Nord Security is the cybersecurity company behind NordVPN, offering businesses network access security and a password manager. For the store, two products matter: NordLayer, which secures how staff connect to company resources and the internet, and NordPass, which stores and shares passwords safely. NordLayer is Nord Security's take on the newer security model that moves protection away from the office perimeter and toward the user and the application, following zero-trust principles, so a remote worker gets the same controls wherever they are. Both products are software you turn on rather than hardware you install, which is the appeal for a company without a security team to run appliances. Nord Security states NordLayer protects more than 8,500 businesses and deploys in about ten minutes.
Best for
- Companies with remote or hybrid staff that need secure, controlled access to company systems and applications without shipping hardware to every location.
- Organizations that want to move toward zero-trust access, where a user's identity and device decide what they can reach, rather than trusting anyone on the network.
- Small and midsize businesses without a security team that want tools they can turn on and manage themselves.
- Teams that need employees to store and share passwords and sensitive data safely instead of in spreadsheets or browsers.
A company that needs a monitored, human-run security operation with active threat response is looking for a different kind of provider. Nord Security sells tools you configure, not a managed service.
What they offer
Managed Security. NordLayer is a network access security service built on the same technology as NordVPN, following the Security Service Edge model: it combines firewall-as-a-service, zero-trust network access and a secure web gateway to control who reaches which resources, filter web content, allowlist trusted IP addresses and segment the network. It is hardware-free and integrates with existing infrastructure. NordPass is a password manager for businesses, with end-to-end encryption for storing and sharing credentials and files across devices.

Managed Security
Good to know
- Nord Security's products are self-service software, not a managed security operation with a team watching your environment. Confirm whether you need someone to run and monitor them.
- NordLayer's numbers, including the businesses protected and the deploy time, are the company's own. Ask about the server locations and controls relevant to where your people work.

How buying works
The store is the easy part. Staying on the account is the job.
Anyone can show you logos. The reason to buy here is what happens on install night, and on the ticket you open nine months later.
