Privacy by Design Made Easier

One of the major challenges of Privacy by Design, the principle of building privacy considerations into the development process and “from the ground up,” has been on the technical side. How do you write privacy into your systems and operations as you go, compared to tracking and cataloguing after the fact.

Ethyca, a startup focused on the cross-functional challenges in the privacy space, recently released Fides, their open source developer tools to help build privacy right into your code.

Now developers can build your privacy policies and parameters into your code itself and you wont be playing catchup later, or even worse, finding out that you changed your privacy policies but not your code and are now out of compliance with the law.
