Password Management Firm NordPass Launches EU Data Center

The password management company NordPass (Nord Security) announced that its business and enterprise clients can choose where they want to store their data – in USA or the European Union (EU) data center that the company just launched.

In addition, it passed new audits and introduced a new business subscription plan.

EU Data Center to benefit clients in Europe
With European firms required to comply with distinct privacy laws and regulations under EU jurisdiction, the company launched the EU data center, where its business and enterprise clients can securely store their data. Organizations newly on-boarding with the firm can now indicate their preference for storage location, be it USA or EU.

To date, companies’ data was stored solely in the US data center. However, with ever-stricter compliance requirements, this option rarely serves companies operating in the EU. To address this, NordPass offered a solution to choose a location that best aligns with a business’s operational and privacy requirements.

“More than ever, we feel that many companies are concerned about consequences for non-compliance. Therefore, due to the complexity of the legislative landscape, they tend to go for service providers that help address privacy policy requirements without much effort. We believe that the introduction of the EU Data Center adheres to our clients’ peace of mind,” says Karolis Arbaciauskas, head of business development.

Introduces new subscription plan for businesses
In addition to its business and enterprise tiers, NordPass introduced a new subscription option called Teams. The plan includes 10 seats with the pricing starting at €1.79 per user a month. Teams partly covers the business tier features, ensuring easier credential management, offering password policy enforcement, and password-related activities monitoring within the team.

Moreover, Teams customers can use the platform to create, securely store, manage, and share passkeys, considered the most promising authentication technology to replace passwords. The company’s passkey solution works across devices and OSs, regardless of an ecosystem. 

Passed new independent audits
Firm business recently successfully passed a SOC 2 Type 2 audit. Furthermore, independent auditors concluded that its business meets the security objectives outlined in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Privacy and Security rules, meaning it can ensure protection of health information. These achievements complement the prior company’s efforts that resulted in receiving the ISO 27001 certificate. In addition, the firm has been independently audited by Cure53.
