Monoid is an open-source solution for automating data privacy. Use Monoid's connectors (or build your own) to automate DSARs (data subject access requests) across your internal and external data silos, and to get ready for CPRA, GDPR, and more.
Hey everyone! I'm Jagath, one of the co-founders (along with @vigneshv59) of Monoid.
Monoid is an open-source suite of tools for helping companies of all sizes implement data privacy, starting with automated DSARs (data subject access requests) and data mapping. The core of the solution is our continually growing set of connectors for each data silo; these connectors allow you to automate user data requests across silos efficiently and effectively.
Being open-source means that we're extensible by design; if we're missing a connector you need, you can build it yourself by following our documentation and code for existing connectors, and contribute it for the rest of the community if you're so inclined :). It also means that we're a truly private solution; you can deploy Monoid on your own infrastructure in under a minute, so you can connect your most sensitive internal silos with user data while minimizing the surface area for breaches or leakage.
There's a growing body of regulation around how companies need to treat their user data; the past few years have seen big leaps in privacy rights with GDPR in the EU and CCPA in California, and the new year is bringing a number of new laws in the US alone, including the CPRA in California and similar laws in Utah, Colorado, and Virginia. Given recent advances in what can be done with lots of data (see: generative AI avatars, personalized LLM chatbots), we're in the middle of a reckoning on how we can make the most of the innovation we're seeing while ensuring there are guardrails around giving users control of their (increasingly more powerful) data.
While there are a number of burgeoning solutions in data privacy, we truly believe that open-source is the best way to bring stronger privacy practices to organizations everywhere; it plays well with data stacks regardless of the tools being used, and it's as private as you can get. There's no sales call or demo required (though we can if you want!) -- just run a couple of commands and you can get up-and-running with user data request automation. Our paid tiers include white-glove support, hosted offerings, ML-based PII scanning, RoPA generation, audit trails, and more.
Sign up on monoid.co today for a free consultation and additional custom connectors on all paid plans (only valid on launch day)!
@shrisukhani thanks for the kind words :). We try to make it simple to add custom integrations; you can check out our guide to building connectors in Python here: https://docs.monoid.co/build-a-c.... In short, you need to implement a few basic functions (connecting, getting data sources, etc.) and you'll be good to go. You can also check out sample connector implementations in the repo: https://github.com/monoid-privac...
This is sweet! Congrats on the launch.
Not that I know of any such regulations, are there any ideas on how you'll deal with potentially conflicting privacy regulations ?
@ninad_sinha Thanks for asking! While "conflicting" might be a bit of a strong word, there's definitely nuance to what specifically is required of companies for user data requests based on the regulations you're looking at. We're adding the ability to specify regulation type for requests soon, as some platforms (e.g. Mixpanel) do handle forwarded requests differently based on the laws you're following.
