Case Study: The Atlantic reduces data deletion time by 95% with Teleskope

How The Atlantic Reduced Time Spent on Data Deletions by 95% with Teleskope

The Atlantic, a renowned magazine and publisher, faced a significant challenge as its lean data team was spending hours each week manually handling data deletion requests. This process, which involved querying internal systems and coordinating with third-party vendors, drained bandwidth from more valuable work. Executive Director of Data Aline Rollenhagen sought a solution to automate this workflow and turned to Teleskope for its data security platform to locate, classify, and delete personally identifiable information (PII).

Teleskope implemented an end-to-end solution featuring AI-powered data discovery to identify PII across all systems and automate deletion workflows. This included building a custom integration for a new subscription platform, ensuring comprehensive vendor coordination. The results were transformative: The Atlantic achieved a 95% reduction in time spent on data deletions and a 97% reduction in cost per deletion. Teleskope provided full data visibility and returned hours of bandwidth to the data team each week for higher-value initiatives.
