AI-Native Companies

Ship AI. Keep your data inside the lines.

Nightfall stops model weights, training data, customer prompts, and API keys from leaving through your own agents, third-party copilots, SaaS, email, and endpoints — and gives you the evidence enterprise security reviews and SOC 2 auditors ask for.

The Shift

You ship AI faster than anyone. Your data controls haven’t kept up.

Control what AI agents access, execute, and expose. Secure how employees use AI applications — without slowing the business down.

Your team lives in other people’s

models.

Engineers paste eval data, customer prompts, and source into ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and Gemini all day. Legacy DLP inspects files and email — not prompts.

Your own agents act on your data.

Internal agents and MCP servers read repos, tickets, and customer data and take actions on their own. Nobody approved what they can access or send — and your customers are asking.

Sharing is the new exfiltration.

One Drive link, one Slack channel, one Hugging Face push — weights and training data leave without a file ever being "downloaded."

Where AI-native companies

‍start with Nightfall

Secure AI and agents

Govern what employees paste into third-party models and what your own agents can access and expose — inline, before data leaves.

Explore MCP & AI agent security

Pass enterprise security reviews

Answer "how do you protect our data in your AI systems?" with real-time controls and evidence, not a policy PDF. Deploy in days, no appliances.

Stop exfiltration and insider risk

Catch model weights, training data, and API keys moving to personal accounts, USB, or unsanctioned apps — with full lineage back to the source.

What We Solve

Four risks every AI-native security

lead is being asked about

Risk 01

Model weights and training data walk out the door

Checkpoints, fine-tuning datasets, and eval sets move through cloud storage, Slack, and personal drives — by a departing researcher or an honest mistake. They are the company.

What Nightfall does

Custom detectors for your model artifacts and datasets, real-time blocking across every channel, and full lineage of who moved what, where, and when.

Outcome

Protect the IP investors priced without slowing research — and have forensics ready if you need them.

Risk 02

Customer data flows into third-party models

Engineers debug with real customer prompts and outputs in competitors’ models; internal agents connected through MCP read and act on customer data with no guardrails.

What Nightfall does

Browser and endpoint sensors inspect prompts before submission; agent-level controls govern what your own agents can access and expose.

Outcome

Keep the data-handling promises in your DPA and model card — and prove it to enterprise buyers.

Risk 03

API keys and secrets sit exposed in SaaS

Production inference keys, cloud credentials, and customer tokens end up in Slack threads, Jira tickets, and Notion pages — the fastest path to a compute bill or a breach.

What Nightfall does

AI-native detection finds secrets, credentials, and PII across SaaS and AI apps with low false positives on code, and remediates or rotates automatically.

Outcome

Close the exposure before it becomes an incident or a SOC 2 exception.

Risk 04

Research and customer data is overshared

Datasets, design docs, and customer evals are shared with the wrong recipient or left open to “anyone with the link” as the team grows fast.

What Nightfall does

Discovers over-permissioned data and revokes inappropriate sharing at scale — including everything shared before you had a security team.

Outcome

Prove least-privilege access to data, not just to systems — a standard enterprise-review question.

Compliance

Built for the frameworks your buyers ask about

SOC 2 Type II

Continuous evidence for confidentiality and data-handling controls across SaaS and AI.

ISO 27001 / 42001

Information security and AI management system controls for data used in and by models.

EU AI Act

Data governance and record-keeping support for high-risk and GPAI obligations.

NIST AI RMF

Map data controls to the Govern, Map, Measure, and Manage functions.

GDPR / CCPA

Find and protect personal data in prompts, logs, and training sets wherever it lives.

HIPAA & PCI (customer data)

Honor the regulated data your enterprise customers send through your product.

Customer DPAs

Evidence that customer data stays out of third-party models and unapproved tools.

AI Agents

Control what your agents can access and expose

Your internal agents and MCP servers read repos, tickets, customer data, and mail and take actions on their own. Nightfall sits in the path: it knows what data an agent touched, what it tried to send, and stops the ones that cross a policy — in real time, with a full audit trail.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Nightfall detect our model artifacts and datasets, not just PII?

Yes. Alongside built-in detectors for PII, secrets, and credentials, custom detectors and file fingerprinting cover checkpoints, fine-tuning sets, eval data, and internal research — with lineage back to the source.

Can Nightfall stop engineers from pasting customer data into third-party models?

Yes. Browser and endpoint sensors inspect prompts before submission and redact or block customer data and secrets inline — in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, and others — while approved AI use continues.

How does Nightfall secure the agents we build ourselves?

Nightfall governs what your agents and MCP servers can access and expose, inspects their actions against policy in real time, and records a full audit trail — the evidence enterprise buyers ask for.

Does Nightfall help us pass enterprise security reviews?

Yes. Real-time controls plus exportable evidence answer the data-handling, insider-risk, and AI-governance questions in SOC 2 audits and customer security questionnaires.

How long does deployment take?

SaaS and GitHub connect via API in minutes; browser and endpoint sensors deploy through your MDM; the developer API drops into your own pipelines. Most teams are fully live within days.
