The panel's verdict

NordPass, Nord Security Inc.'s business password manager, scores strongest on operations and weakest on paperwork. Sharing and access control, identity integration, deployment and portability and security architecture hold at a flat 4, with audit and policy at 4 to 5. Those scores rest on published specifics: XChaCha20 with Argon2id derivation and X25519 key exchange, organization-level account recovery that reassigns a departed employee's items, provisioning with Entra ID and Okta, SSO with Google Workspace over OAuth 2.0, and clients for six platforms plus five browser extensions. Sovereignty is the weak column at 2 to 3 — vault items sit in AWS data centers across the US and EU, no captured page states where the contracting entity is incorporated, and subprocessors appear only as categories — and judges differ on how far that evidence goes. Pricing transparency follows at 1 to 2: no price figure appears on any captured page, and the enterprise route is a demo request. Judges split a point on whether the activity log, with no export or retention path shown, earns a 4 or a 5.

Report an error

Speaks for it

  • Published encryption design names XChaCha20 for vault contents, Argon2id key derivation with a 16-byte salt, and X25519 for key exchange.
  • A departed employee's items stay with the organization and can be reassigned, with organization-level account recovery documented.
  • Provisioning with Entra ID and Okta, SSO with Google Workspace, and OAuth 2.0 for business authentication are documented.
  • Clients cover iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, Linux, the web vault and five browser extensions, with offline credential access listed.
  • The 14-day business trial requires no credit card.

Report an error

Held against it

  • The captured pricing pages map six plan segments to features but show no price figure, seat minimum or add-on price.
  • ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 certifications and the third-party audits appear without dates, auditor names or published reports.
  • We found no public information on how the vault key is derived or released when a user signs in with SSO.
  • We found no public information on exporting the activity log to a SIEM, or on log retention periods.
  • We found no statement of where the contracting entity is incorporated and no subprocessor list with locations.

Report an error

Best for

  • You need offboarding handled: a departed employee's items stay with the organization and can be reassigned.
  • Your team already runs Entra ID or Okta and wants user and group provisioning with SSO.
  • You want broad client coverage — six apps and five browser extensions — with offline credential access.
  • You want to trial before committing, via a 14-day business trial that needs no credit card.

Report an error

Avoid if

  • You must compute an annual invoice from published per-user prices before talking to sales — the captured pricing pages show tiers and features but no figures.
  • You require vault data confined to a single region — the captured pages describe storage in AWS data centers across the US and EU.
  • Your compliance regime needs audit logs exportable to a SIEM with stated retention — we found no public information on either.
  • Your procurement requires a named subprocessor list and a stated incorporation jurisdiction — the privacy policy names recipient categories only.

Encryption model & independent audits

Show reasoning
How this is scored

What the vendor can prove about its security design: end-to-end encryption with named algorithms and key derivation, which fields are encrypted on the device and which are not, independent audits and penetration tests with published results, a bug bounty, and incident history disclosed.

0 — Security described in adjectives ("bank-grade", "military encryption") with no architecture, no audit and no statement of what the vendor can read.

3 — Encryption algorithms named and "zero knowledge" claimed, but no whitepaper, no statement of which fields stay unencrypted, and audits mentioned without dates, auditors or results.

5 — A published security whitepaper naming algorithms, key derivation and the client-side encryption model, a stated list of what is and is not encrypted (including URLs and metadata), and a named independent audit or certification (ISO 27001, SOC 2) with its date.

8 — Recurring independent penetration tests or code audits with reports or summaries published, a public bug bounty or vulnerability disclosure policy, past security incidents documented with their impact, and open-source clients or cryptography that can be reviewed.

10 — The design is verifiable end to end: full source or cryptographic design public, every field encrypted client-side including metadata, audits by named firms repeated yearly with full reports, a threat model that states what a compromise of the vendor's servers would expose, and incident post-mortems published.

