About Hound Shield

Building the Future of Defense Compliance

87,000 defense contractors need CMMC certification. Most can't afford six-figure consulting fees. We built Hound Shield to change that.

Our Mission

Democratize CMMC compliance for every defense contractor — from sole proprietors to mid-tier primes — so protecting national security is never gated by budget.

What We Stand For

Security First

Zero-trust architecture from day one. Every layer encrypted, every access logged, every action auditable.

Defense-Grade

Purpose-built for CMMC Level 2. We map all 110 controls so you don't have to decode 800-171 yourself.

AI-Powered

Automated gap analysis identifies exactly where you fall short and generates remediation plans in minutes.

Transparent

Open audit trails with SHA-256 integrity. Assessors see the evidence they need, nothing hidden.

Affordable

$0 to start. Enterprise-grade compliance shouldn't bankrupt a small defense subcontractor.

Compliant

SOC 2 and GDPR ready out of the box. We practice the compliance we preach.

Trusted by Defense Contractors

We went from zero documentation to assessment-ready in six weeks. Our C3PAO was genuinely impressed with the evidence packages Hound Shield generated.

Sarah Mitchell

VP of Cybersecurity, Ridgeline Defense Systems

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

James Thornton

CTO, Apex Tactical Solutions

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

Compliance Director, Vanguard Aero Engineering
