ON DUTY When your security team logs off, Nightwell logs on

Your security team works business hours. Attackers don't.

Nightwell is a virtual AI security team that takes over when your people go home. It triages alerts, contains threats and keeps testing your defenses through nights, weekends and holidays, then hands back a clear Morning Briefing at 08:00.

On duty when you're not. Your team keeps every decision. Nightwell does the watching, triage and first response in between, and asks before anything disruptive.

The problem

Your team clocks out at 5. The risk doesn't.

Most security teams are staffed for the working week. Attackers plan around exactly that.

Round-the-clock coverage is out of reach for most teams.

One security seat staffed 24/7 takes roughly five full-time people once you count 168 hours, vacations and sick days. Most teams have one to three. So the alert that fires at 2 a.m. waits until 8 a.m., or until Monday. In one recent survey, 78% of organizations cut security staffing by half or more on holidays and weekends (Semperis, 2025).

The solution

A virtual security team, right in your org chart.

Nightwell joins your IT organization as a virtual team under your Security Manager. It works the hours your people don't, and passes work to the right human team in the morning.

Meet the night shift

Eight AI agents. Every hour covered.

Each agent takes on a job that today waits until morning. Hover over a card to see how it works and which engines it runs.

Nightwell mobile app

Security control in your pocket.

You won't always have a laptop when it matters. The Nightwell app gives CIOs and security managers a top-level view of the whole program, and lets them approve or reject critical actions from their phone in seconds.

Critical alerts only

No alert noise. Your phone only rings for what needs a human, at thresholds you choose.

One-tap approvals, biometric-confirmed

Isolate a host, disable an account or block an IP with Face ID or fingerprint, and the agent's full reasoning in front of you.

The top view, anywhere

Posture score, open incidents, decisions waiting and who's on duty, at a glance.

Smart escalation

No answer in 15 minutes? Nightwell moves to your backup approver, then your optional MSP partner.

Morning Briefing & Ask Nightwell

Read the night's summary on the way in, and ask follow-up questions in plain language.

Secure by design

Approvals are bound to your device and identity. The lock screen shows no sensitive details, and high-impact actions can require a second approver.

No BCP? No IRP? Answer a few questions.

Many organizations don't have a Business Continuity Plan, an Incident Response Plan or an Acceptable Use Policy yet, or have ones that nobody has opened in years. Nightwell's AI Governance Officer builds them with you.

1

Pick the document

BCP, IRP, DRP, AUP, access control, backup, vendor risk and more. Nightwell flags which ones you're missing.

2

Answer a short questionnaire

Your critical assets and how long each can be down, your core team and their 24/7 contacts, who can declare an incident. Most answers are pre-filled from your environment.

3

Review and approve the draft

A complete first draft aligned with ISO 22301, NIST SP 800-34 or NIST SP 800-61. A human approves it before it's published, and a tabletop test is scheduled.

Trust & control

AI that asks before it acts.

Nobody wants an unsupervised robot on the night shift. Nightwell is built so you can see, limit and reverse everything it does, even while you're asleep.

See it for yourself

Meet your night shift in 8 minutes.

Follow the guided demo from sign-in to your first Morning Briefing: set your hours, connect resources, activate eight agents, approve an overnight action and build a BCP with AI.

Platform

Everything your team does by day, continued through the night.

Four security services and eight AI agents, coordinated by one orchestrator. After hours, Nightwell runs your security operations. During the day, it keeps testing, documenting and reporting alongside your team.

● Defensive services

A night-shift SOC that only wakes you for what matters.

Every alert from every source is triaged, correlated and enriched, at 2 a.m. as well as 2 p.m. Real incidents are contained by playbooks inside your guardrails. Anything disruptive pages your on-call approver. Everything else is closed with its reasoning saved for audit.

● Offensive services

Continuous pentesting while the office is empty.

The AI Red Teamer tests your attack surface the way an attacker would, inside the scope and testing window you authorize (often overnight or on weekends, so nobody is disrupted). Attacks your defenses miss automatically become new detections.
