cidaas recognized as a leading B2B IAM platform

cidaas, the modern identity platform from the Widas Group, has been recognized in the Leadership Compass CIAM 2026 by KuppingerCole Analysts not only as an Overall, Product, and Innovation Leader for Customer Identity & Access Management (CIAM), as well as for its strong capabilities in Enterprise and B2B Identity & Access Management (IAM).

While cidaas has set benchmarks in the CIAM space for years, the demand for B2B IAM functionality is growing rapidly, especially among global companies and software providers seeking to unify identity, security, and access for employees, partners, and customers within a single system. As an all-in-one identity platform, cidaas delivers not only CIAM capabilities but also a full-featured IAM suite for internal and external user groups.

Unified IAM platform for enterprises and partner networks

cidaas combines core IAM features, including Single Sign-On (SSO), passwordless authentication, multi-factor authentication (MFA), group and role management, and fine-grained access controls into a scalable solution for B2B use cases. This enables organizations to:

  • Ensure secure access for employees, partners, and machines using standards such as OAuth2, OIDC, or SAML
  • Leverage delegated administration and flexible group models to manage permissions by organizational unit, partner, or role
  • Implement cloud-based identity management that integrates seamlessly with existing applications, legacy systems, and SaaS stacks

This comprehensive IAM functionality is critical for companies that need to combine access security, compliance, and user convenience across multiple environments, platforms, and partner ecosystems, a typical scenario in B2B contexts.

Analysts praise cidaas for platform breadth and innovation

Recognition in the Leadership Compass 2026 B2B IAM underscores not only cidaas’ strengths but also the platform’s technological maturity and innovative capabilities. cidaas stands out for its balanced combination of product scope, market insight, and future-readiness, covering both IAM and CIAM requirements equally.
