HoundDog.ai, a San Francisco, CA-based startup implementing data security and privacy controls at the code level, raised a $3.1m in seed funding.
Backers included E14 Fund, Mozilla Ventures, and Ex/ante.
The company intends to use the funds to expand operations, its business reach, and development efforts.
Founded by Amjad Afanah, Joohwan Oh and Sudipta Mukherjee, HoundDog.ai helps organizations protect sensitive data from exposure and streamline compliance workflows by integrating data security and privacy controls at the code level from the very start. With its AI-powered code scanner, it detects code logic suspected of handling sensitive data (e.g., PII, PIFI, and PHI), flags vulnerabilities where PII data is exposed in plaintext (in logs, files, and 3rd party systems) and automates the generation of sensitive datamaps and RoPA reports for GDPR compliance.
HoundDog.ai supports popular programming languages and integrates with existing tools, CI pipelines and developer workflows.
