Teleskope Decide

Teleskope Decide is the second step of Teleskope's Data Reasoning Layer. It takes data classification output and determines the response to apply, based on an organization's existing policies and configured risk appetite. Policy ingestion: Uploaded policy documents (retention schedules, classification standards, regulatory requirements) are read, individual statements are extracted, and tags are recommended. Each recommendation links to the source clause, page, and quoted text, and goes to a review queue where a team member must approve it before it reaches the platform. Policy Workflow Builder: A visual, node-based interface for building policies from triggers, filters, alerts, actions, and outcomes. Workflows can branch on responses and triggers, and are reviewable before they run. It is designed for use by non-engineers such as compliance teams. Policy Simulation: Previews how many resources a policy would affect before enforcement. The page lists this feature as coming soon. Action determination: Actions include notifying the user, redacting, quarantining, revoking, relocating, deleting, or escalating to security teams. The action is chosen from the data, its context, the business profile, policies, and risk appetite. Cases with low confidence go to human review with context. Risk appetite can be set by organization, environment, data type, or user group. Legal hold can be applied as a policy workflow across connected environments. Decide works with the Understand step, which classifies the data, and the Enforce step, which carries out the decisions.
