With the rise of remote working came a surge in cybercrime. Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks have seen a 150% year-over-year increase, so the odds are not in any business’s favor. However, staying vigilant and educated can protect your company and avoid such attacks. Keep reading to find out the main dangers business email accounts face and get 10 business email security tips.
What is Business Email Compromise (BEC)?
BEC is a type of cybercrime that involves impersonating a trusted business contact, such as a CEO or supplier, in order to trick employees into transferring money or sensitive information to the criminal’s account. These schemes often involve careful research and social engineering to create a convincing ruse.
According to the FBI, BEC fraud has cost companies over $26 billion globally since 2016, and the threat continues to grow. Small businesses are particularly vulnerable, as they may not have the resources or expertise to detect and prevent these attacks.
One example of a BEC scam involved the director of Puerto Rico’s Industrial Development Company, Ruben Rivera, who mistakenly made the transaction of $2.6 million to a fake bank account. In another case, Ubiquiti Networks Inc., the San Jose-based manufacturer of high-performance networking technologies, fell victim to a BEC attack that resulted in a loss of $46.7 million.
As the use of email continues to be an essential aspect of business communication, it is crucial for companies to remain vigilant and take proactive measures to defend against the threat of BEC.
Phishing is the number one email security threat
Phishing is a type of digital scam that is especially common in emails. It’s a form of social engineering where a hacker tries to deceive an employee into believing the email is coming from a credible source. Phishing emails usually have some sort of CTA: it’s like a form of marketing, if you will. Except that phishing CTAs usually involve clicking on a malicious link or revealing sensitive company data to outsiders.
Well, just like any other marketer, hackers employ creative techniques to improve the conversion rates of their scams. The more deceitful the email, the higher the conversion rate. That’s why phishing emails can be difficult to spot at times. Examples of phishing emails include:
Account verification scam. You may receive a phishing email that looks something like this: “Due to a recent security threat, we would like to ask you to verify your account by signing in through the link below. Failing to do so will result in the permanent deactivation of your account.”
Fake invoice scam. Hackers may send out emails saying, “We still haven’t received your payment for our services. Please use the link below to complete the transaction.”
Spear phishing. This is a more advanced and tailored form of phishing that requires hackers to do some research on your company. For instance, an employee may receive an email that looks like it’s coming from a specific coworker, instructing them to visit a website or disclose information.
Falling for phishing scams can expose your company to data breaches and malware. Taking steps to appropriately ensure the security of your email will help protect your business from phishing and other forms of cybercrime:
1. Conduct phishing awareness training
Emails usually get breached through employee negligence and lack of knowledge. So the first way to increase email cybersecurity is to raise awareness about the main threat: phishing. All employees should receive in-depth training on recognizing and avoiding attempted phishing schemes. The main points to cover here are:
Becoming familiar with the main phishing schemes
Being suspicious about unusual requests
Never clicking on random links received through email
Once employees are familiar with these precautions, your company’s susceptibility to phishing emails will significantly decrease and your business email security will improve in general.
2. Train employees on how to deal with email attachments and suspicious email links
Email attachments and suspicious links are the most common methods cybercrooks use to spread malicious software. Ensure that your employees are well aware of these devious practices and are trained to spot them in real-life situations. With time and a lot of practice, your team will develop a sense for suspicious email links and attachments, which should considerably lower the potential attack vector and significantly improve your overall security posture.
3. Enable multi-factor authentication
You can make your account safer from hackers by connecting your smartphone to your email. Even if the passwords to your email accounts are leaked, no outsiders will be able to access them without having access to the device it’s connected to. All vital business accounts, not just email accounts, should have multi-factor authentication enabled.
4. Avoid using email when on public Wi-Fi
Public Wi-Fi poses massive risks to email security. If it’s unencrypted (which it often is), anybody can connect to the same network. You never know when a hacker will be that someone.
If a hacker intercepts your connection with unencrypted public Wi-Fi and catches you logging into your email, they can steal your email password. It’s best to steer clear of public Wi-Fi altogether, but if connecting to it is necessary, never transmit important data while on it.
5. Avoid using business emails for private purposes and vice versa
Most office jobs these days come with an email address. Some people get the temptation to use the new email address for all sign-ins. Need to sign up for a new streaming service? Well, why not use your brand new business email for that? Everybody else does it, anyway, right?
At first, it might sound like a great idea. Yet using your enterprise email for private purposes and vice versa could cause significant security concerns for you as an individual and the company.
First, using a company email for your personal online activities allows for easier and simpler profiling. Consequently, that could lead to spear-phishing — a targeted phishing campaign or other targeted cyberattacks.
6. Encrypt company email
Encrypting company email using special email security software is a great way to steer hackers away. Encryption ensures that the only people able to view the emails are the sender and recipient. If a hacker intercepts an employee’s Wi-Fi connection or email account, they will not see any sensitive data.
7. Set up email security protocols
Email security protocols are immensely important because they provide an extra layer of security to your digital communications. The protocols are designed to ensure the safety of your communications as they pass through webmail services over the internet. Without the aid of email security protocols, bad actors can intercept communication in a relatively easy manner. Please familiarize yourself with different email security protocols and enable them to ensure secure communications.
8. Improve endpoint security
To further fortify your security stance, take action to improve your endpoint security. Often the easiest and most effective way to boost endpoint security is by implementing security tools for company-wide use.
Consider deploying a VPN like NordLayer — a tool that encrypts the internet connection and data transferred over your business network. Antivirus software is another tool that should be used on all business workstations to ensure a proactive defense.
9. Don’t change passwords too often
Password fatigue is a fact of life — today, the average user has about 100 passwords on their hands. Keeping track of all the passwords is a challenge.
The conventional wisdom regarding password security is that you should change your passwords every 90 days. While that might sound like a reasonable security practice, it could lead to simpler and easy-to-crack passwords being used.
If you know that your employees take password hygiene seriously and craft hard-to-guess passwords and that none of their passwords were ever leaked, then they should stick to the passwords they already use. If any password (no matter how strong it is) is leaked or breached — the change should be immediate.
10. Use strong passwords for email accounts
Strong passwords are the backbone of account safety. Yet businesses often fail to secure their emails with strong passwords. If your business is like this, you should know that the easier the password, the easier it is to hack, especially through brute-force attacks. Brute-force attacks are when hackers try to guess a password by flooding your account with thousands of attempts.
To protect your business email from such attacks, ensure everyone in your organization secures their passwords. Secure email passwords are:
Long
Complicated
Contain different types of characters
Unique (never reused from other accounts)
These points are crucial if you want to ensure the safety of your business. However, passwords that are difficult to hack are also difficult to remember. The last thing anyone would want is to secure their account so well that they couldn’t even access it themselves.
Luckily, the business password manager by NordPass can come to the rescue. If all members of your company use it for their accounts, their emails will be safe, and they won’t need to scratch their heads trying to remember their passwords.
Bottom line
Business email security is never a given. Even though platforms like Gmail or Outlook do their best to ensure the safety of their users, you can easily fall victim to hackers if you don’t actively protect your account. By following these five email security best practices, the chances of getting your business emails hacked will be much slimmer because hackers will likely prefer more vulnerable prey.

