Legal and Compliance

When working in Legal/Compliance, you're constantly faced with the complexities of evolving privacy laws and the need to ensure your organization's compliance. This task is multi-dimensional and has three core outputs.

Fides is designed with this challenge in mind. It assists in making your daily tasks more manageable and less time-consuming. Below is an overview on getting up and running with Fides.

Data Mapping, System Discovery and Data Inventory

The first step in your privacy journey is understanding what systems you have, what they are used for, and where your data lives. Ethyca's platform uses this information to automatically generate legally compliant consent banners and architect Privacy Request flows.

For certain tooling like automated system detection, you may want to work with your IT/Engineering team to get credentials for the platforms you are scanning.
