Send automated messages to educate employees about company policies and empower them to self-remediate policy violations.
Trusted by the most innovative organizations
Why switch from Google DLP to Nightfall?
Enterprises need a data leak prevention (DLP) platform that can secure their sensitive data at scale.
AI-native detection
Leverage a powerful Generative AI (GenAI) detection engine to identify assets containing PII, PHI, PCI, secrets, and corporate IP with 2x better accuracy, 4x fewer false positive alerts, and reduced security team workloads.
Seamless security team workflows
Our capabilities are designed to meet the evolving needs of modern enterprises, offering real-time employee coaching and remediation that doesn’t interfere with productivity.
Unified platform
Deploy a single detection engine for end-to-end data security across the entire enterprise attack surface, from SaaS and GenAI apps to email and endpoints.

Features
Nightfall AI
Detection
Supports 5 use cases: Data Detection and Response, Data Security Posture Management, Data Exfiltration Prevention, Data Encryption, and Data Discovery and Classification
Secures the entire Google Workspace environment, from Gmail to Google Drive
Google Cloud DLP
Detection
Supports data detection and response, but not additional use cases such as data exfiltration prevention, data encryption, etc.
Disjointed, unintuitive DLP capabilities
Coverage
Nightfall AI
Broad DLP coverage of business-critical SaaS applications, including Slack, Jira, Confluence, Zendesk, Salesforce, GitHub, and more.
Unified workflow across SaaS apps and email.
Data encryption with employee opt-in, along with several robust administrative controls like setting expiration dates and blocking email forwarding.
Google Cloud DLP
Protects Google Workspace only.
Separate workflows for Google Drive and Gmail.
Encryption with no employee opt-in; lack of administrative controls in Gmail.
Ease of Use
Nightfall AI
Leverages state-of-the-art neural networks and fine-tuned LLMs in detecting PII, PCI, PHI, passwords, API keys, and intellectual property with high precision and recall, ensuring minimal noise and fewer missed detections.
Detects sensitive data in 50+ file types, including docs, images, spreadsheets, HTML, PDFs, logs, images, and zip archives.
Google Cloud DLP
33% lower precision and 60% lower recall in detecting PII, PCI, PHI, and credentials, leading to an overwhelming number of false positives and missed detection.
No support for embedded images or zip archives.
Architecture
Nightfall AI
Flexible remediation options include automated, manual, and employee remediation (with Human Firewall).
Human Firewall feature offers employee self-remediation options as well as coaching to automate incident response and maintain a secure-by-design culture.
Google Cloud DLP
Manual admin-only remediation.
No employee self-remediation options.
Not all DLP is created equal
Your go-to cloud DLP solution should leverage AI to cut through the noise, reduce security team workloads, and improve your security posture.
