About HoundShield
76,598 defense contractors need CMMC certification. Most can't afford six-figure consulting fees. We built HoundShield to change that.
Democratize CMMC compliance for every defense contractor — from sole proprietors to mid-tier primes — so protecting national security is never gated by budget.

Zero-trust architecture from day one. Every layer encrypted, every access logged, every action auditable.
Purpose-built for CMMC Level 2. We map all 110 controls so you don't have to decode 800-171 yourself.
Automated gap analysis identifies exactly where you fall short and generates remediation plans in minutes.
Open audit trails with SHA-256 integrity. Assessors see the evidence they need, nothing hidden.
$0 to start. Enterprise-grade compliance shouldn't bankrupt a small defense subcontractor.
SOC 2 and GDPR ready out of the box. We practice the compliance we preach.
We're early, and we'd rather show you something checkable than a wall of logos. Every claim below can be verified before you spend a dollar.
All 16 engines and 54 patterns are plain regex in the repository. No model, no black box — diff them against your own CUI markings before you buy.
Every event is SHA-256 hash-chained. Recompute the chain from your own log and confirm no entry was altered or removed — the integrity claim does not depend on trusting us.
Mode B ships as a Docker image on your infrastructure. Prompt content never leaves your network, so there is no vendor cloud in the CUI path to take on faith.
The <10ms figure is enforced by a benchmark in CI, not a marketing estimate. Run it on your own hardware and hold us to the number.
