Automated Access Reviews in Lnav: See the Truth in Minutes

A developer at a Fortune 500 company once found that 42% of the user accounts in their system hadn’t been touched in over a year. Nobody knew who still needed access. Nobody wanted to pull the trigger to disable accounts because the process was messy. This is what broken access reviews look like. And it’s exactly the kind of mess automated access reviews in Lnav can solve—without the politics, without the spreadsheets, without the wait.

Manual access reviews slow teams down. They depend on chasing signatures, double-checking old permissions, and hoping you don’t miss a critical escalation. The problem gets worse at scale. When thousands of accounts, roles, and entitlements are in motion, human checks alone can’t keep up. What does keep up is automated access reviews that plug directly into your Lnav environment.

Automated access reviews in Lnav ingest your identity data, read permissions in real time, and flag outliers instantly. They don’t wait for the quarterly audit cycle—they work continuously. Accounts that haven’t been used in 90 days? They surface them. Elevated privileges assigned to non-admin users? They call them out. Ghost accounts linked to offboarded employees? Gone.

This constant monitoring means you can enforce least privilege without drowning in admin work. Every decision is backed by accurate log data that Lnav already generates. You’re not just checking boxes for compliance—you’re cutting attack surfaces before they turn into incidents.

Security and compliance teams can set review triggers based on time, role changes, or suspicious activity. The system routes each review to the right owner automatically, and tracks their decision, so the audit trail builds itself. No more scattered email chains or forgotten follow-ups. Governance becomes predictable.

When automated access reviews are embedded into your Lnav workflow, you shift from reactive to proactive. You don’t wait for an auditor to find an issue. You see the truth in your systems every day, in real time. And you act on it before it becomes a security story you didn’t want told.

You can see this in action right now. Hoop.dev connects to your Lnav environment and automates access reviews end-to-end. No waiting for a pilot, no long integration cycles. Spin it up. Watch it work. See the truth in minutes.