Report an error

The CISO

The security pages name the full cryptographic stack — XChaCha20, Argon2id with a 16-byte salt, X25519 for key exchange — and claim zero-knowledge, which is more than adjectives. But I found no whitepaper stating which fields stay unencrypted, the ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 certifications come with no auditor, date or report, and there is no documented incident history; the bug-bounty language is a sentence about white-hat hackers rather than a published program with a policy. 5 6

Report an error

The Identity Engineer

The security page names real primitives — XChaCha20 for the vault, Argon2id key derivation with a salt, an X25519 asymmetric layer for key exchange — plus a zero-knowledge claim and ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 certifications, which is more than adjectives. But the audits and certifications carry no dates, auditors or published results, and we found no public information on which fields such as URLs or metadata remain unencrypted. 5 6

Report an error

The Compliance Auditor

The security pages name the design concretely — XChaCha20 for vault contents, Argon2id derivation with a 16-byte salt, X25519 for key exchange, encryption on the device before upload — and claim zero-knowledge, which is more than adjectives. But ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 appear with no dates or scope, the "regular independent third-party security audits" come with no auditor, date or result, and I found no public statement of which fields such as URLs and metadata stay unencrypted. A mention of white-hat hackers hints at a bounty, though I found no public policy, incident history or reviewable client source. 3 5 6

Report an error

The SME Owner

The security pages show real cryptography rather than adjectives: XChaCha20 with Argon2id key derivation, asymmetric keys for the exchange, and encryption on the device before upload. But audits are described only as regular independent third-party audits with no auditor, date or published result, a bug-hunting effort is alluded to only as employing white hat hackers, ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 are named without dates, and I found no public information on which fields such as URLs or metadata stay unencrypted. 5 6

Report an error

The DevOps Engineer

The encryption design is written down in real detail — XChaCha20 for vault contents, Argon2id key derivation with a 16-byte salt, X25519 for key exchange — and ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 are named, which is well above adjective-level security. But the certifications carry no dates, and we found no public information on published audit reports, on which fields stay unencrypted, or on open-source clients I could review myself. 5 6

Report an error

The Skeptic

The security page names real cryptography — XChaCha20 for vault contents, Argon2id with a 16-byte salt for key derivation, and an asymmetric layer for key exchange — so this is more than adjectives. But the audits are described as regular independent third-party security audits with no firm, no date and no report, the ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 certifications appear without dates, and we found no public statement of which fields stay unencrypted and no documented incident history to test the zero-knowledge claim against. 5 6

Sharing, roles & recovery

Show reasoning
How this is scored

How credentials are shared and governed across a company: shared vaults or collections, role-based permissions, view-only and time-limited access, admin account recovery, emergency access, and what happens to shared items when an employee leaves.

0 — Personal vaults only, or sharing by sending a password to another user with no permissions and no record.

3 — Shared folders with all-or-nothing access, no roles, and no stated process for recovering an account or reclaiming credentials from a departing employee.

5 — Shared vaults or collections with read, edit and manage permissions, groups and admin roles, an admin recovery mechanism documented with its key model, and offboarding that transfers a leaver's shared items.

8 — Granular permissions down to hiding the password while allowing autofill, time-limited and one-time sharing with external parties, emergency access with a waiting period, delegated administration per team or location, and approval workflows for sensitive items.

10 — Access is governed and provable: least-privilege defaults, recovery and emergency access designed so the vendor never holds a key and stated so, periodic access reviews supported in the product, and every grant, change and revocation attributable to a person.

Report an error

The CISO

A Sharing Hub, organization-level account recovery and reassignment of a leaver's items to the organization are stated, which answers the offboarding question. What I cannot find is any granularity — read-only, time-limited or hide-the-password sharing — and the recovery mechanism is described without its key model, so I cannot say who holds what when an admin recovers an account. 1 2 4 5

Report an error

The Identity Engineer

Sharing is run through a sharing hub with an owner role managing member permissions, organization account recovery, and — the part I care about — an employee's items stay with the organization and can be reassigned when they leave. We found no public information on read, edit and manage permission granularity, view-only or time-limited sharing, or the key model behind organization recovery, so I cannot tell what recovery exposes. 1 2 4 5