The consequences of non-compliance can be devastating.
In 2023, businesses have more to fear than just the formal penalties issued by regulatory or legislative entities. With cybercrime rates at a seemingly all-time high, and even once-trusted cybersecurity companies proving susceptible to breaches, organizations are on high alert.
Failing to comply is more than just a compliance issue or an unchecked box. It can represent an unchecked vulnerability that may give way to a data breach that will have your brand name on consumers’ lips for all the wrong reasons.
That’s why we invited two compliance and security experts to speak on the future and state of compliance. Here’s a short recap of the conversation moderated by Gerald Kasulis, VP of business operations at Nord Security, with:
Deena Swatzie, SVP, Cyber Security Strategy and Digital Innovation at Truist,
Joy Bryan, GRC/Privacy Technology Analyst, RNSC Technologies, LLC.
Kasulis asked the panelists astute questions about the implications of adopting tech powered by AI, the current corporate climate, and how businesses can prioritize compliance on a shoestring budget.
Watch the webinar recording in full right now or keep reading to find out three takeaways that will help kickstart or support your compliance agenda this year.
Increasingly savvy consumers will hold businesses accountable
When data breaches happen, usually it’s the consumers who suffer. The consequences range in severity and kind, but whether major or minor, reputational or financial, a violation of one’s privacy through personal data exposure is never a welcome outcome.
As businesses become hyperaware of the likelihood of a data breach, consumers are equally tuned in.
Consumers are getting smarter in that [data privacy] space. They’re going to expect more, they’re going to hold companies accountable. And so that’s why your compliance needs to be in place.
– Joy Bryan
GRC/Privacy Technology Analyst at RNSC Technologies, LLC
Consumers are more likely than ever to want assurances that their personal data will be kept safe as concerns surrounding data privacy become more mainstream. They want to know how their information will be stored and what measures businesses are taking to protect it.
In today’s climate, trust is a linchpin of customer satisfaction. A recent survey revealed that 71% of consumers are unlikely to buy from a company that loses their trust — which is bad news for businesses that have suffered major breaches.
Meeting compliance standards and earning certifications can be a shorthand for establishing (or re-establishing) customers’ confidence: this ensures that businesses are following the agreed-upon best practices in a verifiable way.
At the end of the day, the buck stops with corporations who collect and store personal data. They will be held accountable for their (in)ability to protect the data they keep.
“Consider yourself as the consumer,” says Swatzie. She suggests that businesses should use the golden rule as a framework — treat consumer data as you would hope and expect yours to be treated.
Additional resources may not be the answer
Even when we talk about talent and the workforce, everyone’s immediate response is ‘we need more resources.’ You don’t always necessarily need more resources.
– Deena Swatzie
SVP, Cyber Security Strategy and Digital Innovation at Truist
Swatzie explained that it’s important to understand what exactly is required to meet compliance standards so that you can balance what you have with what you need. Here, collaboration between teams is key. Security and compliance initiatives will overlap.
Both experts agree that it’s best to start by looking at in-house tech and talent before making an investment. And on the occasion when you do require an additional resource, like software, be sure that you’re adopting tools that serve multiple functions.
I think that whatever platforms and technologies are implemented should have a collaborative feel — where you’re tackling multiple things at once.
– Joy Bryan
GRC/Privacy Technology Analyst at RNSC Technologies, LLC
NordPass Business, for instance, delivers so much more than password management. Get a powerful data breach scanner, password health metrics, a detailed activity log, company-wide advanced security settings, and multi-factor authentication.
On the topic of breaches, take solace in NordPass’ zero-knowledge architecture which ensures that only you hold the key to your business credentials and vault items. In the unlikely event of a breach at NordPass, your private information will remain encrypted and out of reach to cybercriminals.
New investments in tech solutions should add value to what many teams are likely to prioritize the most: workflow efficiency. Consider how and whether security and compliance tools speak to that need.
Get into the nitty gritty. Take the time to consider your existing and prospective tools’ full scope to avoid overinvesting in overlapping functions.
According to Swatzie, “Privacy is everybody’s responsibility. Security is everybody’s responsibility. Compliance is everyone’s responsibility.” For that reason, it’s important not to take buy-in for granted with a top-down approach.
Ask yourself: will my team be open to adopting this policy or software? Does it promote or detract from their respective top priorities?
The word of the day is “proactive”
If we had to summarize the experts’ advice in just two words: be proactive. Specifically, on the topic of lessons learned from a turbulent 2022:
I would hope that in terms of lessons learned, it allows businesses to be a little bit more proactive in their approach and in their strategies.
– Joy Bryan
GRC/Privacy Technology Analyst at RNSC Technologies, LLC
If your compliance and security strategy is only reactive, then it shows a lack of forward-thinking, meaning you’re likely to be continuously caught off guard and lagging behind. Swatzie suggests that compliance professionals and business leaders “put on their auditor hat.”
I’m used to being heavily regulated and audited so I’ve learned enough from the auditors to know exactly what they’re going to ask me before they ask me. So going back to what Joy said earlier, be as proactive as possible.
– Deena Swatzie
SVP, Cyber Security Strategy and Digital Innovation at Truist
Where possible, brace your business for what’s likely to come down the compliance pipeline by studying the standards themselves. With an intimate understanding of the “spirit of the law” you should be able to intuit what’s next and prepare accordingly.
That being said, it’s not a lack of motivation that leaves security and compliance professionals in a reactive position. When it comes to cyber incidents, board and senior leadership members sometimes struggle to see prevention as the cure — waiting until after an event has occurred to implement more stringent security measures.
To learn more about how to get buy-in from colleagues and management before the fact, read our guide on how to campaign internally for cybersecurity.
Summary
Facing increasingly savvy and appropriately demanding consumers, businesses should understand that they will be held accountable for breaches of personal data and plan accordingly.
But, that doesn’t necessarily mean rushing to acquire additional talent and technological resources. Invest wisely and make it count. In particular, security software should be multi-functional.
Finally, the key to success is in forward-thinking. Adopt a proactive strategy to avoid a constant scramble to respond after-the-fact.

About NordPass NordPass is developed by Nord Security, a company leading the global market of cybersecurity products.

You lightly place your thumb at the bottom of your phone screen and, lo and behold, it’s unlocked instantly. So why can’t we do the same at the bank or when logging in to Twitter or YouTube? Well, soon we’ll be able to do it all. The passwordless future is inevitable and it’s almost here.
At NordPass, we’re thrilled to be creating a passwordless future. But what is passwordless authentication? How does it work? Let’s answer these questions.
Why should we consider going passwordless?
Year after year, we see either “123456” or “password” top our Most Common Passwords List. Millions of people reuse absurdly simple passwords across multiple platforms, even though they are very easy to crack by using a dictionary or brute force attacks. It makes passwords (and the people using them) one of the weakest links security-wise in any company or service.
Weak passwords are just part of the problem. The way we treat passwords is an issue as well. One of the worst password sins that all of us can attest to is reusing passwords. Having a single password to secure multiple accounts is a huge security risk, to put it mildly. In such instances, a single compromised account indicates that all of user’s accounts are essentially compromised as well.
The solution lies in biometric authentication and passkeys, which combined become one of the safest and smoothest passwordless authentication options available.
Passkeys: The key to passwordless authentication
In an age where technology usage continues to rise, the need for secure and efficient authentication methods becomes all the more pressing. Passwords, which have long reigned supreme as a solution for securing online accounts, have over time proven to be unreliable and susceptible to hacking. In turn, many organizations and companies have been looking for new, more efficient, and robust ways to authenticate users.
One organization at the forefront of the effort to go passwordless is the FIDO Alliance. The alliance works with various companies, including NordPass, to develop and promote open standards for passwordless authentication.
According to the FIDO Alliance, the technology set to replace passwords is passkeys. Passkeys are digital credentials that are generated by the user’s device. Usually used in combination with biometric data, such as a fingerprint or facial recognition, to offer an extra layer of security, passkeys provide access to websites and other online services.
What passkeys bring to the table
One of the major advantages of passkeys is that the private key, which is used to generate the passkey, never leaves the user’s device. This makes it almost impossible for attackers to gain access to the key through phishing or other forms of cyberattack. Furthermore, passkeys are almost impossible to hack, making them more secure overall.
Unlike traditional passwords, passkeys are invisible to the user and are never revealed or entered manually.
Going passwordless will also improve user experience. A fingerprint scanner, for example, is a fast and reliable authentication method. It would also mean that there would be no more password reset procedures — IT departments throughout the world will be very grateful. Also, when it comes to biometric authentication, you don’t need to remember anything. You won’t have any Post-its on the computer screen or notes in your planner. You can’t lose, steal, or forget your fingerprint.
Room for improvement for current passkey-based authentication
Right now, passwordless authentication is gaining major traction among such tech giants as Microsoft, Apple, and Google. All of these companies have been introducing passwordless authentication solutions, and in most instances the solutions include the use of passkeys.
However, current passkey-based solutions have a long way to go. At the moment, these solutions limit users to a single ecosystem, which makes it difficult to share them between, say, an Android user and an iOS user. In addition, the current solutions do not offer any kind of sync with password managers.
But this is where NordPass comes into play. We are currently working on integrating passkeys into your favorite password manager.
Introducing passwordless authentication to NordPass
At NordPass, we’re excited to be at the forefront of the passwordless revolution. And by early 2023, NordPass is set to introduce passwordless authentication both for individuals and businesses.
Passwordless access to NordPass
We are currently working on enabling a passwordless sign-in to NordPass. It will be a faster and simpler process than the one now, since it will require a single biometric confirmation. In simple language, this means that you will be able to access your Nord Account and NordPass with a single tap of a finger. You read it right. No more manually entering your Nord Account and Master Password each time you need to log in. Passwordless access to NordPass is set to significantly improve user experience and overall security.
NordPass passkey storage
All NordPass users will have the ability to save passkeys for any website or app in the encrypted vault and use them to access those online services later. With NordPass, you’ll be able to use, share, and sync passkeys between multiple devices and platforms, whereas many passwordless authentication solutions tend to lack such functionalities. This will make NordPass a single place for all of your digital valuables, including passwords, passkeys, credit cards, and other sensitive information.
Passwordless multi-factor authentication (MFA) for businesses
Password-based authentication is still the industry standard. However, due to the inherent vulnerabilities that come with password-based authentication, most businesses face a variety of cybersecurity risks. To significantly reduce the risk of suffering a phishing or an account takeover attack, businesses need to rethink their security approach with regard to access to endpoint devices such as laptops, desktops, workstations, and mobile devices as well as applications that leverage regular passwords or even single sign-on solutions.
With the introduction of passwordless MFA, we’re looking to help businesses improve their overall security stance by eliminating the need for passwords and introducing an authentication method based solely on biometrics.
Passkey integration for online service providers
The world is already moving rapidly towards a passwordless future. Unfortunately, not everyone can adapt smoothly and efficiently. Many small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) lack the resources and know-how to implement passkey authentication for their users. However, at NordPass we’re ready to leverage our security expertise to make the transition from passwords to passkeys as smooth as possible. We believe that the frictionless user experience offered by passkeys across multiple platforms and devices, combined with superior security, will help your business increase conversion rates, user engagement, and user satisfaction.
You can expect big things as early as 2023. So stay tuned, and be prepared for the inevitable passwordless future – it’s just around the corner.

