One report to start. One plan to stay covered.

The CMMC AI Risk Assessment Report costs $499, one time — no subscription and no signup required. We run HoundShield's proxy across 14 days of your real AI traffic and deliver a SHA-256-signed PDF that scores every prompt event against NIST 800-171, the evidence a C3PAO assessor asks for.

HoundShield subscriptions start free for self-assessment, then scale by coverage: Pro at $199/month adds the AI gateway with 50,000 scans, Growth at $499/month adds unlimited scans plus C3PAO-ready PDF evidence, and Enterprise at $999/month adds on-prem or air-gapped deployment. Annual billing saves 20% on every paid plan.

The $499 report is a one-time engagement: a 14-day scan of your AI traffic and a signed PDF deliverable, with no ongoing commitment. Growth at $499 per month is continuous coverage — unlimited live scanning, alerts, and fresh evidence exports every month. Most teams start with the report, then subscribe to stay covered.

Not necessarily. The 110-control self-assessment is free, and Growth at $499/month adds unlimited scanning plus the C3PAO-ready PDF evidence most contractors need for a Level 2 assessment. Choose Enterprise at $999/month when you need on-prem or air-gapped deployment, white-label PDFs, or a custom SLA.

Yes. Every paid HoundShield plan can be billed annually at a 20% discount compared with month-to-month billing, and every paid plan carries a 30-day money-back guarantee. Annual billing is the typical choice for contractors and healthcare teams budgeting against a fixed compliance deadline. Contact sales for multi-tenant agency pricing.
