I've been in the security industry for a while and was looking for a strong, automated solution for data discovery, classification, and protection. I was very impressed with the accuracy of the classification on my unstructured data — nothing on the market comes close to this.

CISO

Fortune 100 Insurer

We needed a DLP solution for our messaging platform. We needed a way to provide guardrails for our user community while remaining in compliance with our security policies. By far our favorite feature is the ease of usability. From download to install to initial configuration was maybe 15 minutes. Nightfall has enabled us to achieve compliance with our security program. We are a small organization that has limited resources and we have to rely on technology to do the job of humans.

Dave Overfelt

CISO, Plansight

To ensure I had the proper context to reduce risk at our company, I needed a solution that was cloud first and able to provide visibility into my SaaS providers & infrastructure without slowing down the business. There were plenty of proxy solutions out on the market but none that were able to provide the same visibility and frictionless experience for our team members, enabling us to combat data spray and classification issues. That was until we started leveraging Nightfall — their API-driven solution accurately monitored and was able to take immediate action, which was a game changer for us.

CISO

Hyper-Growth Tech Company

We were looking for a product that quickly identified sensitive data, eradicated this data, and educated our users. Nightfall does this with a very low overhead. Our favorite feature by far are the workflows, having the ability to customize our notifications and data types makes this solution very versatile. Nightfall has helped our business enforce our security policies with very little effort. The level of support we have received, and flexibility has really impressed us. We enjoy working with the Nightfall team!