So what’s the deal with password sharing? Would you give your partner the password to your banking account but not your phone? Is laying all your codes on the table a sign of trust or a massive security risk? Should couples share passwords at all? While it can help to build trust with a partner, sharing your passwords isn’t always the best idea.
We are asking some basic questions on a very touchy subject just to help keep your security tip top. Don’t worry — we’re not judging your loving relationship. We just believe in safety precautions no matter what, and you will too once you get a dose of reality from these not-so-lovely situations.
It’s all about how you share them
Sometimes the risk isn’t who you share your password with, but how you do it. Sharing your passwords over the internet, whether over unencrypted email or messaging apps, is like sharing them in plain view of the world. The next time you think about doing this, remember that any of the following situations can take hold (without you even knowing).
Your messaging app may not be as honest as you think. A messaging app without end-to-end encryption has full access to everything you send. End-to-end encryption means that the only person who can read your message is the person you send it to. Sounds like a given, right? Not when you consider the genuine possibility that your messaging app could be giving employees access to your private conversations.
Man-in-the-middle attacks. It’s true, attackers lurk in the middle of an exchange waiting to steal vital information, like passwords, credit card numbers, addresses… you name it. Without end-to-end encryption and zero-knowledge architecture, your credentials could be exposed, and a cybercriminal could be in and out of your bank account within seconds.
The easy way to share passwords securely
Looking at the potential risks that one might face when trying to share passwords online, it is quite natural to question whether couples should share passwords at all and is it worth the risk? The good news is that there’s a way to share passwords securely.
Obviously, the best defense is encryption. A messaging service or website using end-to-end encryption makes sure your data is kept safe from attackers. Password managers like NordPass help you store and share your passwords in a completely secure way.
With NordPass, encryption happens on your device, scrambling your data into gibberish before it even reaches the servers. This way everything you send remains locked, even from us – until it reaches your verified recipient.
NordPass Family is a great way for couples, families, or even groups of friends to further improve their online security. The Family plan comes with six Premium accounts and includes all the advanced security features. Best of all — you’ll be able to share passwords with other NordPass users instantly and effortlessly without sacrificing security.
The takeaway
Matters of the heart aside, always think twice before you send a password by text or messaging apps. Even if the service offers encryption, subpar ciphers and weak protocols can be broken by even a mediocre cyberattacker.
Sending a password securely with NordPass is easy. It locks your sensitive credentials in an encrypted vault. You can select them from a simple drop-down list and send in complete confidence.
The internet’s primary concern and priority is functionality. Your security and privacy probably aren’t. Don’t risk all of your accounts over something as small as sending a password.

No big announcements from us this time. However, we hope you’ll still enjoy an updated NordPass version with fewer bugs and better autofill.
NordPass 4.25
Our bug busters have been working hard since the last time you heard from us. That’s why today we can proudly present another NordPass release with even fewer bugs. We hope you’ll like it.
NordPass 4.24
Building good things takes time. So since the last release, we have mainly focused on catching and eliminating pesky bugs.
NordPass 4.23
We’re happy to present you with a new NordPass release. Here’s what we’ve got this time:
UPDATED PASSWORD INFO. Now you’ll get more guidance on making your passwords more secure. Open any of your passwords, and you’ll see whether it’s been reused on other accounts or it’s too old and needs changing.
BUG FIXES. Rome wasn’t built in a day. Therefore, we continuously aim to catch pesky bugs and provide you with the best password management experience.
NordPass 4.22
Here’s what you’ll see in the new NordPass release:
SWITCH ACCOUNT. A long-awaited feature is here! If you have a few NordPass accounts, like personal and business, switching between them will now be a breeze. Just click on your profile account and look for a “Switch Account” button.
LITHUANIAN LANGUAGE. For our Lithuanian friends out there, you can now use NordPass in your mother tongue. Simply head to Settings to change the language.
BUG FIXES.
NordPass 4.21
Our bug busters have been working hard since the last time you heard from us. That’s why today we can proudly present another NordPass release with even fewer bugs. We hope you’ll like it.
NordPass 4.20
We’re happy to present you with a new NordPass release. Here’s what we’ve got this week:
CARD PIN. From now on, you can also add your PIN when saving card details. Don’t worry; it won’t be autofilled. It’s for your reference only.
DELETE CLIPBOARD SETTING. When you copy your password or other item data, it’s normally saved in the clipboard. To avoid pasting it somewhere you didn’t intend; you can now choose the clipboard to clear after a set time.
BUG FIXES.
NordPass 4.19
It’s international women’s day! So we want to take this opportunity and say thank you to all the beautiful women who tirelessly work at NordPass. It wouldn’t be the same without you.
P.S. We mainly focused on fixing bugs this time, so we hope you like a better running app.
NordPass 4.18

