In this article, we’ll use open-source privacy engineering tools to code a policy that prohibits applications from sharing data with third-parties. This was the data governance issue at stake in a 2019 ruling by the FTC against Facebook that resulted in a hefty fine.
The key to combining privacy and innovation is baking it into the SDLC. Analogous to application security’s (AppSec) upstream shift into the development cycle, privacy belongs at the outset of development, not as an afterthought. Here’s why.
Fides enables developers to check for privacy compliance directly in the CI pipeline, proactively addressing risk and compliance according to resource annotations and Fides policies.
Privacy-as-Code is a means of codifying privacy policies in the codebase. Using an example policy on data collection, here’s how to start creating policies in Fides.
To unlock the Privacy-as-Code power of the Fides developer tools, it all starts with understanding the basics of annotations: descriptions of privacy behaviors in the tech stack.
We’re thrilled to announce Fides, an open-source description language and toolset for privacy. Named for the Roman goddess of trust, Fides lets developers make privacy a feature of any tech stack. Read our CEO Cillian’s letter on why we believe Fides can forever change the field of privacy engineering.
The final piece of the privacy puzzle is an ontology: a powerful model that formalizes the complex relationships between data and its uses in modern tech stacks.
Developer tools for data privacy, built to work in existing pipelines, offer immense potential for embedding privacy and respect into all tech stacks. Our CEO Cillian highlights the positive impacts of privacy devtools.
Engineering teams play a crucial role in modern privacy operations. Here are 6 key PrivEng skills and competencies that all Engineering teams should have in 2022.
