HoundDog.ai has emerged from stealth mode with its Series Seed funding and the launch of an AI-powered code scanning platform designed to proactively address data security challenges, particularly the prevention of personally identifiable information (PII) leaks. Founded by a team experienced in data security, HoundDog.ai aims to shift organizations from reactive to proactive data security measures by using advanced code analysis that surpasses current Static Application Security Testing (SAST) scanners. Its AI-driven approach identifies sensitive data flows, performs taint analysis, and generates Records of Processing Activities (RoPA) for GDPR compliance. The platform quickly analyzes extensive codebases, integrates with CI pipelines, and provides alerts and visualizations for sensitive data tracking. HoundDog.ai promises to mitigate risks and costs associated with PII leaks while offering a free scanner for comprehensive data flow mapping and security audits.
