Hi HN,

I just released PrivacySDK — a privacy + security vulnerability scanner that plugs directly into GitLab, GitHub and various development CI/CD workflows. It scans your codebase for GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, and security violations using a combination of AI (Google Gemini via Vertex AI) and hardcoded rule engines.

Think: linting, but for privacy compliance.

Key features:

Works with GitLab CI/CD, GitHub Actions, & various development workflows

Scans 12+ programming languages (JS, Python, Go, Java, etc.)

AI + rule-based detection (fallback-ready for production reliability)

Catches privacy risks with severity levels

Offers specific privacy recommendations

Educates developers on privacy best practices as they code

Real-time merge request comments, auto-issue creation, and CI pipeline enforcement

Helps enforce privacy-by-design automatically

Live website interface: Upload your code and get instant privacy reviews

Fully documented, tested, and ready for DevSecOps teams

Open source for personal/non-commercial use

Thanks! – Nabanita De, Founder and CEO, https://privacylicense.ai/
