At Teleskope, we believe that data security and privacy is shifting left, and should be automated and enforced from within at the earliest stages. We are building a developer-first data security platform that provides companies with complete and actionable visibility into their continuously growing data.

Casa is the secure home for your Bitcoin. One of the greatest promises of Bitcoin is the ability to give people back control of their own money - to "be their own bank". However, individuals today don't have the necessary tools to shoulder the responsibility that comes with the promise of fully owning their money. The largest barrier to adoption of Bitcoin is the ability for people to feel safe using it, and we're tackling that problem head-on. At Casa, we're developing secure personal key management systems that help you keep your Bitcoin safe. We're at the forefront of security and UX for private keys, and we're striving to give people the tools for securing their digital lives. If you want to join us on our mission, drop us a line: jobs[at]team.casa.

They are also wireless, cellular, and customizable: It works anywhere and will fit any house, apartment or business.

BigID is transforming enterprise protection and privacy of personal data. Organizations are facing record breaches of personal information and proliferating global privacy regulations with fines reaching 4% of annual revenue.

OneTrust automates privacy impact assessments and data inventory mapping, enforces risk remediation actions, and triggers recurring audits for continuous compliance monitoring across customer, employee, and vendor data transfers. Our web-based software can be accessed on any device and provides a single place for your privacy office to collaborate with business groups, vendors and trusted advisors managing privacy risks. OneTrust is deployed in the cloud or behind the firewall, and can be integrated with other security and compliance assessment activities. The result is the ability to demonstrate privacy by design and ongoing compliance with your policies, EU's data privacy laws (GDPR, BCR, Privacy Shield), and other privacy frameworks (HITECH, ISO, GAPP, APEC).

Pindrop® Protect provides a risk score and call intelligence to the call center in the first few seconds of each call. The risk score — along with the analysis of the caller’s voice, device, and behavior — is provided to the call center’s fraud analyst team for further investigation. Pindrop’s proprietary machine learning algorithms then use feedback from the investigation to maximize solution performance. Pindrop® Passport evaluates call center interactions in real-time to passively authenticate legitimate customers. Passport runs in the background of every call, combining patented Phoneprinting™ technology with proprietary Deep Voice™ biometrics to determine if a caller has the right device, voice, and behavior to access an account. Whether callers use voice or touch-tone interactions within the IVR — or opt to speak to an agent — Pindrop credentials follow customers across the lifecycle of each call.
