Nightfall review
Broad DLP coverage for SaaS-heavy teams that need endpoint and AI-tool controls.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Nightfall is a cloud data loss prevention and insider risk platform for organizations protecting sensitive information across SaaS applications, AI tools, browsers, email, desktop applications, and endpoint devices. It combines API-based SaaS integrations with endpoint agents and browser plugins to detect, classify, monitor, and block exposure. The product is aimed at security and compliance teams that need controls across both cloud applications and employee devices, particularly in SaaS-heavy environments.
Its main strength is breadth across data movement paths. Nightfall can monitor and block uploads, clipboard paste, cloud sync, printing, Git pushes, CLI transfers, and removable-media activity. It also supports discovery and remediation across connected SaaS applications, policy-based alerts and actions, and automated end-user self-remediation notifications. The integration set spans Slack, Google Drive, Jira, Confluence, Salesforce, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft OneDrive, Microsoft SharePoint Online, Notion, Zendesk, Gmail, Microsoft Exchange Online, GitHub, ChatGPT, and Google Gemini. These connections make it a fit for teams that want DLP workflows to reflect the applications employees already use.
Nightfall Complete includes Data Detection & Response, Data Exfiltration Prevention, a dedicated customer success manager, priority support with a 1-hour SLA, and 150 GB of data-at-rest scanning. Complete + AI Agent Security adds protection across endpoints, IDEs, MCP, Claude Cowork, and Claude Enterprise, along with MCP discovery and inventory, an OpenTelemetry audit trail for Claude Cowork sessions, and SIEM export to Splunk, Panther, and Sumo. The published plans use per-user annual pricing with sales contact required, and the seven-day offer is positioned as a proof of value. Choose Nightfall for wide SaaS, endpoint, removable-media, and AI-tool coverage; teams seeking a free plan or self-serve purchasing should look elsewhere.