SUBDOMAIN SORTING IMPROVEMENTS. From now on, if you have multiple items saved for one domain, the account with the matching subdomain will be shown first.
BUG FIXES.
NordPass 4.17
Did you know that January has a Blue Monday – the most depressing day of the year? The good news is it’s over. But if you’re still feeling a little bit blue, here’s a few things we’ve updated to hopefully cheer you up.
Safari import. You can now import passwords saved in Safari straight to NordPass.
Data Breach Report update. If your password appears in a Data Breach report and you update it on the website, select “Resolve” and the same details won’t appear next time you run the report.
Bug fixes. Caught many annoying bugs that hinder your experience.
Some write songs, some dedicate sonnets, some built monuments. We create release notes to honor each update of NordPass app for Windows, macOS and Linux. A single click of that magical “Update” button unlocks the newer, faster, better-performing world of stress-free password management.
NordPass 4.16
As Christmas is over, it’s time to make some New Year’s resolutions. But why wait? We want to become a better, smoother-running, and more user-friendly app now. We have strived for perfection since NordPass was launched, and this week is no exception. So we present you a new NordPass version with fewer bugs and more Autofill fixes.
NordPass 4.15
A good beginning makes a good ending, so why not start a week with a new NordPass release? Here’s what we’ve got this week:
BREACH SCANNER UPDATE. If your password was leaked in a data breach and you’ve reused it on other accounts, a new ‘Accounts at risk` tab will appear. There you’ll see a list of accounts that may be vulnerable. Don’t wait for a second and change their passwords to prevent cyber attacks.
AUTOFILL UPDATE. We’ve fixed a ton of autofill bugs so you’d have a smoother autofill experience on even more websites.
NordPass 4.14
We know that sometimes life throws challenges right at you. At those times, the last thing you want to think about is how and where to access your passwords.
That’s why from now on, you can give emergency access to your passwords and other items. Choose a person you really trust and invite them to be your emergency contact. Once they accept it, you can give them access immediately or wait for 7 days to be given automatically. Note: You can only give emergency access to another NordPass user with a Personal or Family plan.
NordPass 4.13
Trick or treat? Who are we kidding? It’s always just treated here at NordPass. So here’s our Halloween treat to you – a brand new NordPass release. Don’t worry, nothing to be scared of—just a smoother running version of your password manager.
NordPass 4.12
Tired of too many emails and banners? We get you, and we want to improve our communication with you. That’s why from now on, a lot of important information will appear as in-app notifications. So if you open the app and see a red dot next to a bell icon, just know that it’s something important from us to you.
P.S. We also solved a number of bugs.
NordPass 4.11
Getting your data stolen isn’t nice. But if that happens to you, it’s important to identify the stolen information and act quickly. That’s why with this release, Data Breach Scanner has gone even better. How?
If your data has ever appeared in any breach, you can now use the Breach Scanner to identify not just what type of data was leaked, but also see it in plain text. This includes passwords, your address, social security number, birth date, and other data types.
In addition to all this, we are continually working to improve one of our core features – Autofill. So expect to see more websites working flawlessly with NordPass.
NordPass 4.10
Can’t find tools to improve your password security? We got you. You’ll find security tools such as Password Generator, Data Breach Scanner, and Password Health in the sidebar from this release. More accessible to access and easier to use.
We also solved some pesky bugs to make your NordPass experience more enjoyable.
NordPass 4.9
What do you have in the box this time NordPass? Well, let me see…
Title and website address suggestion. That’s right, now when creating a new item, you only need to enter a few letters in the Title or Website address fields, and NordPass will suggest filling it with one of the thousand popular websites.
Spanish and Italian languages are now available on the NordPass extension.
Bug fixes, bug fixes, and more bug fixes.
NordPass 4.8
It’s August my friend. And you know what August is good for? Learning new languages.
Hablas español? Parli italiano? If you do, lucky you. Because you can now use NordPass in Spanish and Italian. Enjoy!
NordPass 4.7
Did you know that no one else has the same fingerprint as you? That’s why it’s the most unique password you can have. Dedicated Mac users, this release is for you. Yes, you can now sign in to your NordPass app with a fingerprint. Feeling like James Bond yet? We are!
P.S. We also solved a ton of pesky bugs to make your experience smoother than ever.
NordPass 4.6
Dear bugs, it’s time. Time to say goodbye. It won’t be the same without you. It will be better. The password managing experience will be much greater now.
NordPass 4.5
It’s officially summer, NordPass people! (Or winter, if you live in the southern hemisphere.) Wherever you are, we hope it’s sunny so that you can enjoy the brand new release. Here’s what we’ve got:
MULTIPLE ITEM SHARING. Sharing is caring, right? Well, now you can select multiple items and share them all at once. Easy peasy. Just always make sure you trust the people you share your credentials with.
PASSWORD GENERATOR HISTORY. You know that moment when you create a super-strong password with the NordPass Generator and forget to save it? Yeah, we’ve been there too. That’s why you’ll now see a little clock icon in your Generator where you can check your previously generated passwords.
BUG FIXES. And, of course, we won’t release a new NordPass version without getting rid of as many bugs as possible.
NordPass 4.4
“Speed” was the main keyword at NordPass this week. So what to expect in this release?
Updated designs so you could find your passwords or any other items at the speed of light.
Tons of bug fixes and maintenance work so that your app would work faster than ever and would be as pretty on the inside as it is on the outside.
NordPass 4.3
Don’t worry if you missed the chance to get NordPass Premium for less. The Summer Kick-Off Sale is here! Use this offer to get access to all the amazing Premium features.
Also, we have a little something for our Business users. From now on, all members who are added or removed from groups will be notified by email.
NordPass 4.2.18
Hello, world! We’ve prepared a nice little juicy pack of updates – just for you. Please give a warm welcome to:
Double EXTENSION-upgrade: from now on, not only it speaks German fluently but also is available in Dark Mode. Ready to give some rest for those sore eyes?
A new ge-ne-ra-tion for stronger passwords! Check out the PASSWORD GENERATOR to enjoy shiny new looks and (finally!) PASS-PHRASES for nice-and-strong-memorable-passwords.
NordPass 4.1
We are working hard on bringing Dark Mode to the NordPass extension. In the meantime, we are also doing some good old maintenance work. So expect to see some design changes in the browser extension and forget the existence of annoying bugs.
NordPass 4.0
Today is the day! You know what we are talking about. You asked for it; we delivered it. And oh boy, how good it looks! You’ll believe it once you see it.
OK, we recommend sitting down for this one. Then open your NordPass app, update it to the newest version and enjoy the shiny new DARK MODE.
And if that doesn’t impress you, well, then we have more news. You can now use NordPass in German. Whether it’s your mother tongue or just want to polish your German skills, you can now change your language preference in Settings.
NordPass 3.31
This time we’ve got many design changes to make your life easier. So let’s get to it. Here’s what you’ll see in this release.
TOAST MESSAGES UPDATE. Some of the success messages, such as when you import items or update your app, were outdated, so we made them easier to understand.
MULTISELECT REWORK. We noticed that the sorting option was missing when multiple items were selected. We introduced this option and changed long-winded buttons to visually pleasing icons.
BROWSER EXTENSION UPDATE. You can now access Tools from the NordPass extension, including the Password Health and the Data Breach Scanner.
NordPass 3.30
Are you ready to switch off the lights? Because Dark Mode is coming very very soon. We are working hard to make sure everything looks perfect for the release. A few more things, and we are done. Keep your eyes peeled.
In other news, we fixed some annoying bugs we found in Groups and took care of other bugs.
NordPass 3.29
Sometimes what we do is either too difficult to explain or too difficult to see. Yes, you guessed it. This week we put all our effort into finding and getting rid of bugs. We hope we’ll have something more exciting for you next week.
NordPass 2.34
NordPass has gone through some serious spring cleaning with this release. Why do we say so? Here’s what we did:
B2B GROUPS BUG FIXES. It’s new, fresh, and now with fewer bugs.
APP BUG FIXES. We’ll never give up on perfecting NordPass.
EXTENSION DESIGN REWORK. So much better looking now! You have to see it to believe it.
And something exciting is coming up very soon. So stay tuned. 😉
NordPass 2.33
This time, we’ve got good news for Business users. Let us introduce GROUPS. Admins and Owners can now assign members to groups and share passwords with a number of people instantly. Think, your finance department sharing login details every accountant needs to access.
Anything else? Of course, we got rid of more nasty bugs.
NordPass 2.32
Happy April Fool’s! Stay vigilant, and don’t get tricked by any hackers. Keep your passwords safe with an updated NordPass app. Here’s what we’ve got this time:
CHANGES TO MASTER PASSWORD CREATION. Now it’s easier to understand what that mysterious Master Password is and how it is different from your Nord Account password. BUG FIXES as usual.
NordPass 2.31
It’s spring! Flowers are blooming, birds are chirping, and NordPass is releasing another update. In this release, you’ll find: KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS. You can now use CTRL + F to search your items and CTRL + L to lock your app instantly. BUG FIXES. No bugs allowed here.
NordPass 2.30
NordPass bug hunters strike again. Yes, you guessed it. We got rid of more pesky bugs so you could enjoy an even smoother experience with NordPass. That’s it for now!
NordPass 2.29
“Could NordPass be any better?” asks our team every single week. And the answer never changes. YES, it can!
But it’s not always about new features and crazy advancements. Sometimes it’s all about perfecting those nitty-gritty details. So this week, we say another goodbye to a bunch of bugs. Bye, we won’t miss you.
NordPass 2.28
Another week, another release of a better, faster, and more secure NordPass app. And for this we say a BIG thank you to our bug hunters (aka developers). You guys rock.
NordPass 2.27
If NordPass was a dog, what would he say to a flea?
Stop bugging me.
The good news NordPass doesn’t need to endure nasty bugs. Bye-bye, bugs. We don’t wanna see you no more.
NordPass 2.26
Ready, set, new release! What can you expect to see in the new and shiny NordPass 2.26?
EXTENSION REWORK. Updated, upgraded, and overall better-looking browser extension. But what did we actually do? Well, we just made it even more similar to your desktop app, meaning more functional and easier to use. Voila!
BUG FIXES. Can you tell we don’t like insects? No bugs are allowed in our app. Yuck.
NordPass 2.25
It’s a very special day today. We thought about it over and over again. We were constantly considering, overthinking, and having sleepless nights about it. We even visited a fortune teller to ask if you’ll like it, or not. Yet still, our developers were nervously (but carefully!) coding that code.
And here it comes. A sincere love letter. In PDF format. Containing your Recovery Code. Save it, delete it, save it again, print it – do whatever you want, but please, keep it safe. And don’t show to anyone else! It was created from the bottom of our hearts to express how much we LOVE YOU.
Take care!
And don’t forget to update the app to get those extra bug fixes.
NordPass 2.24
Once upon a time, in a faraway land, a password manager named NordPass lived. His goal was to become the best password manager that there ever was. And he did it one release at a time.
He proudly presents his latest achievements:
AUTOSAVE AND PASSWORD EDIT UPDATES. Now it will be easier to understand when NordPass is prompting to update an old password or when it is offering to save a new one automatically.
HELP SECTION ADDED TO SETTINGS. If you need help using NordPass, head to Settings to be directed to the Help Center.
COPY CHANGES. Salvador Dali might have said not to fear perfection as we’ll never reach it, but we’ll still give it a good go.
BUG FIXES. No need to call the pest control officer; we got it fixed.
NordPass 2.23
AbraCadabra boom! No, it’s not magic. It’s just your passwords and personal information filling in quicker and smoother than ever before. Bye-bye, annoying bugs who tried to stop you. What else can you expect in this release?
ONLINE/OFFLINE INDICATOR appears in the NordPass extension.
COPY CHANGES to make the app easier to navigate.
MORE BUG FIXES.
NordPass 2.22
New Year, new NordPass release. Here’s what you’ll see in the latest version:
EASIER LOG IN WITH NORD ACCOUNT. We tweaked the steps you take logging in to NordPass for a smoother experience.
BUG FIXES, because no one likes bugs.
RECOVERY CODE PDF. You will now be able to download your Recovery Code in PDF. Keep it somewhere safe. 😉
NordPass 2.21
Yeah, Christmas will be different this year. But we’ve still got something to spread a little cheer.
In this release, you will see:
ICONLESS ITEMS STYLING. Your passwords that don’t have dedicated icons will light up in a variety of colors.
BUG FIXES. Well, it cannot be called a release without bug fixes, right?
NordPass 2.20
“You guys give up? Or are you thirsty for more?” – Kevin, Home Alone, 1990
That’s the NordPass spirit, Kevin! We’ve got more:
Design changes. Yes, the sky’s the limit for our designers, sorry.
Password Generator update. Did we mention that it’s important to have long and unique passwords?
Browser extension update. Easier to understand, prettier to look at.
NordPass 2.19
I don’t want a lot for Christmas There is just one thing I need I don’t care about the presents Underneath the Christmas tree
Don’t want NordPass for my own More than you could ever know Making this wish come true Giving a bug-free NordPass for you
P.S. Thanks Mariah Carey for inspiration.
NordPass 2.18
NordPass has turned 1 year old this week. Just on time for Thanksgiving, can you believe it? And we can honestly say this year we are the most grateful for YOU, our dear NordPass user. You, who believed in us and drove us to release one update after another.
So here’s one more. Full of even more design edits, bug fixes, and love:
LOGINS TURN TO PASSWORDS. Now all across the app, you’ll see the term “Password” instead of “Login” because it’s just easier to understand.
CHOOSE FOLDER WHEN AUTOSAVING to organize your passwords there and then.
RENEWED IMPORT. Importing passwords in bulk is now easier than ever.
MINOR DESIGN CHANGES because, let’s be honest, who doesn’t like a good-looking app.
NORD ACCOUNT DEEPLINK FIXES. No more accidental logouts when you use NordVPN and change your IP.
NordPass 2.17
Xmas is in less than 35 days. You’re welcome.
In other news, our designers, developers, and copywriters are presenting you with another brand new update. This time we fixed the annoying-forever-loading spinner, made minor changes to the way you see your items’ details, and updated the copy to make your app even more easier to navigate. Until next time 😉
NordPass 2.16
We know you have better things to do (like keep up with the news on the current presidential election. Yikes, so intense!). So we thought, ‘who are we to bombard you with more messages?’. Poof! Your login and logout messages are gone.
To make your day a little bit brighter, we also made some improvements to your items layout. And we can describe it with just one word – SLEEK. You’ll believe it when you see it 😉
And NordPass update wouldn’t be an update without bug fixes. We did the dirty work and crushed them once again.
NordPass 2.15
Trick or treat? Treat, always. We might be a few days late to any online Halloween party, but, to make up for it, we are bringing new treats to your desktop app:
ADD ITEM IN FOLDER. You can now add items straight from your folders. Easy, breazy, and all your items are organized.
ITEM DETAILS FIXES. “There is no limit to perfection!” screams the NordPass design team. Your items will now look more beautiful than ever.
OTHER LITTLE BUG FIXES. Little bugs and spiders might fit the Halloween theme, but they don’t look good in your NordPass app. We got rid of them to make your experience smoother and safer.
NordPass 2.14
Providing high-quality password-managing experience, routine maintenance and working under-the-hood is just as essential as releasing a new shiny feature. So nothing grand this time — just the usual bug-fixing and design-improving business. We’re packing and sending best wishes along with app improvements your way!
NordPass 2.13
BUG FIXES. Sometimes you couldn’t scroll down to the end of your passwords list. You simply couldn’t. The good news is that we did some magic tricks, so now you can.
BUG FIXES. We’ve also changed the font style, the button style, and the spacing style in the context menu of your passwords list (not exactly a bug, but we wanted to keep the release notes in style).
BUG FIXES for everyone.
BUG FIXES. Sometimes you couldn’t scroll down to the end of your passwords list. You simply couldn’t. The good news is that we did some magic tricks, so now you can.
NordPass 2.12
When life gives you Monday, we release the app update. Let’s see what we’ve got:
IN-APP NOTIFICATIONS sometimes were over-competitive and tried to overlap each other. Someone smart once said that the best way to kill competition is to partner it. So after some inspiring conversations about team spirit, the attitude was fixed – all notifications now act super friendly.
DESIGN BUG FIXES. Yes, sometimes bugs may look stylish. Even pretty. They are still bugs – and they are out now.
PASSWORD HEALTH IMPROVEMENTS. The development department was very excited about changing something with the algorithm. All I know is that the health of your passwords will be calculated even more accurately. I only write release notes – please don’t judge me. And have a nice day!
NordPass 2.11
Hey there! How are you? Ready for the update? Let’s go:
BREACH REPORT. This one feels like a lottery. By clicking a ‘Scan’ button, you can find out if any of your accounts were ever caught in data breaches. However, it probably is the first lottery where it’s better not to ‘win’ anything.
DESIGN IMPROVEMENTS. They see you scrollin’, they hatin’, – because scrolling with that new scroll bar has never felt so good. Just give it a go.
NordPass 2.1
Another week – another update. Let’s roll!
DESIGN IMPROVEMENTS. Yes, we did it again. We’ve played with UI, got lost in perfecting the details. Oh, baby baby. Yes, the item lists now look neat, the font is sent from above. It all looks perfect now!
PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS. Let’s be honest – after entering your Master Password to unlock the vault, the app window was getting overexcited and moved all over the place. Not that it was a bad thing – but those moves really weren’t good. So, we’ve sent the app to some dancing classes. The result – the app learned some solid, stylish but still moves – more like JLo style.
NordPass 2.9
Faster than light. Supersonic. Fleet-footed. Pronto. Winged.
We’ve spent hours trying to find the right word to describe the improved speed of opening your passwords (and other items) in the vault, but none of them was good enough. They say that action speaks a thousand words, so enjoy viewing your items at full speed.
NordPass 2.8
Passwords are more human-natured than you could possibly think. They need a safe and cozy place to stay. Most of them eat well (cheat days included 😉 ) and constantly work out to become faster and stronger. However, sometimes they also may feel weak and unwell, so regular health check-ups are crucial. Luckily, we’ve found an easy way to maintain their well-being – set up a password health checker in the app. Take a chance to make your precious passwords happier (and accounts safer) without leaving the house.
Stay safe, everyone!
NordPass 2.7
The idea of throwing this party came out of thin air. Why not, we thought – work hard, party harder, right?
So we’ve ordered lots of food and drinks (everyone was curious seeing what new employees look like when they’re drunk), brought in a magical photo booth (making selfies was too mainstream), and prized trivia (to avoid awkward silences), and live music by our beloved DJ “Vibe Manager”.
Time flew, the party’s got in full swing (no one seemed to be running out of things to talk about – phew). Even NordVPN and NordLocker stopped by. After a not-work-related heated discussion about data privacy and online security, they promised to join our “Tools” department. Like, forever.
Autofill department surprised everyone with funky moves – those icons felt like dancin’ till the break of dawn. It was fun until the ‘fun’ went out of control – and out of login fields. Luckily, after taking a chill pill, everything’s got back in order.
By the way, some unwanted URL spaces were trying to crash both the party and the app. That’s kind of rude, so we’ve asked them to leave.
We’ve finished with a small team-building session with cleaning the office – it’s now nice and clean – and so is the app (we hope so).
That’s it – peace out!
NordPass 2.6
Our engineers are all about perfection. They literally were calculating coordinates for pixel-perfect autofill icons placement. However, some “wind of change” has happened, and those icons ended up finding their home OUTSIDE the login fields. Sorry for that – this unforgivable mistake was fixed.
Also, some sneaky, crawly, totally gross bugs were caught and removed. The app is much better without them – enjoy!
NordPass 2.5
This release contains some behind-the-scenes magic, usual tinkering-under-the-hood and minor design tweaks. By hitting the “Update” button, you will get one step closer to top-notch password-managing experience. Stay well!
NordPass 2.4
They say – small changes make a big difference. Behold – the update with a bunch of app upgrades is here. Let’s see what we’ve got here:
VISUAL IMPROVEMENTS. Mirror mirror on the wall, who is prettiest of them all? Well, our designer’s brush made some magic tweaks, so the answer is clear now – it’s those tiny cute little app icons. Lookin’ good!
APP LOADING FASTER. Need for speed? You’re welcome! Fasten your seatbelt and put the pedal to the metal – the project “Make the app faster” was completed successfully.
BUG FIXES. Dear sneaky bugs, thanks for visiting, farewell, let’s never meet again.

