The open-source language for data privacy
What's new to Fides?
Open-source DSR automation in any stack
Fides empowers engineering and legal teams to automate end-to-end privacy rights fulfillment in any tech stack. Start by scanning infrastructure for PII. Continue by generating a GDPR Article 30-compliant data map. Finish by orchestrating access and erasure requests in any kind of infrastructure… all for free with an open-source platform.

Privacy Checks as Code in CI
Protect users with privacy policies as code guardrails.
Previously, legal and compliance teams had no way to ensure product releases adhered to stated privacy policies. Privacy as Code means automated checks to ensure ongoing compliance.

It takes 83 hours and $1,700 to manually fulfill the average Data Subject Request. With Ethyca’s open-source data privacy tools, you can complete the same request in approximately 17.2 seconds. Fides programmatically orchestrates access and erasure across distributed systems to help you save time and increase efficiency at no incremental cost.

Catch non-compliant code before it's deployed
Fides replaces the need for clumsy review processes, including manual privacy code reviews by a legal stakeholder before shipping to production. To this end, GRC teams can collaborate with engineers to approve permitted policies in Fides that are enforced in the CI pipeline to ensure privacy risk is carefully managed in development.
- Define privacy policies as code in Fides language
- Evaluate privacy risk as part of CI workflows
- Remove privacy siloes between legal & eng teams
Rest assured data never leaves your stack
Solving privacy problems shouldn't create security problems. In contrast to cloud-hosted SaaS privacy solutions, Fides lives on-premise in your stack. This means no data egress and no need to rely on a small third-party provider for hosting your company's most precious information.
- Self-hosted open-source privacy platform
- Eliminate risk of data egress
- Avoid new privacy risk in pursuit of compliance
