HoundDog.ai: The Proactive Privacy Code Scanner for AI Applications

HoundDog.ai is a cutting-edge privacy code scanner designed to help organizations build and scale AI applications without compromising user trust. It offers a proactive approach to privacy by design, enabling early detection of PII leaks and automated data mapping directly within the codebase.

What is HoundDog.ai?

HoundDog.ai is a privacy code scanner that focuses on AI applications, offering features for AI governance, data minimization, and leak prevention. It helps developers and security teams discover AI integrations, track sensitive data, and enforce privacy rules before code reaches production.

How does HoundDog.ai work?

HoundDog.ai works by scanning code for sensitive data types, AI integrations, and potential privacy violations. It integrates with IDEs, CI/CD pipelines, and source control systems to provide continuous monitoring and feedback throughout the development lifecycle.

Key Features:

• AI Governance & Shadow AI Discovery: Discovers AI models, SDKs, and agents directly in the codebase.
• Prompt Governance, Data Minimization, and Leak Prevention: Detects sensitive data in prompts during development and enforces allowlists at the code level.
• Data Mapping and Privacy Assessments: Automatically maps data flows in code, showing where sensitive data is collected, processed, and shared, including through AI models.
• OWASP LLM Top 10 Coverage: Helps prevent issues like insecure output handling and sensitive information disclosure by scanning for PII, PHI and authentication tokens in risky mediums.

Why choose HoundDog.ai?

HoundDog.ai offers a proactive, shift-left approach to privacy, helping teams prevent leaks at the source rather than patching them later. It provides complete visibility into both sanctioned and unsanctioned AI usage, ensuring compliance and security.

How to use HoundDog.ai?

HoundDog.ai can be used through IDE plugins (VS Code, Cursor, IntelliJ, and Eclipse), managed scans, and CI/CD integrations. These tools allow users to highlight PII leaks as code is written, offload scanning to HoundDog.ai, and embed the scanner for pre-merge checks.

Who is HoundDog.ai for?

HoundDog.ai is designed for developers, security teams, and privacy professionals who need to build and scale AI applications while maintaining user trust and complying with data privacy regulations. It is particularly useful for organizations handling sensitive data and those looking to implement privacy-by-design principles.

Benefits:

• Early detection of PII leaks
• Automated data mapping
• Enforcement of privacy rules
• Improved AI governance
• Continuous monitoring
• Seamless integration with existing development workflows

ROI:

HoundDog.ai can save significant time and resources by automating privacy compliance and reducing the risk of data breaches. For example, for every 1M lines of code, it can save 4,000 hours and provide productivity gains equivalent to 2 full-time employees.

Make Privacy-by-Design a Reality

HoundDog.ai helps organizations shift left on privacy, enabling them to scan code, get evidence-based data maps, and prevent PII leaks early in the development lifecycle. This proactive approach reduces the need for costly remediation in production and ensures that privacy is built into AI applications from the start.

By leveraging HoundDog.ai, companies can build and scale AI applications with confidence, knowing that they are protecting user data and maintaining compliance with data privacy regulations.