About NordPass NordPass is developed by Nord Security, a company leading the global market of cybersecurity products.
The web has become a chaotic space where safety and trust have been compromised by cybercrime and data protection issues. Therefore, our team has a global mission to shape a more trusted and peaceful online future for people everywhere.
On December 22, 2022, LastPass announced that a data breach first disclosed in August 2022 was far more extensive than initially thought. The news sent shockwaves through the industry, leaving many password manager users — especially LastPass users — concerned about the security of their sensitive information.
The breach serves as a stark reminder that no online service provider may be completely bulletproof breach-wise. So today, let’s get into the LastPass data breach and what it means for NordPass users.
The LastPass data breach breakdown
Cybercriminal activity has been on a steady rise for the last decade, and it looks that the trend is not about to change. In fact, today, cybercrime is the most lucrative criminal activity and is estimated to cost the world $10.5 trillion annually by 2025.
So as our personal and financial information is increasingly getting stored online, it is critical that companies take all necessary steps to protect their customers’ data. Unfortunately, the recent LastPass data breach shows that even well-known companies can fall short security-wise.
The company’s latest statement explains that an unauthorized party was able to access LastPass’ cloud-based storage environment and copy customer vault data along with information from a backup of customer account information.
The extent of the breach is not yet clear, but it is likely that it included some personally identifiable data such as email addresses, phone numbers, and billing information for some users.
The response from LastPass to the breach has been met with criticism from both industry experts and customers. In fact, it has already led to a class-action lawsuit, with one plaintiff alleging that the data breach resulted in the theft of around $53,000 worth of Bitcoin.
Did the LastPass data breach affect all password manager users?
Let’s be clear — the LastPass data breach does not have any direct effect on NordPass, its users, or users data.
After all, we’re two different companies and products with completely different security approaches and mindsets. However, we admit that seeing a competitor affected by a breach of this magnitude is an acute reminder to stay vigilant and prepared at all times.
Is NordPass a secure place for your digital valuables?
Given the severity of the LastPass data breach, it’s only natural that people are questioning the security of their password manager, including NordPass.
First, one of the key elements of NordPass is that it is a zero-knowledge password manager equipped with an advanced encryption algorithm known as XChaCha20 to ensure protection of everything you store in NordPass.
This means that all data stored in the NordPass vault is first encrypted on your device and only then sent to the cloud-based server. Because of the way NordPass is set up, it is only you — the user — who holds the decryption key and has access to everything stored in their vault.
The NordPass team can’t see or access anything. The same principle applies in situations of breaches. Even if a bad actor were able to get their hands on your vault data, they would still need your device, which holds the decryption key, to access the actual contents of the vault data.
NordPass CTO Tomas Smalakys offers a more detailed explanation:
Each NordPass user has a unique public-key cryptography key pair. The Public Key is always stored in plaintext form. The Private Key, on the other hand, exists in plaintext form only on the user’s end device for a limited period of time and never leaves it.
When we need to store a user’s Private Key, it’s encrypted with secret-key cryptography (XChaCha20-Poly1305-IETF) on the user’s device and only then passed to us. While the app is unlocked, the unencrypted Private Key is stored in the secure memory accessible only to the NordPass application. When the application is locked, either by the user or automatically after a set period of inactivity, the Private Key is deleted from the secure memory.
For the user’s Private Key encryption, the Master Key is used. The Master Key is derived from the Master Password and a 16-byte unique-per-user cryptographic salt using the key derivation function (Argon2id). We ask the user for the Master Password every time we need to decrypt the user’s Private Key.
– Tomas Smalakys
NordPass CTO
Tomas further explains that in addition to the encryption principles above, every item (folder, password, credit card, etc.) has two types of data:
For secret-key (symmetric) cryptography, we use an authenticated encryption algorithm:
XChaCha20 stream cipher encryption.
Poly1305 MAC authentication.
For public-key (asymmetric) cryptography, we use an authenticated encryption algorithm:
X25519 key exchange.
XSalsa20 stream cipher encryption.
Poly1305 MAC authentication.
User data is encrypted on their devices and never leaves the device in plain text. This means that when the data is in transit or at rest, it is fully encrypted. In the database, both metadata and secret data is encrypted. This means that if bad actors are able to get access to the database or any of its backups, no user data can be accessed.
Furthermore, at NordPass, we feel that due to the nature of our product, our security practices should be transparent. Both NordPass and NordPass Business have had their security posture thoroughly audited by Cure53, a renowned German auditing firm.
NordPass Business has also successfully passed the SOC 2 Type 1 Audit, which ensures that NordPass Business provides proper security controls to manage customer data and protect their interests with regard to privacy.
All these measures help to ensure that the sensitive data stored in NordPass vaults is protected at all times. However, these days bad actors are creative and no longer function as a one-person operation. So it’s always important to be vigilant with your own security and use strong, unique passwords for each account as well as enable two-factor authentication whenever possible.
Bottom line
It remains to be seen how the LastPass breach will impact the company and the password management industry as a whole, but one thing is clear: it has shaken user trust and serves as a cautionary tale for the importance of data security.

