Introducing the Teleskope Dashboard: Unlock Complete Data Visibility
Product
Sensitive data often spreads faster than most companies can track it, across data stores, SaaS tools, and users.
To secure it, you need to know where it is and what risks it carries, all in one place. That means having a unified, real-time view of what’s happening across your organization’s sensitive data footprint. This view helps answer crucial questions like:
- What are our most sensitive data assets?
- What data stores and third party tools are storing that data?
- What security risks is our data vulnerable to?
- How are we monitoring these risks and addressing them in order to reduce risk?
- How is our data risk profile improving over time?
We built the Teleskope Dashboard to deliver this visibility at scale.
By consolidating all information on your sensitive data, policy violations, and team responses into one place, Teleskope’s Dashboard replaces disconnected tools and static exports with real-time visibility. No more switching between systems or waiting on reports. Just a clear understanding of your data and where your team can address urgent data risk.
Meet the Teleskope Dashboard
The Teleskope Dashboard is your real-time data command center, bringing together your most critical insights into a single, high-level view. With it, your teams can discover where sensitive data lives, what data types are being stored, and how policy violations are handled across your environment.
Whether you’re preparing for a board update or triaging an incident, Teleskope’s Dashboard delivers the insights that support your most crucial data security actions. Upon login, platform administrators are now presented with the Dashboard by default.
From this view, they can instantly see data stores with the most sensitive information and security violations.
All insights are kept up to date automatically. There is no need to configure reports, request exports, or pull in data manually. This always-on visibility empowers your teams to catch when sensitive data appears in unexpected locations or when risk grows in previously low-risk areas.
Spot Risks Before They Become Incidents
Identifying data security risks across your ecosystem used to require checking each tool and integration one by one. Because internal tools and platforms (like Google Drive, Snowflake, RDS, and Zendesk) all have their own interfaces and blind spots, this was both a tedious and error-prone task. Teleskope’s Dashboard changes that with a unified view of where sensitive data lives across your entire environment.
Let’s say a FinTech company notices a sudden spike in PII stored in an outdated S3 bucket that is publicly accessible and should have been decommissioned. With the Dashboard, their security team can catch the anomaly at a glance, drill in to confirm the classification, and kick off automated redaction workflows — all without leaving the Teleskope platform.
That’s the power of starting from a complete map. It creates the foundation for action. Every insight can be traced, investigated, and remediated using our classification and access tools. Whether responding to an incident or working to prevent one, the Dashboard provides the context needed to quickly identify and prioritize risks.
Track Policy Violations and Responses Over Time
The Teleskope Dashboard flags policy violations from the Policy Maker in real time, giving your security team the information needed to investigate and remediate issues as they appear. It builds on that foundation by displaying these violations in a time-series format, making it easy to monitor how risk exposure and response evolve over time with Teleskope’s built-in enforcement.
This visibility helps teams quantify progress, spot recurring issues, and understand where additional safeguards or policy updates may be needed. For example, if a particular data store consistently generates the same type of violation, it may point to a gap in enforcement or a need for new controls.
By surfacing these trends in a single view, the Dashboard helps security leaders move beyond alert-by-alert triage and take a more strategic approach to data risk.
Build Trust Through Trendlines, Not Anecdotes
Teleskope’s Dashboard also supports security leaders in high-stakes conversations, such as board updates, audit preparations, and executive reviews. With clear, credible metrics that show how data is being managed, they can effortlessly demonstrate how the organization’s risk posture is evolving.
Many Teleskope customers are using the Dashboard to prepare quarterly updates for their executive team. Instead of pulling disconnected metrics from multiple tools, they walk in with a single view that shows where sensitive data lives, how risks are trending, and how quickly issues are being resolved. The result? A shift from gut feel to grounded insight.
For leaders who need to translate security work into business outcomes, our Dashboard provides a way to do just that: clearly, consistently, and with credibility.
