Nightfall review and pricing

API-first SaaS-data DLP for modern cloud-native enterprises.

By Nightfall · Founded 2018 · San Francisco, CA · private

Nightfall launched 2018 (founder Isaac Madan) and closed a $40M Series B Mar 2022 led by Bain Capital Ventures. The platform serves SaaS-data DLP with API-first integration into Slack, Salesforce, GitHub, Confluence, Notion, Google Workspace, and other modern cloud-collaboration tools. Wins on SaaS-data coverage breadth, modern UX, and developer-friendly architecture. Loses on traditional endpoint DLP coverage and brand mindshare in legacy-enterprise procurement defaults.
