Overview
Fides is an open-source language for data governance, designed to bridge the gap between legal and engineering teams. It allows organizations to define how data can be used and automatically enforce those rules across systems, APIs, and AI pipelines. By providing a shared taxonomy and machine-readable policies, Fides ensures consistent enforcement of data privacy rules, accelerates compliance, and reduces friction between teams. It integrates directly into CI/CD pipelines, enabling privacy-by-design and fostering trustworthy data operations, ultimately making compliance measurable, scalable, and aligned with business strategy.
