About HoundShield
87,000 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 went from zero documentation to assessment-ready in six weeks. Our C3PAO was genuinely impressed with the evidence packages HoundShield generated.

As a 30-person shop, we thought CMMC Level 2 was out of reach. HoundShield made the 110 controls approachable and showed us exactly what to fix first.

The AI gap analysis found policy gaps our internal audit missed. The automated POA&M tracking alone saves us 15 hours a week.