Report an error

The Compliance Auditor

Sharing is organised: a Sharing Hub monitors all shared credentials, an owner role manages member permissions and organisation-wide settings, the organisation can recover employees' accounts, and a leaver's items stay with the company and are reassigned — my offboarding question is answered. What I cannot evidence is granularity or the key model: I found no public information on read-only versus edit rights, time-limited or one-time sharing, emergency access, or how organisation recovery works cryptographically. Departure is handled; least privilege is not demonstrated. 1 4 5

Report an error

The SME Owner

This speaks straight to my pain points: the organization can recover an employee's forgotten account without any risk of losing data, and when someone leaves their items stay with the organization and can be reassigned, with a Sharing Hub to oversee shared logins and an owner role managing member permissions. I found no public information on read-versus-edit permission granularity, groups, or the key model behind that account recovery, so I can't tell how tightly sharing is actually governed. 5 1 4 2

Report an error

The DevOps Engineer

Organization-level account recovery, items staying with the company and being reassignable when an employee leaves, a sharing hub, and an owner role that manages member permissions are all documented. We found no public information on granular roles such as view-only versus manage, time-limited sharing, emergency access, or the key model behind the account recovery, so I take the governance claims on faith rather than on paper. 1 2 4 5

Report an error

The Skeptic

Organization-level account recovery and reassignment of a departed employee's items are documented, an owner role governs member lists and permissions, and a sharing hub centralizes shared credentials. What recovery means for the key model is not stated anywhere we could see, and we found no public information on granular read or edit permissions, view-only or time-limited sharing, or emergency access with a waiting period. 1 4 5

SSO, directory sync & provisioning

Show reasoning
How this is scored

How the vault fits into the company's identity stack: SSO with Entra ID, Okta or Google, and the key model behind an SSO unlock; SCIM or directory sync for joiners and leavers; MFA options including hardware keys; and passkey support for users and the vault itself.

0 — Each user creates an account by email; no SSO, no directory sync and no MFA beyond an app code.

3 — SSO available only to sign in to the admin console or on the top tier with no description of how the vault is then decrypted, and users provisioned by CSV invite.

5 — SSO with named identity providers (Entra ID, Okta, Google) documented with how the vault key is derived or released, SCIM or directory sync for provisioning and deprovisioning, and MFA including FIDO2 or hardware keys.

8 — SSO unlock designed so the vendor cannot derive the vault key and stated so, group sync driving vault permissions, automated suspension on deprovisioning, conditional access or device policies, and passkeys stored and used across platforms.

10 — Identity is integrated without trust shortcuts: the SSO key model published and independently reviewed, deprovisioning that revokes vault access and shared items immediately with a log entry, passwordless vault unlock with passkeys, and support for the customer's own key-management or trusted-device approval.

Report an error

The CISO

SSO with Google Workspace and user-and-group provisioning with Entra ID and Okta are listed, and OAuth 2.0 is named as the business authentication backbone. The captured pages never say how the vault key is derived or released under SSO, and I found no public information on FIDO2 or hardware-key MFA or on what deprovisioning actually revokes. 1 2 5

Report an error

The Identity Engineer

User and group provisioning with Entra ID and Okta is exactly what my leaver process needs, and SSO with Google Workspace over OAuth 2.0 is documented. But we found no public information on how the vault key is derived or released at an SSO sign-in, whether deprovisioning suspends vault access immediately, or FIDO2 hardware keys for unlocking the vault — passkeys appear only as something the vault stores, not as a way to open it. 1 2 5

Report an error

The Compliance Auditor

Named providers are documented: SSO login with Google Workspace, user and group provisioning with Entra ID and Okta, OAuth 2.0 as the business authorisation server, MFA protection and an integrated authenticator. But I found no public information on how the vault key is derived or released on the SSO path — the zero-knowledge statement is general — and none on FIDO2 or hardware keys, or on whether deprovisioning suspends vault access immediately. The identity plumbing is named; whether the vendor can derive the vault key under SSO is unanswered. 1 2 5

Report an error

The SME Owner

User and Group Provisioning with Entra ID and Okta is listed on the pricing page, SSO with Google Workspace is included on Teams, OAuth 2.0 is named for business authentication, and MFA protection is a listed feature. I found no public information on how the vault key is derived or released during an SSO unlock, or on FIDO2 hardware keys — that is the part I would need spelled out before trusting SSO for forty people. 2 5 1

