The Problem

Delayed Detection of Data Leaks

92% of all data compromised in 2023 involved customer and employee PII record types

Remediation of sensitive data leaks (through logs, files, or third-party systems) can be very expensive, requiring code updates, access log reviews, and potentially customer notifications

Leaks are often detected too late, after damage has occurred, with SAST scanners overlooking such vulnerabilities

Costly, Reactive, and Error-Prone Processes for Privacy Compliance

Product development outpaces privacy teams, leading to a constant need to update outdated data maps, which consumes much of their workload.

Reliance on tribal knowledge and coordination with engineering to document data flows increase compliance risks due to the error-prone nature of the process.

The Solution

Implementing Data Security and Privacy Controls at the Code Level

HoundDog.ai for Proactive Sensitive Data Protection

  • Use HoundDog.ai’s AI-powered code scanner to continuously detect vulnerabilities (currently overlooked by SAST scanners) where sensitive data is exposed in plaintext through mediums such as logs, files, tokens, cookies, or third-party systems
    [CWE-201, CWE-209, CWE-312, CWE-313, CWE-315, CWE-532, CWE-539]
  • Get essential context and remediation strategies, such as omitting sensitive data, applying masking or obfuscation, or using UUIDs instead of PII

HoundDog.ai for Privacy Compliance Automation

  • Use HoundDog.ai's AI-powered code scanner to continuously track and visualize the flow of sensitive data, and effortlessly generate Records of Processing Activities (RoPA) with just a few clicks. This eliminates the manual and highly error-prone processes typically associated with these tasks
  • Receive alerts when new data elements are introduced, based on their sensitivity levels, and prevent out-of-scope product changes from going live to avoid privacy incidents
