HoundDog.ai provides a code-scanning service that inspects developers' source code to detect potential PII leaks using both traditional pattern matching and large language models. The product runs in the continuous integration flow to shift detection left and flag issues before code is merged, with potential future expansion into the development environment. It currently supports Java, C#, JavaScript, TypeScript, SQL, GraphQL and OpenAPI/Swagger, with Python support imminent. The service can auto-generate records of processing activities (RoPA) using generative AI while allowing customers to opt out of sending full source tokens to third-party models. HoundDog offers a limited free plan and paid plans starting at $200/month for scanning up to two repositories. The company was founded by Amjad Afanah, who previously co-founded DCHQ and apisec.ai and worked at Cruise; the product was inspired by conversations at Cyral about proactive data protection.
