and 12 vendors fall outside the Leader group, by FairsOnline's calculation.
The assessment is the first edition, so there is no earlier IDC ranking against which to measure Deloitte's placement.
IDC credits Deloitte's compliance expertise, global delivery and AI capabilities
IDC names three strengths for Deloitte. The first is audit, regulatory compliance and data protection, which IDC says matters most to clients in highly regulated sectors where identity controls must satisfy auditors and regulators. The second is a managed identity and access management (IAM) portfolio backed by a global operation with local and regional delivery centers. The third is AI capabilities for securing workforce, end-user, machine and non-human identities.
According to IDC, Deloitte can deliver across Identity Governance and Administration, Access Management and Privileged Access Management products.
Deloitte sells these services through its Advise-Implement-Operate (AIO) model, covering strategy, implementation and managed operations. Buyers can therefore source all three phases from one provider.
Deloitte Global Cyber leader Ayan Chatterjee says AI agents and non-human identities have made digital identity a foundation for cyber resilience. Alex Bolante, managing director at Deloitte & Touche LLP, says the firm combines identity experience with automation and agentic AI to help clients modernize identity operations.
The release does not name the other four Leaders or give IDC's scores.
