Problem
Enterprises face growing complexity and risk in protecting personal and sensitive data as it proliferates across numerous tools, cloud services, SaaS applications, and developer pipelines. Manual classification and alerting lead to high false‑positive rates, alert fatigue, and missed exposures.
Solution
Teleskope offers an API‑first classification‑as‑a‑service that automatically discovers, classifies, and contextualizes sensitive data at scale. Its multi‑model engine processes up to 40,000 bytes per second on a single GPU, delivering 99.3% accuracy across more than 150 built‑in entity types, including PII, PCI, PHI, secrets, and other regulated data. The service integrates directly into SDLC workflows, data pipelines, and cloud/SaaS platforms, enabling “shift‑left” security that protects data before it reaches production. Users can extend the model with custom entity definitions and automate remediation actions, reducing manual overhead and alert fatigue while maintaining compliance.
Target Audience
Primary customers are security and compliance teams, as well as software engineering groups in mid‑size to large enterprises that need automated data discovery and protection across cloud, SaaS, and on‑premises environments.