Designed to ensure the safety and security of an organization’s operations and protection of its customers, regulatory compliance standards are a fact of life in today’s business world. Fail to comply and be ready to face serious financial, legal, and reputational harm to your organization.
Today, we’re taking an in depth look at regulatory compliance, exploring different standards, and looking into how NordPass Business can help your organization meet the requirements in an easier and more efficient way.
What is regulatory compliance?
Regulatory compliance refers to various processes and procedures of adhering to the laws, regulations, and standards set by various governing bodies. The regulations can come from numerous sources such as local, state, federal, or even international agencies, industry groups, and professional associations. The intention behind various regulatory compliance is to protect consumers and other stakeholders.
Importance of regulatory compliance
The aim of regulatory compliance is to make sure that businesses and organizations operate in a secure, responsible, and ethical manner. Regulatory compliance can also provide businesses and organizations with a competitive advantage by helping to create a culture of transparency and credibility with customers, employees, and other involved parties. Furthermore, adhering to regulatory compliance can improve internal processes, risk management procedures, and mitigate potential legal issues, which in turn lays a great foundation for a sustainable organization.
However, it’s critical to remember that most regulatory compliance is mandatory. Failing to comply with any of the mandatory regulations can result in hefty fines. For instance, Google has been fined nearly $57 million by French regulators for violation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Meta — the company formerly known as Facebook — recently has been fined over $400 million by top EU regulators for forcing users to accept targeted ads.
Besides financial losses, non-compliance can cause major damage to the organization’s reputation as clients may lose trust in the organization. This can even lead to serious legal issues.
Below are some of the most common regulatory compliance standards.
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is a US federal agency that develops technology, metrics, and standards to drive innovation and ensure operational security within a business environment. NIST compliance is mandatory for all US-based federal information systems except those related to national security. However, the standard can be adopted by any organization.
To be NIST-compliant, a company needs to implement access controls to limit the risk of unauthorized access, develop a comprehensive incident response plan, and devise audit procedures and schedules.
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a data protection law that applies to businesses and organizations operating within the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA). It sets out rules for how organizations can collect, use, and store personal data, and provides individuals the right to access and control their personal data.
To adhere to the GDPR, organizations and businesses need to implement measures such as obtaining consent from individuals before collecting their data, providing clear and concise information about their data collection practices, and implementing appropriate security measures to protect personal data.
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a US law that sets out standards for the protection of personal health information. The law applies to healthcare providers and all other entities that handle personal health information in the US.
To meet the requirements set out by the HIPAA, organizations need to implement secure systems for storing and transmitting personal health information, providing training to employees on HIPAA requirements, and implementing access controls to prevent unauthorized access to personal health information.
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of security standards that apply internationally to organizations that handle credit card transactions. The regulatory standard sets out requirements for protecting cardholder data and preventing unauthorized access to such data.
The PCI DSS regulations require businesses and organizations that process payment card information to implement secure systems for storing and transmitting cardholder data, conduct regular security assessments, and implement further security controls to prevent unauthorized access to cardholder data.
ISO/IEC 27001
The ISO/IEC 27001 is an international standard that outlines best practices for an information security management system (ISMS). The standard has been developed to help organizations protect their information assets and manage risks related to information security. The ISO/IEC 27001 is not a mandatory requirement.
To meet the ISO/IEC 27001 compliance, organizations need to conduct regular risk assessments, implement controls to protect against unauthorized access, and regularly review and update their information security management systems.
California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a privacy law that in many ways mimics its European counterpart — the GDPR. However, the CCPA applies to businesses operating in California and it provides California residents with the right to access and control their personal data, and imposes certain requirements on businesses that collect and handle personal data.
For an organization to be CCPA compliant, it needs to implement security measures to protect customer data. Furthermore, companies are also required to provide clear and concise information about data collection practices, allowing California residents to request access to and deletion of their personal data.
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA)
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) is a US law that applies to financial institutions within the US. Like many of the regulatory compliance standards we already discussed, GLBA requires financial institutions to implement safeguards that would protect personal information as well as to disclose their data collection and sharing practices to customers.
To comply with the GLBA regulatory standards, financial institutions may need to implement secure systems for storing and transmitting personal financial information, providing customers with information about their data collection and sharing practices, and implementing access controls to prevent unauthorized access to personal financial information.
Center for Internet Security (CIS)
The Center for Internet Security (CIS) is a nonprofit organization that provides cybersecurity guidance and best practices to help organizations protect their systems and data. The CIS comprises 18 Critical Security Controls for identifying and protecting against the most common cyber threats.
To be CIS compliant, companies and organizations need to establish a comprehensive cybersecurity perimeter to ensure protection of their data and information management systems.
Opinion 498
The Formal Opinion 498 outlined by the American Bar Association (ABA) provides guidance for US-based lawyers and law firms with regard to virtual practice. While the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct permit virtual practice, the Formal Opinion 498 provides an additional set of guidelines for virtual practice.
To follow the guidelines set out by the Opinion 498, organizations or individuals are urged to establish secure information management systems and protect them with complex passwords to ensure secure storage and access to client data.
Agence nationale de la sécurité des systèmes d’information (ANSSI)
ANSSI compliance combines a set of security standards set by the French National Cybersecurity Agency. The ANSSI has been developed as a regulatory standard in France to protect sensitive information and systems from cyber threats such as hacking, malware, and data breaches. Companies that store and handle sensitive information may be required to comply with the ANSSI standards in order to ensure the security of that information.
Compliance with the ANSSI standards may involve regular audits, penetration testing, and other security measures to identify and address vulnerabilities in a company’s systems.
How can NordPass help with regulatory compliance?
Meeting regulations and staying compliant can be a complex and time-consuming process, as businesses and organizations must stay up-to-date with the latest regulatory requirements and implement appropriate policies, procedures, and tools.
However, with the right tools at your disposal compliance can be less of a hassle than you might think. One such tool is NordPass Business — a secure and easy-to-use password manager designed for business use and it can help your organization comply with the security guidelines and requirements outlined in the regulatory compliance standards listed above. But how exactly can it help?
Strong passwords and secure password storage
Most regulatory compliance standards require organizations to implement some sort of security measures to limit the possibility of unauthorized access.
For instance, PCI DSS, GLBA, GDPR, and CIS Controls all have outlined guidelines for ensuring the security of personal data processing and storage.
This is where NordPass comes in as a tool that can help. Designed by the principles of zero-knowledge architecture and equipped with an advanced XChaCha20 encryption algorithm, NordPass offers a secure way to store and access business passwords and other sensitive information in line with regulatory requirements.
Password Policy — a NordPass Business feature — can also play a critical role in compliance. Using Password Policy, companies can set certain specifications for password complexity for the entire organization, which can significantly fortify the overall security of the organization.
To easily follow Password Policy rules and specifications, users can use our very own Password Generator — a tool that can generate a password adhering to all the specifications outlined in the Password Policy in just a few clicks.
On top of that, NordPass Business can ensure that all of your organization’s passwords are stored securely and in line with the regulatory requirements.
Secure access management
Some compliance standards require organizations to implement secure access management solutions. For example, this is the case with ANSSI compliance as well as with HIPAA and NIST.
Here NordPass Business and its Admin Panel can play a major role because it is designed to provide organizations a way to effectively and easily manage access privileges across the entire organization.
Via the Admin Panel, solution owners and admins can grant or revoke access to systems as well as monitor member activity within the organization. The Admin Panel is also the place where you can set the Password Policy for the organization, ensuring that passwords throughout the company adhere to certain specifications.
Breach Monitoring
Regulatory compliance standards also tend to outline best practices for responding to a security incident such as a data breach. This is explicitly outlined in the GDPR’s Article 33, which states that data breach including personal data breach should be reported within 72 hours to the supervisory authority. Failing to do so may result in a fine of 10 million or 2% of annual revenue.
NordPass Business is equipped with a Data Breach Scanner — a tool that can scan the entire company’s domain list for potential breaches. Because the Data Breach Scanner issues a notification to all members of the organization, the company potentially affected by a breach can act quickly and efficiently to contain it.
The NordPass Password Health tool can help you detect potentially weak, old, or reused passwords throughout the organization and significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized access.
Bottom line
These days, regulatory compliance is an inseparable part of running a business. Fail to comply and be ready to face hefty fines and serious reputational damage. However, compliance is never easy. But with the right tools at your disposal, the whole process can be a lot smoother.
NordPass Business can be a tool to assist organizations in meeting various requirements in an easier and more efficient way. By staying compliant, organizations can not only avoid costly fines and legal issues, but also gain a competitive advantage by building a culture of transparency and credibility with their customer base or investors.

