Discovery
Scans information schema and column-level metadata using read-only `SELECT` access.
Ketch and Amazon Redshift
Find where personal data lives inside a data warehouse, and fulfill deletion requests against it directly, without a manual query written for every request.
About Amazon Redshift
Amazon Redshift consolidates data from across an organization for analytics at scale, which makes it both a natural discovery priority and, for organizations ready to authorize it, a place where deletion requests can be executed directly rather than only reported on.
Ketch connects to Redshift through a Ketch Transponder to support both.
Capabilities
How Ketch works with Amazon Redshift
The Ketch Redshift integration covers Discovery and Rights Orchestration for both Right to Access and Right to Delete.The connected Ketch user is managed through the organization's normal Redshift user lifecycle, and default privilege grants can be configured at the schema level so future tables inherit the correct access automatically, rather than requiring a manual grant every time a new table appears.
Rights Orchestration
Requires `UPDATE` and `DELETE` access granted on top of that, scoped to the specific schema an organization authorizes.
With Ketch, teams can
- Discover which Redshift tables hold personal data using read-only access
- Grant `UPDATE` and `DELETE` access separately from Discovery, deciding independently whether and when to authorize direct deletion and update
- Configure default schema-level privileges so newly created tables inherit correct Ketch access automatically
The gap
The problem this integration solves
A data warehouse consolidating data from across an organization creates both an opportunity and a risk for privacy fulfillment:
01. Manually tracking which Redshift tables hold personal data across a growing warehouse doesn't scale
02. Fulfilling a deletion request against a data warehouse has historically meant a manual query, slow and hard to prove complete
03. Without default privilege configuration, newly created tables can silently fall outside the Ketch service account's granted access
Ketch resolves this by separating discovery from execution as two distinct privilege grants, and by supporting default privilege grants so new tables inherit correct access without a manual step each time.
Why Ketch
Why teams choose Ketch for Amazon Redshift privacy compliance
Permissioning infrastructure that governs Amazon Redshift the same way it governs every other system in your stack — not a one-off connector bolted onto a banner.
Least-privilege by design
Discovery requires only `SELECT`; rights execution is a separate, explicit grant.
Fits standard Redshift administration
The Ketch user can be managed through normal Redshift user lifecycle practices, including default privilege grants at the schema level.
Backed by enforcement precedent
Regulators increasingly expect businesses to prove technical enforcement, not just describe it on paper, the same underlying expectation that applies to knowing what personal data a warehouse holds.
