Case Study: Galileo Health achieves HIPAA compliance across Slack and GitHub with Nightfall

Galileo Health Maintains HIPAA Compliance Across Slack and GitHub with Nightfall

Galileo Health, a fast-growing healthcare technology company led on security by Michael Supon, faced the challenge of maintaining HIPAA compliance and protecting sensitive patient data across collaboration and development tools. To avoid time-consuming manual monitoring and reduce breach risk, Galileo adopted Nightfall’s data loss prevention capabilities, including Nightfall’s Enterprise Slack DLP and Radar for GitHub, to secure Slack, GitHub, and other cloud environments.

Nightfall implemented a machine-learning DLP that continuously scans Slack (using a Discover‑Classify‑Protect workflow and 25+ PII/PHI detectors) and Radar to automatically find secrets in public and private GitHub repos, with customizable responses and automated workflows. The result: eliminated manual GitHub checks, more accurate and less noisy detections, always-on protection that lowers breach liability (noting a potential cost of $430 per patient record), and greater operational confidence—bringing the protection and compliance Galileo needed.