You’d be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn’t care about their privacy. It’s human nature. You want control over what private information you share and who you share it with. Unfortunately, you can lose this control with a careless click.
What is private data?
Private data is anything that reveals information about you. It can be your name, your photos, your posts on social media, your email addresses, or your IP.
Some of these details are highly sensitive, including your banking information, genetic data, health records, social security number, and home address. As a rule of thumb, any information that could cause you financial or reputational damage can be considered sensitive.
What is data privacy and why is it important?
Data privacy, also known as information privacy, generally refers to a person’s right to choose for themselves when, how, with whom, and to what extent they want to share their private data with others.
As internet usage has become ubiquitous over the years, so has the importance of data privacy and protection. Various websites and applications often collect your private data in exchange for its services.
Some platforms and applications may exceed their reach when it comes to data collection, storage, and usage. Others may have a lax attitude toward private data protection.
The key questions to ask when talking about data privacy are:
Who has access to information about you?
Who controls this access?
Is it secure?
When private data falls into the wrong hands, consequences can be dire. A data breach on an online platform could put your sensitive information into the hands of cyber crooks. Users whose data is leaked are put at risk of identity theft, bank fraud, and other online-related scams and crimes. These days, data is king and there’s no way around it. Thus, it’s not surprising that protection is paramount.
Your privacy in the hands of the government
Various entities handle your private data. First – the government and its institutions. Let’s take the justice system as an example. You cannot go to court or file a claim without revealing your identity. And that’s fine — it wouldn’t be fair to the other side if you were suing them anonymously.
Similarly, you can’t get public services (for example, electricity, a high school education, or healthcare) without identifying yourself.
In a perfect world, the government does not infringe upon your privacy more than necessary. In the real world, some governments store every bit of data they can get their hands on. Even worse, others engage in mass surveillance of their citizens.
Your privacy in the hands of businesses
You can buy apples at a fruit stand and remain a stranger to the vendor. But buy apples online, and you’ll give away private information about yourself. It may be a fact as simple as you liking apples. This information will be sold to an advertiser, and the next time you go online, an ad for apples will pop up on your screen.
Almost everything you do online leaves a data footprint. You have little control over how your digital footprint is collected.
Usually, it works like this. Before you start using a new online service, you have to read a wall of fine print. But you don’t, because who has time to wade through paragraphs of legal jargon? You click “Agree,” and that’s how you begin to give away your private data. The agreement can’t be changed, and you cannot bargain — take it or leave it. This service will collect your data and use it for marketing purposes or sell it to the highest bidder. And there’s nothing you can do.
It’s easy to say “Don’t use these services.” The problem is that most online services collect information. If you want none of your private data on the internet, you have to quit using the internet. And that’s a price most people find too high to pay.
Data protection laws
Over the years, as technology and the internet came to be an inseparable part of our lives, governments around the globe took part in creating and passing laws regulating private data. Most countries today have various laws governing data collection, storage, and usage. Here are some of the most important and impactful ones:
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
The GDPR regulates data privacy laws across all EU member countries. It was designed to replace previous data regulation laws and provide greater protection and rights to individuals, essentially giving subjects the right to control their personal data and ensuring the right to be forgotten. The GDPR also outlines how individuals’ private data should be collected, stored, and used as well as outlining the limitations. The GDPR is one of the most impactful and comprehensive regulations developed in the past decade.
Data privacy laws in the US
At the moment, the United States has no federal law or legislation that comprehensively addresses data privacy. However, individual states have enacted their own laws and regulations to address issues of data privacy in different industries such as healthcare, finance, and marketing. But, even with all these different laws and regulations, there’s still one important agency that helps to make sure everyone is following the rules.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is the agency that oversees data privacy regulations and ensures consumer protection. The FTC Act grants the organization the authority to prevent unfair or deceptive trade practices and enforce privacy laws.
The FTC can take action against organizations that fail to implement reasonable data security measures, violate consumer data privacy rights, or engage in misleading advertising practices.
There are also other federal laws that govern the collection of information online, such as the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the Health Insurance Portability and Accounting Act (HIPAA), the Gramm Leach Bliley Act (GLBA), the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). These laws focus on ensuring the protection of specific types of information, such as data related to children, health, and finances.
National data protection laws
Many countries around the world, including Australia, Canada, and Japan have comprehensive data protection laws in place that outline the ways personal data should be handled, much like the GDPR.
Important data privacy and protection trends for 2023
Increasing use of AI and ML in data protection
As we move into 2023, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in data security and privacy is becoming increasingly prevalent. AI can be a powerful tool for protecting consumer privacy.
In 2023 we’ll start seeing an increase in the use of both AI and ML to proactively identify and prevent cyber threats and detect patterns that may indicate a potential data breach.
However, data protection through automation has not yet advanced as much as we would like. Nevertheless, in 2023 and beyond, we can expect to see significant improvements in this area as the technology matures and becomes more suited for ensuring the privacy and security of sensitive data.
Data security and privacy will be a priority for consumers
Because data breaches are more common and sophisticated than ever, consumers are unsurprisingly becoming more vigilant about the security of their personal information. Increasingly more people these days are being selective about who they trust with their data. A company’s data-sharing practices and policies now are a crucial factor for many consumers.
In 2023, businesses should be ready for increased scrutiny around their data security and privacy practices. If you are a company that looks to succeed this year, it is vital for you to earn and maintain the trust of your clientele by being transparent about your data protection approach. Trust is a two-way street, and in today’s digital age, it’s more important than ever.
Increasing collaboration between government entities and private companies
Because a decrease in cyber criminal activity is nothing we can bet on in 2023, expect to see heightened levels of collaboration between private companies and government entities aiming to improve data security and privacy.
The collaboration between private and government entities may take many forms, from joint research and development of new security technologies and processes, to more information-sharing in an effort to craft well-rounded regulatory mechanisms.
The rise of passwordless authentication and regulation of biometric data
Passwordless authentication methods are already gaining popularity due to their convenience and security benefits. In 2023, we can expect to see more online service providers adopting various forms of passwordless authentication.
The major advantage of passwordless authentication is that it eliminates the need for users to remember and manage multiple passwords. Additionally, passwordless authentication greatly reduces the risk of password-related security breaches. However, most passwordless technology leverages biometric data for authentication purposes and 2023 might be the year when we will see more regulatory entities coming up with standards and requirements to ensure the secure storage and handling of biometric data. We might see laws and regulations establishing best practices as well as penalties for entities that fail to comply with such standards.
What can you do to protect your data privacy?
Information privacy will become an even hotter topic once technologies create more invasive tools. You’ll be surrounded by facial-recognition cameras, smart speakers that listen to your conversations, e-textiles, wearable health monitors, and other data-gathering gadgets.
That means you must take action now:
Foster healthy online habits. Refrain from publicly sharing your personal information on social media. Leverage privacy settings and make your social media profiles private to limit exposure. Be weary of attachments or links in emails that come your way from unknown senders. Make use of multi-factor authentication (MFA) and enable it on your online accounts whenever possible. Use strong, unique passwords for all your accounts and employ a password manager to securely store your passwords and other sensitive information.
Use tools and services that enhance your privacy. Choose private search engines, private email providers, and privacy-focused browsers. And use encryption tools — they’re much more user friendly than they sound. NordPass itself uses state-of-the-art encryption to protect your passwords. In addition, NordVPN makes sure your traffic is invisible to your internet service provider.
Don’t need it? Then don’t use it. Don’t sign up if you don’t really need the service. And if you do need it, read the fine print before clicking “Agree.” If the fine print is too complicated, look for comments and reviews regarding the service’s privacy policies.
Fight for information privacy and make the internet better for all.