What’s Next: Deeper Dashboards by Data Store
Moving forward, our team will continue expanding our reporting and visibility features, starting with dashboard modules tailored to specific data stores. These dashboard modules will reflect how each data store handles information, from how files are shared and accessed to the types of sensitive information commonly stored there. This means you will be able to zero in on the most relevant risks faster.
Whether you’re trying to stop unauthorized data transfers, tighten permissions, or eliminate PII from certain places in your environment, Teleskope’s visibility is where it starts.
The Dashboard is now available to all Teleskope customers. Start using Teleskope now to explore your new feature!

Introduction
Kyte unlocks the freedom to go places by delivering cars for any trip longer than a rideshare. As part of its goal to re-invent the car rental experience Kyte collects sensitive customer data, including driver’s licenses, delivery and return locations, and payments information. As Kyte continues to expand its customer base and implement new technologies to streamline operations, the challenge of ensuring data security becomes more intricate. Data is distributed across both internal cloud hosting as well as third party systems, making compliance with privacy regulations and data security paramount. Kyte initially attempted to address data labeling and customer data deletion manually, but this quickly became an untenable solution that could not scale with their business. Building such solutions in-house didn’t make sense either, as they would require constant updates to accommodate growing data volumes which would distract their engineers from their primary focus of transforming the rental car experience.

Continuous Data Discovery and Classification
In order to protect sensitive information, you first need to understand it, so one of Kyte’s primary objectives was to continuously discover and classify their data at scale. To meet this need, Teleskope deployed a single-tenant environment for Kyte, and integrated their third-party saas providers and multiple AWS accounts. Teleskope discovered and crawled Kyte’s entire data footprint, encompassing hundreds of terabytes in their AWS accounts, across a variety of data stores. Teleskope instantly classified Kyte’s entire data footprint, identifying over 100 distinct data entity types across hundreds of thousands of columns and objects. Beyond classifying data entity types, Teleskope also surfaced the data subjects associated with the entities, enabling Kyte to categorize customer, employee, surfer, and business metadata separately. This automated approach ensures that Kyte maintains an up-to-date data map detailing the personal and sensitive data throughout their environment, enabling them to maintain a structured and secure environment.
Securing Data Storage and Infrastructure
Another critical aspect of Kyte’s Teleskope deployment was ensuring the secure storage of data and maintaining proper infrastructure configuration, especially as engineers spun up new instances or made modifications to the underlying infrastructure. While crawling Kyte’s cloud environment, Teleskope conducted continuous analysis of their infrastructure configurations to ensure their data was secure and aligned with various privacy regulations and security frameworks, including CCPA and SOC2. Teleskope helped Kyte identify and fortify unencrypted data stores, correct overly permissive access, and clean up stale data stores that hadn’t been touched in a while. With Teleskope deployed, Kyte’s team will be alerted in real time if one of these issues surfaces again.
End-to-End Automation of Data Subject Rights Requests
Kyte was also focused on streamlining data subject rights (DSR) requests. Whereas their team previously performed this task manually and with workflows and forms, Kyte now uses Teleskope to automate data deletion and access requests across various data sources, including internal data stores like RDS, and their numerous third-party vendors such as Stripe, Rockerbox, Braze, and more. When a new DSR request is received, Teleskope seamlessly maps and identifies the user’s data across internal tables containing personal information, and triggers the necessary access or deletion query for that specific data store. Teleskope also ensures compliance by automatically enforcing the request with third-party vendors, either via API integration or email, in cases where third parties don’t expose an API endpoint.
Conclusion
With Teleskope, Kyte has been able to effectively mitigate risks and ensure compliance with evolving regulations as their data footprint expands. Teleskope reduced operational overhead related to security and compliance by 80%, by automating the manual processes and replacing outdated and ad-hoc scripts. Teleskope allows Kyte’s engineering team to focus on unlocking the freedom to go places through a tech-enabled car rental experience, and helps to build systems and software with a privacy-first mindset. These tangible outcomes allow Kyte to streamline their operations, enhance data security, and focus on building a great, secure product for their customers.
