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.

Fideslang
Fideslang is a first-of-its-kind description language for privacy engineering; built to support all the data concepts necessary for describing a system under GDPR, CCPA, or LGPD.
It's extensible, so you can add data definitions to suit any business, and it's constructed to allow a natural understanding of any label for any user.

Fidesctl is a modern framework for data teams to implement data privacy requirements using existing CI/CD tools. It comprises a command-line tool and server that, in combination, are the management application for the core privacy definition language.
Fidesctl lets engineers track privacy metadata directly in Git and automate privacy checks in the CI pipeline.

Fidesops is built for data engineers with configurable scheduling, request execution, and webhook support to trigger internal services. It ensures timely, consistent, and safe enforcement of privacy rights across systems.
When a privacy request is sent to fidesops, it uses policies written in fideslang to generate a deterministic query plan to run across all connected systems, and fulfills the request according to the exact policy configured by the developer responsible.

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.

Exploring policies in fidesctl
Here’s a short video exploring a demo policy file in fidesctl; you’ll see how each policy comprises an array of rules for datasets described by fideslang. - Ethyca presents:
Annotating data with fidesctl
Here’s a short video on how to begin annotating data in fidectl using the annotate-dataset command in the CLI, with a data hierarchy visualizer.