Report an error

The DevOps Engineer

User and group provisioning with Entra ID and Okta, SSO login with Google Workspace, an OAuth 2.0 authorization server for business authentication, and MFA protection are all evidenced — that is a genuine identity stack, not a CSV invite. We found no public information on how the vault key is derived or released at an SSO unlock, on FIDO2 or hardware keys, or on what deprovisioning actually revokes, and for something holding root credentials I need that written down. 2 4 5

Report an error

The Skeptic

SSO with Google Workspace appears in a tier feature table, user and group provisioning with Entra ID and Okta is published, and OAuth 2.0 is named as the business authentication protocol. No captured page describes how the vault key is derived or released when a user signs in with SSO — the classic place vendors quietly keep half the key — and we found no public information on hardware-key or FIDO2 authentication or passkey unlock of the vault itself. 1 2 5

Audit logs, policies & reporting

Show reasoning
How this is scored

What an administrator and an auditor can see and enforce: event logs of access and changes, password health and breach reports, enforceable policies (master password, MFA, sharing, export), SIEM integration, and reports an ISO 27001 or NIS2 audit can use.

0 — No audit log and no admin policies; the administrator sees a user list.

3 — A basic activity list and a password-strength score, but no exportable log, no enforceable policies, and no record of who viewed or copied a shared credential.

5 — Event logs covering logins, item access, sharing and admin changes, exportable or available through an API, enforceable policies for master password and MFA, and password health and breach-monitoring reports.

8 — Native SIEM integration with named targets (Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, Elastic or syslog), policies for sharing, export and browser-extension behaviour, log retention stated, and compliance reports aligned to ISO 27001, NIS2 or BSI IT-Grundschutz.

10 — Auditability is complete: every view, copy, autofill and permission change logged with user and device, logs tamper-evident and retained for a configurable period, alerting on anomalous access, and an auditor role that can read logs without access to secrets.

Report an error

The CISO

Company-wide password rules, security settings applied to all users, an activity log with audit trails for every user action, password health and dark-web monitoring for company domains are all evidenced. I found no public information on exporting logs or feeding them to a SIEM, on log retention, or on reports an ISO 27001 auditor could take away. 1 2

Report an error

The Identity Engineer

The activity log is described as tracking every user action with full transparency and detailed audit trails, company-wide password policies are customizable, security settings apply to all users, and password health plus a breach scanner for company domains are included. What I found no public information on is any export or SIEM path for those logs, or stated retention — the pieces an ISO 27001 auditor asks me for. 1 2

Report an error

The Compliance Auditor

The administrator side exists: an activity log with audit trails claimed to cover "every action of a user", enterprise-wide password rules, security settings applied to all users, MFA protection, password health and a data breach scanner. For ISO 27001 or NIS2 evidence, though, I found no public information on exporting logs or feeding a SIEM, on retention periods, or on whether views and copies of a shared credential are recorded separately. As published, the log reads like a screen, not evidence an auditor can take away. 1 2

Report an error

The SME Owner

There is an activity log promising to track every action of a user with detailed audit trails, plus company-wide customizable password rules, security settings applied to all users, password health and dark-web breach notifications for company domains. I found no public information on exporting the log, connecting it to a SIEM, or how long events are kept — exactly what an ISO auditor will eventually ask me to produce. 1 2 5

Report an error

The DevOps Engineer

An activity log with audit trails for user actions, company-wide password rules, security settings applied to all users, password health and a data breach scanner for company domains are all on the pages. We found no public information on exporting logs or an API to them, SIEM targets, log retention, or policies for sharing and export, so an external auditor would get marketing summaries rather than evidence. 1 2

Report an error

The Skeptic

An activity log with audit trails for user actions, enterprise-wide customizable password rules, user activity monitoring, password health and a breach scanner for company domains are all on the public pages. We found no public information on exporting the log or sending it to a SIEM, no stated retention period, and no enforceable policy for sharing or export — so what an ISO 27001 auditor could actually pull out is unproven. 1 2

Hosting choice, offline access & export

Show reasoning
How this is scored

Where and how the vault runs and how the data leaves it: cloud region choice, a self-hosted or on-premises option, offline access during a vendor outage, client coverage across operating systems and browsers, and a complete, documented export and import path.

