NordProtect, a data protection service that bundles several tools to safeguard against identity theft and online fraud, is now on the market. The bundle includes insurance products as well as some monitoring services from outside partners.
The main benefits of NordProtect lie in its ease of use and affordability. Subscribers have access to several monitoring features, including dark web and credit score monitoring, as well as insurance contracts that protect against identity theft and online fraud. For a fee of $16 per month or $84 annually, the basic subscription plan, Silver, offers these services.
Those who sign up for NordProtect also gain access to a VPN, which helps protect their data while browsing the internet. This is particularly useful for those who already use a VPN. On top of that, users will get insurance contracts as well as protection from a third-party service called Incogni.
However, when using NordProtect you might need to spend some time filling out online forms to provide your personal information in order to access the tool's features. These forms take up to 20 minutes to complete and are necessary because of the way data leaks have become widespread.
For users with a clear track record of monitoring their data, such as those who already use a VPN or a password manager, NordProtect offers little value since its features don't change the level of data protection offered by existing products.
A yearly subscription to NordVPN and Incogni would be cheaper than subscribing for a year to NordProtect. However, with these services, you won’t have access to the insurance part that comes with NordProtect’s premium plans.
The cost of NordProtect is around $16 per month or $84 annually, which may seem steep at first, but when compared to other similar data protection services on the market like Aura ($144), Norton Lifelock Ultimate Plus ($240) and McAfee Total Protect ($90), it seems reasonable.
