Teleskope, a cybersecurity startup that automates protection of sensitive personal data, has added data deletion to its data protection platform ensuring that when sensitive data is removed it is then deleted anywhere else that it is stored. This helps companies with compliance and especially managing sensitive personal data with the ‘right to be forgotten’.

The Teleskope data protection platform gives companies full control over the data being deleted and completely automates the process of finding sensitive data, classifying the data, and handling data subject rights requests – reducing time spent by 80% as compared with typical manual processes. Today, most security tools only provide alerts and visibility into security and privacy risk, leaving users questioning what to do with this information, and to manually take action. By comparison, the Teleskope platform actually automates remediation to help reduce risk and comply with privacy regulations.

The company has also added support for structured and unstructured data stores including Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, and Slack in addition to existing support across popular cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, and Snowflake, as well as third-party SaaS. The full list of supported data stores is here. Teleskope scans the data to identify more than 100 data types, including personal, payment, healthcare, and sensitive data.

Teleskope helps organizations comply with regulations like GDPR and CCPA while reducing the manual and operation burden on security, data, and engineering teams.
