# Teleskope


> Teleskope automates data security from detection to remediation using context-aware classification, the Data Reasoning Layer, and native enforcement across cloud, SaaS, on-prem, and AI environments.


Teleskope is a New York-based data security platform founded by former Airbnb security engineers. Raised $25 million Series A in February 2026 led by M13, with participation from Primary Venture Partners and Lerer Hippeau. Headquarters at 44 Wall St, FL 22, New York, NY. Named an Emerging Player in 2026 UADP by SACR. Offers air-gapped, single-tenant SaaS, or Teleskope-managed deployment models.


## Platform Capabilities


- [Platform Overview](https://teleskope.ai/products/platform-overview): Flexible deployment options including air-gapped, single-tenant SaaS, and Teleskope-managed modes for continuous discovery and automated remediation across cloud, on-prem, SaaS, and AI environments with no agents required
- [Data Reasoning Layer](https://teleskope.ai/products/data-reasoning-layer): Proprietary intelligence layer connecting classification, decision-making, and native remediation in a single loop using Understand-Decide-Enforce framework for automated, governed data security
- [Understand (Classification)](https://teleskope.ai/products/understand): Context-aware classification engine processing 40,000 items per second with 99.3% accuracy across 150+ sensitive data types, including Prism document intelligence and AI Search
- [Decide (Policy Engine)](https://teleskope.ai/products/decide): Policy ingestion from existing governance documents with simulated enforcement, risk-based decision-making, and human-in-the-loop controls for high-confidence automation
- [Enforce (Remediation)](https://teleskope.ai/products/enforce): Native automated remediation including redact, delete, quarantine, revoke access, relocate, encrypt, and notify actions executed within the platform with full audit trails and reversibility


## Use Cases & Solutions


- [AI Data Security and Governance](https://teleskope.ai/solutions-use-cases/ai-data-security): Control sensitive data exposure in AI tools and copilots by mapping data access for LLMs, preventing PII from reaching external models, and enforcing policies across OpenAI, Claude, and Gemini integrations
- [Data Sprawl and Lifecycle Risk Management](https://teleskope.ai/solutions-use-cases/manage-data-sprawl-lifecycle-risk): Automated identification and elimination of redundant, obsolete, and trivial data with continuous enforcement of retention policies, data ownership assignment, and relocation to approved repositories
- [Least-Privilege Access Enforcement](https://teleskope.ai/case-studies): Revoke stale access automatically, identify overly permissive shares across collaboration tools, and enforce least-privilege access controls based on actual data usage patterns without manual intervention


## Integrations
