HeliosOperational intelligence for data governance

Helios constructs a living operational model of your data and vendor landscape. It delivers continuous, real-time visibility into compliance posture across systems, websites, and third-party integrations, without a manual inventory or static audits.

Why Helios?

Real-time control over a changing perimeter

Modern data environments change faster than compliance programs can track. Helios creates a continuously updated digital twin of your privacy landscape, separating authorized activity from shadow integrations and restoring sovereign control over your digital perimeter.

01
Automated asset discovery
Continuously observe systems, vendors, and web properties to surface sensitive data and external signals as they appear.
02
Contextual data classification
Dynamically classify data at rest and in motion against evolving legal, regulatory, and business context.
03
Live enforcement signaling
Convert discovery and classification into real-time governance signals that drive policy execution and remediation.
04
Persistent processing intelligence
Maintain an always-current Record of Processing Activities that reflects how data actually flows across your estate.

Features

Infrastructure for trusted data operations

Continuously scan your cloud, SaaS, and on-prem systems to discover sensitive data and track how it flows. No scheduled jobs. No stale snapshots. Just always-on discovery that evolves with your stack.

Automatically classify structured and semi-structured data using smart pattern recognition, NLP, and regulatory tagging. Helios learns from system behavior, not just labels, to improve accuracy over time.

Align discovery with regulatory and business context. Built on Fides, Helios applies Ethyca’s open-source taxonomy to categorize data according to purpose, processing role, and jurisdiction, enabling enforceable policy without additional tagging effort.

Pre-classified profiles for 2,500+ third-party vendor technologies, including risk types, regulatory mappings, and data category usage, so you can instantly assess vendor compliance impact.

Track how data moves across teams, tools, and geographies. Helios builds real-time lineage graphs so you can understand upstream and downstream dependencies—supporting faster DPIAs, audit readiness, and model input governance.

Automatically generate RoPAs, data maps, and DSR evidence logs, enriched with full provenance, consent state, and regulatory tags. Export in real time to satisfy global audit requirements.

Governance taxonomy
Model and enforce data policies using a unified privacy taxonomy, enabling consistent consent, classification, and governance across complex systems.
Fides
Consent orchestration
Enforce real-time user preferences with determinism—apply consent signals across systems instantly and revoke access dynamically when permissions change or expire.
Janus
Automated DSR
Automate subject rights requests end to end, with intelligent routing, data resolution, and policy-driven response logic. No more manual reviews or audit gaps.
Lethe
AI policy enforcement
Make privacy rules executable by design in AI systems. Fides translates legal obligations into enforceable policies applied across training, inference, and model governance.
