HoundDog

HoundDog.ai is a highly efficient AI-powered static code scanner designed to prevent Personal Identifiable Information (PII) leaks and uphold data processing agreements with third-party applications. This innovative tool implements a proactive 'shift-left' strategy, ensuring data security and privacy compliance at the code level.HoundDog.ai's code scanner can continuously detect vulnerabilities that are often overlooked by SAST scanners, where sensitive information is exposed in plain text through avenues such as logs, files, tokens, cookies, or third-party systems. Information exposed can include PII, PIFI, and PHI. It provides essential context and suggests remediation strategies, such as omitting sensitive data, applying masking or obfuscation, or using UUIDs instead of PII.Furthermore, HoundDog.ai's code scanner can track and visualize the flow of sensitive data within a digital ecosystem, making it easier for organizations to generate Records of Processing Activities (RoPA) and keep up with PII changes in the speed of development. The tool will also alert users to anomalies, such as unreviewed product changes introducing new PII or third-party integrations that might violate accepted data processing agreements.HoundDog.ai is built for speed, with capabilities to scan over millions of lines of code quickly. It is designed to seamlessly integrate within developer workflows, operating wherever it is needed, from CLI to CI/CD. The platform supports most CI pipelines, surfaces findings in security dashboards such as GitHub and GitLab, and sends actionable notifications through Slack and Jira. HoundDog.ai is SOC-2 compliant, supports SSO, offers standardized audit logs for SIEM integration, and includes enterprise support.