0 — Cloud only in an unstated region, no offline access, and no export or an export that drops attachments and shared items.

3 — Cloud with a region named, apps for common platforms, and an export in CSV only that leaves out attachments, folders, TOTP seeds or custom fields.

5 — An EU region or self-hosted option, offline read access on desktop and mobile, clients for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android and the major browsers, and an export that covers all item types including attachments.

8 — Both EU cloud and self-hosted or on-premises deployment documented, a status page with incident history, encrypted full-fidelity export and import from named competitors, and vault access continuing during an outage of the vendor's service.

10 — The customer can run and leave the vault on their own terms: self-hosting with documented high availability and backup, an open or documented export format that preserves structure, permissions and history, and a stated procedure for continued access if the vendor ends the service.

European sovereignty panel opinion

Show reasoning
How this is scored

Who the contracting entity and the parent company are, where vault data and metadata are hosted, and who the subprocessors are. Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline; end-to-end encryption narrows what a foreign authority could compel, but metadata, logs and the update channel for the client software remain in the vendor's hands, so the chain still counts.

0 — Non-EU vendor and contracting entity, hosting unstated, and subprocessors unnamed.

3 — An EU data region offered while the contracting entity and parent are non-EU without a stated safeguard, or the subprocessor list is absent.

5 — EU hosting as standard or selectable and an EU contracting entity, but the parent company or parts of the chain (support, analytics, email, client distribution) are non-EU.

8 — EU hosting on named infrastructure, EU contracting entity, subprocessor list published with locations, a DPA covering vault metadata and logs, and a self-hosted option that removes the vendor from the data path.

10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: European ownership, entity, hosting and every subprocessor, certifications published (ISO 27001, BSI C5 or equivalent), and source code or builds verifiable so the client update channel is not a blind trust in the vendor.

Report an error

The CISO

The captured pages never state where Nord Security Inc. is incorporated, ownership is unstated, and there is no subprocessor list, while vault items are stored in AWS data centres in both the US and the EU. The privacy policy names Google Analytics and sharing with service providers, Nord group companies and law enforcement, so the chain outside the vault is broad and undocumented. 1 3 5

The Identity Engineer

Vault items are described as stored across US and EU AWS data centers on a US provider, and the captured pages do not confirm where the contracting entity is incorporated or who owns it. Subprocessors appear only as categories in the privacy policy with no named list or locations, so the chain behind two thousand staff's vault metadata and logs is not visible to me. 1 3 4 5

The Compliance Auditor

Nord Security Inc. is the contracting party and controller, but I found no public information on where it is incorporated — the Vilnius group address is unconfirmed for this entity — so I cannot name the contracting entity's jurisdiction for an audit. Vaults sit on AWS in US and EU data centers, and the privacy policy names recipient categories and Google Analytics, but I found no public subprocessor list with locations. A data processing agreement is linked and incorporated into the terms — the one concrete safeguard — yet entity, ownership and the subprocessor chain remain unverified. 1 3 4 5

Pricing transparency

Show reasoning
How this is scored

Whether a buyer can compute the real annual cost from public pages alone: price per user and tier, which features (SSO, SCIM, SIEM, self-hosting) sit in which tier, minimum seats, add-ons, and the minimum term.

0 — No public prices at all; every tier is a sales conversation.

3 — A starting price exists, but which business features (SSO, SCIM, audit logs) sit in which tier is unclear — the invoice is unknowable.

5 — Per-user tier prices public with the main features per tier, but at least one commonly needed piece (SSO, SIEM integration, self-hosting, minimum seats) is unpriced or "on request".

8 — Every tier priced publicly with its feature set and seat minimum, add-on prices listed, self-hosted licensing stated, minimum term and VAT treatment given.

10 — Complete price computability: annual invoice derivable for a given number of users, with every add-on, self-hosting licence, support level and renewal condition published.
