In 2023, data breaches involving Personally Identifiable Information (PII) reached an alarming 92%, signaling a concerning trend that highlights the critical need for organizations to reassess their approach to application security (AppSec) and data security. As the repercussions of data breaches become increasingly severe and costly, the importance of detecting and preventing PII leaks early in the development process has never been more evident.
Introducing HoundDog, a revolutionary solution that bridges the gap between AppSec and Data Security. By leveraging a lightweight and ultra-fast static code scanner, HoundDog empowers development teams to identify and address PII risks proactively, significantly reducing the chances of encountering costly remediation efforts post-production if violations are detected.
The Challenge of PII Leaks at the Source
Securing PII is complex, especially when unintentional errors made by developers, such as oversharing or overlogging sensitive information in logs, files, tokens, or cookies, go unnoticed until the code is deployed. These oversights leave organizations exposed to breaches and compliance breaches. HoundDog provides invaluable insights into how PII is handled and flows through third-party channels during development, allowing teams to identify and rectify potential leaks before deployment, thereby integrating proactive PII prevention seamlessly into their workflows.
Streamlining Compliance in a Dynamic Environment
Navigating intricate regulatory frameworks like HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, and FedRAMP can be a time-consuming and reactive process for teams. HoundDog transforms this approach by automating essential compliance tasks, including data flow mapping to visualize PII flows, generating Records of Processing Activities (RoPA) documentation for compliance demonstrations, and detecting compliance violations, such as improper sharing of PII with third parties. By integrating into development environments through various tools and pipelines, HoundDog ensures that compliance and security are inherent in the development process, not added as an afterthought.
