Consent Layer sits between your apps and your data stores — pinning every record to a region, honoring every consent choice, and sealing every access into an evidence trail. The next time a regulator, an auditor, or a customer asks where their data lives, the answer is one query away, not a six-week investigation.

Compliance breaks when it lives in spreadsheets, DPAs, and the heads of three people who already left. Consent Layer moves it into the data path itself, where it's enforced automatically and provable on demand.
Tag data by subject, jurisdiction, and classification, then pin it to a region. Consent Layer routes writes to the right store and blocks the ones that would cross a border — so 'EU data stays in the EU' is a rule the system keeps, not a sentence in a contract.
Every preference a person sets — analytics, marketing, profiling, retention — binds to their data and follows it across every service. Revoke once and the choice propagates everywhere in seconds, with the timestamp to prove when.
Each access, export, and policy change is written to an append-only, hash-chained log. When an auditor asks who touched a record and why, you produce sealed evidence in a click — not a reconstruction stitched together from server logs.
Access, deletion, and portability requests run as automated workflows across every connected store. Find every copy of a person, fulfill the request, and generate the completion certificate — inside the legal clock, every time.
Write residency and consent rules in a declarative policy language, version them in Git, and test them in a sandbox before they touch production. A compliance change gets a pull request and a reviewer, not a frantic config edit at 11pm.
One dashboard shows every data store, the regions it spans, and the regimes it falls under — with drift flagged the moment a record lands somewhere it shouldn't. 'Are we compliant right now' becomes a glance, not an audit.
What the control plane changes
Consent Layer is infrastructure: it deploys in front of the databases you already run, speaks their protocols, and adds policy without forcing a migration or a rewrite.
Native connectors for Postgres, MySQL, Snowflake, S3, and the major SaaS systems of record. Point Consent Layer at a store and it inventories every field that holds personal data.
Deployed in your VPC. Consent Layer governs your data where it lives and never copies it out — the control plane sees policy and metadata, never the raw records.
Classifiers scan connected stores and label PII, special-category, and financial fields automatically, so your data inventory builds itself instead of going stale the day it's finished.
A typed API, webhooks for every policy event, and a Terraform provider put residency and consent into the same CI/CD flow as the rest of your platform.
Residency rules, consent semantics, and breach clocks differ in every market. Consent Layer keeps the current ruleset for each, so your policies stay correct as the laws move under them.
Lawful-basis tracking, EU/UK data-boundary enforcement, and 72-hour breach-notification workflows, ready on day one.
Do-not-sell and do-not-share signals honored across every downstream service, with Global Privacy Control parsed and respected automatically.
Canadian residency pinning, meaningful-consent records, and Québec's heightened cross-border transfer rules, enforced not just documented.
PHI classification, minimum-necessary access controls, and BAA-ready audit evidence for every record an application touches.
Consent-manager integration, data-fiduciary obligations, and India residency for in-scope personal data.
Pin workloads to in-country and government regions for the public sector, financial services, and defense supply chains.
“Our last audit took six weeks of engineers grepping logs to prove residency. The next one took an afternoon — I exported a sealed trail for every record the auditor named and we were done. It changed what a compliance review costs us.”
“We were about to spin up a second data platform just to keep EU records in the EU. Consent Layer enforced the boundary in front of the database we already had, and the migration we'd budgeted a quarter for simply went away.”
“A deletion request used to mean a ticket to four teams and a week of waiting. Now a DSAR fans out across every store, fulfills, and hands back a completion certificate the same day. We close inside the clock without anyone touching it.”
Start mapping one store for free. Every plan includes immutable audit logging — proof is never an upsell.
For teams getting their inventory in order.
For teams that have to prove it.
For regulated and high-scale operations.
No. Consent Layer deploys inside your own cloud and governs data where it already lives. The control plane works with policy, classifications, and metadata — your raw records never leave your environment and are never copied to us.
You declare rules that pin classes of data to regions. Consent Layer sits in the data path, routes each write to the compliant store, and blocks operations that would move a record across a boundary it isn't allowed to cross — so the rule is enforced at access time, not checked after the fact.
The preference is bound to that person's records and propagates to every connected service within seconds. Downstream systems see the updated state on their next call, and the revocation is written to the immutable log with a timestamp you can produce as evidence.
DSARs run as automated workflows that locate every copy of a subject across all connected stores, execute the access, deletion, or portability action, and generate a completion certificate. Most requests close in under a minute and always inside the statutory clock.
No. Consent Layer connects to Postgres, MySQL, Snowflake, S3, and major SaaS systems as they are. It adds a governance and enforcement layer in front of your existing stores — no migration, no schema rewrite, and read-only until you choose to turn enforcement on.
Yes. Consent Layer is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified, runs single-tenant in your VPC on higher tiers, and applies the same hash-chained, append-only logging to its own administrative actions that it provides for your data.
Connect one store, watch your residency map build itself, and run your first audit trail today. No data leaves your cloud, and no sales call is required to start.
