Data Catalog

Once you've integrated Teleskope with a target data store(s), Teleskope's Data Catalog will showcase all of the insights that Teleskope has derived from your data, such as

1. Data Classification: Teleskope automatically classifies your data to pinpoint what types of personal, financial, health, secrets, or other sensitive data lives within your environment. This shows up in the data catalog under two columns

   1. Data Element: The exact data element that we've detected within each data asset, such as First Name, Country, Medical Diagnosis.

   2. Data Category: Teleskope maps these elements to categories. You can create new categories, or customize the mappings under Settings > Elements and Categories

2. Data Subject: Teleskope predicts who the data is in relation to, such as Customers or Employees

3. Permissions & Access:

   1. Last Accessed: Teleskope surfaces when a data store was last accessed

   2. Permissions View:

      1. Within each asset, Teleskope surfaces which users have access to the asset, when they last wrote or read the asset, and whether the users are internal or external to the organization

4. Configurations: Teleskope surfaces misconfigurations on the data such as if the file is publicly shared, if it allows downloads, etc.

Select a target data store

Select which data store you want to investigate (e.g Google Workspace) on the left hand side menu. By default, all integrated data stores will show up in the menu.

Select an investigation level

Select the desired investigation level (within the left-hand side menu) to explore results. Choose "Drives" to get a list of drives in Google Workspace and a summary of findings. To view all files within Google Workspace at the file level, select "Files."

Investigate a particular data asset

Click on an asset to investigate the findings further (for example, for Google Workspace) click on a Drive or a File to get more details. Navigate to the data elements tab to review our classifications. Click the Preview button next to a classification to visualize what exactly got classified within the file.

Navigate to the permissions tab to gain insights into who has access to the data asset, when they last used their access, their user type, as well as configurations on the asset.

Search for a set of filters

To search for assets that match a certain criteria (e.g all files that contain a SSN), filter the list view with the desired criteria.
