The compliance work that
runs while you sleep.

Brain AI is the autonomous compliance copilot inside HoundShield. It scores your controls, explains your SPRS gaps, drafts remediation, and builds your audit evidence — continuously, and entirely inside your own network.

Always-on SPRS scoring

Brain AI continuously scores your environment against all 110 NIST 800-171 Rev 2 controls, tracks which are met or missing, and shows your SPRS number trending toward the threshold you need to file.

Drafts your evidence

It turns raw scan results into remediation steps and assembles C3PAO-ready PDF evidence. The repetitive assessment and documentation work happens automatically so your team closes real gaps instead of formatting reports.

Local-only, CUI-safe

Brain AI reasons inside HoundShield’s control boundary. In self-hosted and air-gapped modes nothing leaves your network — so it stays usable for the CUI workloads that cloud assistants legally cannot touch.

Works even with no API key

Brain AI ships with a local compliance knowledge layer, so the core CMMC, HIPAA, and product answers respond instantly even when no external model is configured or reachable. Add a provider key for deeper reasoning — the essentials never depend on the cloud being up.

Let Brain AI run your assessment

No credit card required. See your SPRS score across all 110 controls in under 30 minutes.