Buongiorno! What a year this was for Italy. First the Eurovision, then Euro Cup, and now, coincidence or not, NordPass. Yes, you are right, you can now use NordPass in Italian, and it doesn’t matter if you are enjoying the sun in Rome or simply practicing your Italian skills. You can change your language preference in Settings.
And of course, what release is without bug fixes? We crushed them too.
NordPass 3.16
Hey NordPass user, do you like scrolling? Not when I’m looking for a password, you will say. Yeah, we thought so. That’s why we introduced a quick scroller. Now when scrolling through your items, you’ll see that they are grouped. Go on, find your passwords with ease.
P.S We have also resolved those pesky bugs. Bye-bye, bugs.
NordPass 3.15
Searching for bugs… Loading… Loading… Bugs found… BUGS FIXED!
*Works only if you install the update first to put those BUG FIXES in place. Stay safe and happy!
NordPass 3.14
Sharing is caring, right? Well, now you can select multiple items and share them all at once. Easy peasy. Just always make sure you trust the people you share your credentials with.
NordPass 3.13
You know that moment when you create a super-strong password with NordPass Generator and forget to save it? Yeah, we’ve been there too. That’s why you’ll now see a little clock icon in your Generator. Tap on it to see previously generated passwords.
And, of course, we won’t release a new NordPass version without getting rid of as many bugs as possible.
NordPass 3.12
You want strong and unique passwords, simple – you generate them with the Password Generator. But what if you want a strong password you need to remember? Yes, we thought about this too.
So in this release, you’ll see some changes to your Password Generator. Now you can generate passwords made out of words, spaces, hyphens, and much more. How cool is that?
NordPass 3.11
We’re coming back with a bunch of updates to help you make your accounts even more secure.
PASSWORD HEALTH INTEGRATION. You can now see how healthy your password is by opening the item — no need to go to Password Health. If your password could be stronger, you’ll see “weak, old, or reused” next to it.
P.S. There’s more. We’ve fixed a ton of autofill bugs for a smoother login experience.
NordPass 3.10
Are your passwords healthy or vulnerable? If you haven’t checked it yet, now is a good time. We’ve just revamped the Password Health tool, and it’s looking better than ever. It’s so much easier to use too. Check it out.
Anything else? Of course! Our team is continuously working on improving the Autofill feature so that you’d have a smooth one-click-to-login experience.
NordPass 3.9
If you haven’t tried the Breach Scanner yet, now you have a reason. We completely revamped the design. Oh boy, it looks even more pleasing to the eye.
What are you waiting for? Go and make sure your accounts are secure.
NordPass 3.8
Bonjour. Comment ça va? Yes, our French-speaking friends, this release is for you! NordPass is now available in French. Head to Settings and change the language.

B2B GROUPS. NordPass Business users say hello to Groups. Now it will be easier to share passwords with a group of people all at once. Think, your Marketing or Finance department.
NordPass 3.7
Sometimes what we do is either too difficult to explain or too difficult to see. Yes, you guessed it. This week we put all our effort into finding and getting rid of bugs. We hope we’ll have something more exciting for you next week.
NordPass 3.6
Sprichst du Deutsch? Then we have good news for you. You can now enjoy NordPass in German. Just go to your settings and change the language.

COPY CHANGES to help you navigate through the app.
AUTOSAVE ISSUES FIXED to help you save those passwords in a click.
BUG FIXES. Because no release is complete without them, right?
NordPass 3.0
Where’s the drumroll, please? You ready? You’d better sit down for this one. I’m serious; sit down. OK, you’re finally sitting.
I’m just scared you’ll fall and hurt yourself once you hear this, that’s all. Oh, I know. It’s so annoying when someone is creating tension but not telling you what this is all about, right?
Ready, set, new release! What can you expect to see in the new and shiny NordPass 2.17?
AUTOFILL FIXES. Slowly but surely, we are conquering the net and one website at a time, making signing in easier than ever. Magic x2!

NordPass 2.15

NORDPASS BUSINESS AVAILABLE ON ANDROID. Business people beware, it’s your time to shine. Fill in passwords on mobile browsers and apps (like a boss!), sign in to your accounts with a fingerprint (like a boss!), and never ever have those dreadful phone calls with Brian from IT because you forgot your computer password after a long long holiday (Ouch!).
NordPass 2.8
SECURE NOTES FORMATING – FIXED. It looks like we’ve accidentally deleted text formating options on a previous app update. Sorry about that! Formating is back and now ready for your bold, italic or quoted notes more than ever before.
DESIGN IMPROVEMENTS. A little treat for eagle-eye users – please welcome those charming menu icons and precise text formatting.
AUTOFILL IMPROVEMENTS. No app update was or will be released without this one.
BREACH REPORT. Now this one may feel like a fun lottery, except the fact that it’s probably better not to ‘win’ anything. By clicking a ‘Scan’ button, you can find out if any of your accounts were ever caught in data breaches. Fingers crossed, they’re not.

NordPass 2.5
NORDVPN. Nobody likes snoopers – especially online ones. Luckily, VPN helps. Look for getting NordVPN in Menu – surf the Internet privately, no matter where your path may lead you.
AUTOFILL IMPROVEMENTS. Every time you tap NordPass icon to autofill, there’s an actual person who copies and pastes your login details. Wait, do they see your passwords?! No, of course not – they are trained to work wearing blindfolds. We hired more people to this department, so “auto”fill is now way better.
NordPass 2.4
