According to the report, “Pathlock excels with both its broad and deep, specialized portfolio that supports both SAP and non-SAP environments.“
Pathlock, a leader in Identity and Access Governance, today announced it has been featured as an Overall Leader in the 2026 Leadership Compass for SAP Access Control and Security by KuppingerCole Analysts AG.
The Leadership Compass for SAP Access Control and Security is an independent analyst evaluation of technology vendors and products that help enterprises secure access, reduce risk, and ensure compliance across SAP environments. The study compares vendors using standardized criteria across three core dimensions: Product Leadership, Innovation Leadership, and Market Leadership. Vendors recognized as Leaders in all three categories are designated as Overall Leaders.
This year’s report expands its scope beyond traditional access governance and Segregation of Duties (SoD) controls to include SAP threat detection, system hardening, privileged access management, and audit support.
Pathlock was recognized as a Leader across Product, Innovation, and Market categories, earning the Overall Leader designation — the highest distinction in the report. The Leadership Compass notes that “the breadth and depth of Pathlock’s application coverage, combined with their strong interoperability and robust ecosystem support, reinforce their leadership status. Key areas such as AI-driven assurance and access governance frameworks contribute significantly to Pathlock’s esteemed position.”
“We are honored to be recognized by KuppingerCole in this respected industry report,” said Damon Tompkins, CEO, Pathlock. “Being named an Overall Leader reinforces our commitment to helping enterprises future-proof their governance programs and ensure security and compliance across SAP and non-SAP environments that support critical business processes.”
“There is a clear trend toward expanding SAP Security beyond traditional access controls,” said Martin Kuppinger, Principal Analyst, KuppingerCole Analysts AG. “Organizations are adapting to cloud-centric enterprise strategies that require more agile governance solutions built on dynamic, context-based controls. Pathlock offers nuanced control across both SAP and non-SAP applications, demonstrating strong capabilities not only in managing roles and authorization objects, but also in fine-grained transactional data analysis.”
