What it does
Fides continuously scans connected systems to discover, classify, and map personal data across an organization's entire data stack. This eliminates the manual effort of building and maintaining Records of Processing Activities (RoPA) and ensures compliance documentation stays current as infrastructure evolves.
Fides streamlines the end-to-end handling of Data Subject Access Requests, including access, deletion, portability, and rectification requests. Automated workflows route requests to relevant data stores, execute required actions, and generate audit-ready reports within regulatory deadlines.
The built-in consent module enables organizations to capture, store, and honor user consent preferences across web and mobile surfaces. It supports granular consent categories aligned with GDPR and CCPA requirements and syncs preferences across connected systems in real time.
Fides allows engineering teams to define privacy policies and data use annotations directly in code, ensuring privacy controls are enforced at the infrastructure level. This developer-native approach integrates seamlessly into CI/CD pipelines, reducing friction between compliance and engineering teams.
Fides supports a broad range of global privacy regulations including GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, LGPD, PIPEDA, and more. Configurable rule sets and jurisdiction-aware workflows allow organizations to manage cross-border compliance obligations from a single unified platform.

FAQs

Ethyca also offers a paid enterprise tier with additional features, managed hosting, dedicated support, and enhanced governance capabilities for organizations with more complex needs.
Fides is designed to support a broad range of global privacy regulations, including GDPR (EU), CCPA/CPRA (California), LGPD (Brazil), PIPEDA (Canada), and other emerging data protection laws. Its configurable rule sets and jurisdiction-aware workflows allow teams to manage multi-regulation compliance from a single platform.
Fides is built with an API-first, developer-native architecture, so having engineering resources available is beneficial — particularly for initial integration with your data stack and configuring privacy-as-code policies. However, Ethyca provides documentation, guides, and enterprise onboarding support to help legal and compliance teams collaborate effectively with their technical counterparts throughout the implementation process.
