Contemporary Challenges in Data Security and Privacy
With an emphasis on data discovery and protection in production only, current data security and privacy models leave security and privacy teams with severe challenges.
Delayed Detection of Data Leaks
Current security tools often fail to promptly identify leaks of sensitive data, whether stored in logs, files, or transmitted through APIs and third-party systems. When they do detect leaks, it is often after the fact—i.e., after the damage has already occurred. This creates risks and delays in responding to threats.
Data Changes Go Unnoticed Until Deployment
The data security and privacy teams often lack visibility and engagement with data flow decisions. This increases the risk of detecting new PII, PIFI, or PHI data only when changes are pushed to production, thereby escalating compliance and security risks.
Reactive Compliance Measures
To comply with privacy regulations such as GDPR and CCPA/CPRA, documenting the flows of sensitive data is essential. However, existing manual processes often fail to accurately reflect the reality of constantly changing codebases.
HoundDog.ai: Implementing Data Security and Privacy Controls at the Code Level
HoundDog.ai offers an AI-powered code scanner capable of detecting code logic suspected of handling sensitive data (e.g., PII, PIFI, and PHI) and flagging 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.
Harness AI for Unparalleled Coverage and Accuracy
-
Detect the most critical data flow vulnerabilities leading to sensitive data exposure in mediums such as logs, files, tokens, cookies, or when exposed through APIs and third-party systems, all mapped directly to CWE and OWASP classifications. [CWE-201, CWE-209, CWE-312, CWE-313, CWE-315, CWE-532, CWE-539]
-
Leverage the power of LLM models for unmatched coverage and exceedingly high accuracy, complementing our scanner's pre-defined sensitive data definitions encompassing PII, PIFI, and PHI
-
Get high-confidence findings linked specifically to the sensitivity level of identified data elements. For instance, credit card numbers receive a high sensitivity rating, compared to a lower rating for dates of birth.
-
Add custom data definitions or modify the sensitivity levels of pre-existing sensitive data definitions according to your needs.
Eliminate Developer Friction
-
Surface findings to developers in their existing workflows and source control management platforms.
-
Provide developers with essential context and clarity along with the findings, ensuring they understand, trust, and act upon the results.
-
Leverage options to return issues with specific severity types and bypass particular folders, issues, or rules during scans for enhanced detections and flexibility.
Proactive "Shift-Left" Data Mapping at the Speed of Development
-
Eliminate surprises.
Get alerts when new data elements are introduced based on their sensitivity levels. Have full confidence in sensitive data flow changes during development, even if changes are being pushed at an extremely high rate. -
Automate data mapping.
Track and visualize the flow of sensitive data across every file and component where it is collected, processed, or stored. This approach allows you to document processing activities in real time, within seconds.
Slash Compliance Costs with Automated Reporting for GDPR
-
Automate reporting for data privacy
Generate Records of Processing Activities (RoPA) and other privacy-related reports with just a few clicks, eliminating manual and highly burdensome processes.
