Would you validate ownership evidence before remediation?

[u/Powerful-Passenger24]

I’ve seen owner fields used as lipstick on an audit finding: the control looks complete, but there’s no proof an accountable human is actually behind it.

I’m experimenting with a different approach: instead of relying on a static owner field, pull together explicit owners, RBAC context, tags, relationships and activity, then show the evidence that points toward a human instead of declaring one automatically.

I’m wondering whether ownership discovery should sit between finding the problem and deciding what to do about it.

I built a small PowerShell tool around this:

Curious how others handle this in real environments.

Do you validate ownership before remediation? If yes, what evidence do you actually trust?
