NordVPN, a cybersecurity company, has once again demonstrated its dedication to security and transparency by completing independent evaluations of its applications, browser extension, and different features. The security assessments, conducted by the German cybersecurity firm Cure53 between June and August 2024, reinforced NordVPN’s strong security posture and commitment to protecting user privacy.

“Security is at the core of everything we do at NordVPN. Independent assessments like this allow us to continuously refine our technology and stay ahead of emerging threats. The findings from Cure53 reinforced our strong security foundation, and our team swiftly implemented all necessary improvements to ensure the highest level of protection for our users,” says Marijus Briedis, CTO of NordVPN.

Cure53’s assessment included penetration testing and a source code review of NordVPN’s desktop applications (Windows, macOS, and Linux), mobile apps (iOS and Android), browser extensions (Chrome, Edge, and Firefox), and key features such as Threat Protection Pro™, Threat Protection, and Meshnet.

The findings confirmed that NordVPN employs well-established security-focused libraries that contribute to the overall strength of its system. The assessment also confirmed that NordVPN’s core VPN functionalities perform as intended, reinforcing the reliability of the service. As soon as Cure53 provided us with the recommendations, we immediately addressed the findings and strengthened the security of respective functions.

“Our work towards improving security is never finished, and we will keep moving forward. The latest Cure53 assessment confirms that NordVPN apps are built on a strong foundation with no critical risks. We are proud of these results and will keep making NordVPN one of the most secure VPN services available to everyone,” says Marijus Briedis.

In February, NordVPN also announced its fifth no-log policy assurance engagement. Deloitte, an industry-leading Big Four auditing firm, found that NordVPN’s customers are provided with a VPN service compliant with its no-logs policy.

With these latest assurance assessments, NordVPN continues to lead the way in cybersecurity, ensuring that its users benefit from cutting-edge security measures and unwavering privacy protections.
