Summary and recommendation
Nightfall AI, the data loss prevention platform that scans cloud applications for sensitive data, does not support SCIM user provisioning on any plan. While Nightfall integrates with identity providers like Okta and Entra ID for SSO authentication, these integrations serve a different purpose entirely—they pull user and group data from your IdP to apply DLP policy filtering, not to provision or manage user accounts. This means IT teams must manually create and manage Nightfall user accounts, defeating the purpose of automated identity governance and creating a significant administrative burden for security teams managing data protection across multiple cloud applications.
The lack of SCIM provisioning creates a critical gap in identity lifecycle management for one of your most security-sensitive applications. Without automated provisioning, departing employees may retain access to sensitive data scanning reports and policy configurations, while new hires face delays in accessing essential DLP monitoring tools. This manual process also makes it nearly impossible to maintain accurate audit trails for compliance frameworks that require demonstrable access control automation.
The strategic alternative
Nightfall AI has no native SCIM. Automate offboarding, user access reviews, and license workflows across every app, including the ones without APIs. We maintain the integration layer underneath. You focus on judgment, not plumbing.

Supported identity providers
| IdP | SSO | SCIM | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Okta | ✓ | ❌ | Nightfall AI integration fetches user and group info from Okta for DLP policy filtering. Supports Group Push, Group Linking, Schema Discovery - but these are for importing groups INTO Nightfall for policy use, not for user provisioning. |
| Microsoft Entra ID | ✓ | ❌ | Nightfall supports SSO but no automated SCIM provisioning. |
| Google Workspace | Via third-party | ❌ | No native support |
| OneLogin | Via third-party | ❌ | No native support |
The cost of not automating
Without SCIM (or an alternative like Stitchflow), your IT team manages Nightfall AI accounts manually. Here's what that costs:
The Nightfall AI pricing problem
Nightfall AI gates SCIM provisioning behind premium plans, forcing significant cost increases for basic user management.

What this means in practice
Manual account management: IT admins must manually create, update, and remove user accounts in Nightfall AI. When employees join, leave, or change roles, these changes require manual intervention in the platform.
Policy enforcement gaps: While Nightfall can pull user and group information from your IdP for DLP policy filtering, it cannot automatically adjust user access levels or permissions based on directory changes. This creates potential security gaps where former employees retain access or new hires lack appropriate permissions.
Volume-based pricing complexity: Nightfall's custom pricing model based on data scanning volume makes cost prediction difficult, especially when combined with manual user management that can lead to unexpected usage spikes.
Additional constraints
Summary of challenges
- Nightfall AI does not provide native SCIM at any price tier
- Organizations must rely on third-party tools or manual provisioning
- Our research shows teams manually provisioning this app spend significant hidden costs annually
What Nightfall AI actually offers for identity
SAML SSO (All Custom Plans)
Nightfall AI supports SAML 2.0 integration for single sign-on:
| Setting | Details |
|---|---|
| Protocol | SAML 2.0 |
| Supported IdPs | Okta, Entra ID, Google Workspace, OneLogin |
| Configuration | Standard SAML metadata exchange |
| User requirement | Manual account creation required |
Critical limitation: SSO only handles authentication. User accounts must be manually created in Nightfall before SSO login works.
Okta Integration (via OIN)
The official Okta Integration Network listing for Nightfall AI shows specialized DLP functionality:
| Feature | Supported? |
|---|---|
| SAML SSO | ✓ Yes |
| User provisioning | ❌ No |
| Group synchronization | ✓ Limited (for policy filtering only) |
| Deprovisioning | ❌ No |
| Profile updates | ❌ No |
Important distinction: Nightfall's Okta integration pulls user and group data FROM Okta to apply DLP policies, not to provision user accounts IN Nightfall. This is policy enforcement, not user lifecycle management.
What's Actually Missing
For a security tool that monitors your entire data landscape, the lack of automated user lifecycle management creates significant operational overhead and compliance gaps.
What IT admins are saying
Nightfall AI's lack of automated user provisioning creates operational overhead for IT teams managing data loss prevention policies:
- Manual user onboarding required despite SSO integration
- No automated deprovisioning when employees leave the organization
- User data must be manually synced between IdP and Nightfall for policy filtering
- Complex pricing model based on data volume makes budget planning difficult
Nightfall AI integration fetches user and group info from Okta for DLP policy filtering... but these are for importing groups INTO Nightfall for policy use, not for user provisioning.
User accounts must be manually managed in Nightfall even with SSO configured.
The recurring theme
While Nightfall can pull user and group data from your IdP for policy purposes, it can't automatically provision or deprovision user accounts, creating a disconnect between your identity management and DLP tool administration.
The decision
| Your Situation | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Small security team (<10 users) with stable headcount | Manual user management acceptable |
| Mid-size organization (10-50 users) with regular staff changes | Use Stitchflow: automation eliminates provisioning delays |
| Enterprise security team (50+ users) across multiple departments | Use Stitchflow: automation essential for scale |
| Organizations with strict compliance requirements (SOX, HIPAA) | Use Stitchflow: automated audit trail required |
| Multi-cloud deployments with complex DLP policies | Use Stitchflow: consistent provisioning across environments |
The bottom line
Nightfall AI delivers robust data loss prevention capabilities but offers no SCIM provisioning—users must be manually added regardless of your plan or IdP setup. For security teams that need automated user lifecycle management without the operational overhead, Stitchflow provides the missing piece.
