Case Study: Vital protects patient data and maintains HIPAA compliance with Nightfall

Vital uses Nightfall to protect patient data and maintain compliance

Vital, a healthcare technology company co-founded by Mint.com creator Aaron Patzer, needed to protect PHI across its fast-growing, remote-first environment while supporting HIPAA, SOC 2, and HITRUST compliance. As the company relied on cloud tools like Slack, Confluence, and Jira for collaboration, it wanted a data security solution that could monitor sensitive data without slowing down teams; it chose Nightfall DLP to help manage that risk.

Nightfall gave Vital a single dashboard to detect and control sensitive data across Slack, Confluence, and Jira, with high-accuracy detection for PHI and PII plus in-Slack notifications and remediation workflows. The result was streamlined incident response, one consistent rule set across apps, and stronger visibility into data exposure, helping Vital prove compliance and maintain security as it scaled.
