Clinicians paste PHI into AI every day. Make it a non-event.
Documentation, billing and summarization tools are too useful to ban — but every patient record pasted into them is a HIPAA disclosure. HoundShield detects PHI on your hardware and blocks or quarantines it before it reaches any model, satisfying minimum-necessary and audit requirements.

Who it's for
CISOs, compliance officers and privacy leads at hospitals, clinics, payers and digital-health companies.
