Shift-Left Privacy Compliance Automation

Third-Party App Data Flow Tracking & Automated Privacy Compliance

Use HoundDog.ai’s AI-powered code scanner to automatically generate records of processing activities and proactively identify third-party applications in violation of data processing agreements. Eliminate surprises by product changes that introduce new PII without proper reviews or third-party integrations that violate accepted data processing agreements. Catch these issues in development to avoid dealing with the more expensive repercussions when discovered later in production.

A Proactive Approach to Third-Party App Data Flow Tracking & Data Mapping

Non-compliance can result in fines from regulators as well as potential disruptions to business operations, damaged brand loyalty, and distrust among customers. Unfortunately, privacy and compliance teams are often short-staffed and find themselves constantly updating outdated data maps due to frequent code changes and the fast pace of development. Most privacy teams continue to rely on surveys and spreadsheets for data collection, increasing the risk of incorrect records of processing activities for GDPR compliance. Additionally, tracking and managing data exchanges with third-party vendors to ensure adherence to data processing agreements is extremely challenging, increasing the risk of compliance violations for organizations. HoundDog.ai helps you generate up-to-date Records of Processing Activities (RoPA) and visualizations of sensitive data flows at the speed of development, which is crucial for GDPR compliance — eliminating the manual and highly error-prone processes otherwise used for this task. Additionally, by applying a ‘shift-left’, proactive approach to data privacy, you can receive alerts to avoid surprises caused by product changes introducing new PII without proper reviews or by third-party integrations that violate accepted data processing agreements. You can catch these issues in development to avoid dealing with the more expensive repercussions when discovered later in production.

Harness AI for Unparalleled Coverage and Accuracy

  • Leverage the power of AI for unmatched coverage and exceedingly high accuracy, complementing our scanner’s pre-defined sensitive data definitions encompassing PII, PIFI, and PHI. HoundDog’s AI workflow processes only the discovered tokens (e.g., names of classes, variables, functions, methods, etc.) to determine if they potentially handle sensitive data. The precision rate, based on our testing against a large number of code repositories, was on average around 95%
  • Add custom data definitions or modify the sensitivity levels of pre-existing sensitive data definitions according to your needs

Proactive "Shift-Left" Data Mapping at the Speed of Development

  • 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.

Close the Third Party Visibility Gap & Eliminate Surprises

  • Receive proactive alerts to avoid surprises caused by third-party integrations that violate accepted data processing agreements or by product changes that introduce new PII without proper reviews. Identify these issues during development to avoid dealing with the more costly repercussions if they are discovered later in production.
