HoundDog.ai

HoundDog.ai Privacy Code Scanner is a static code analysis tool designed to detect PII leaks early in development and automate data mapping for privacy compliance. It focuses on shift-left data protection, mapping data flows and generating RoPA (Records of Processing Activities) to help AppSec and Privacy teams minimize sensitive data exposure in code, logs, files, and integrations. The platform emphasizes fast scans, CI/CD integrations, and enterprise readiness to reduce data leakage risk while improving regulatory compliance.

How It Works

1. Integrates with development workflows (CLI, CI/CD, GitHub/GitLab dashboards).
2. Scans codebases to identify PII/PHI/PSI data elements and data flows.
3. Maps data flows across storage, processing, and third-party integrations.
4. Generates RoPA, alerts on DPA violations, and provides real-time insights.
5. Provides risk scoring that factors in data sensitivity, not just generic vulnerability scores.
6. Delivers findings to developers and security teams via familiar tools (Slack, Jira, SIEM-ready logs).
