Get started with Fides
To remain compliant with privacy laws and regulations, organizations need to continuously monitor how data is used across their systems. Instead of relying on PR reviews, imagine if you could catch privacy issues automatically before they make it into production.
In this tutorial, you’ll learn about Fides—an open-source privacy engineering platform that lets you map sensitive data across your systems, run automated privacy checks, and quickly respond to data subject requests, or DSRs.
You’ll first deploy a local sample project with an e-commerce sample application that uses Fides to map personal data. Throughout the tutorial, you’ll switch between the role of a user exercising their privacy rights and an administrator responsible for responding to user-submitted data requests.
If you’re running Python 3.12, you may experience errors during the installation process. If this happens, you may find it easier to use an earlier Python version.
