See how NordProtect and Aura compare on identity theft protection and credit monitoring.
Both deliver identity theft protection with credit monitoring, dark web monitoring, alerts, and identity theft recovery services. Both Aura and NordProtect offer three-bureau credit monitoring and financial account monitoring. However, NordProtect costs less for solo users, especially on longer plans.
NordProtect’s Platinum plan includes online fraud insurance (up to $10,000), cyber extortion insurance (up to $50,000), and cyberattack recovery (up to $10,000). In contrast, Aura’s individual plan offers identity fraud monitoring and expert restoration support, but does not include explicit cyber extortion or cyberattack reimbursement limits.
NordProtect Gold and Platinum bundle NordVPN with Threat Protection Pro™ to block malware, ads, and phishing as you browse. Aura includes a VPN, antivirus software, and a password manager, but NordProtect pairs directly with the Nord Security ecosystem many users already trust.
NordProtect Platinum includes Incogni, which facilitates your data removal from people-search sites. Aura offers automated data-broker opt-outs, but Incogni’s dedicated service gives NordProtect users a simple, set-and-forget way to reduce exposure.
NordProtect brings identity theft protection, credit monitoring, and dark web monitoring together so you can spot and stop issues fast.
Get three-bureau credit monitoring along with dark web checks and clear steps to handle suspicious activity.
Use credit lock and credit freeze assistance to secure your credit file. View your monitored data, such as Social Security number (SSN), phone numbers, and credit cards.
Get up to $1,000,000 in identity theft recovery coverage for eligible out-of-pocket expenses and lost wages, plus up to $10,000 in online fraud insurance and up to $50,000 in cyber extortion insurance.
On the Gold and Platinum tiers, use NordVPN with Threat Protection Pro™ to block malware, phishing, and ads. You can also pair them with other Nord Security tools like NordPass — a password manager — and NordLocker — encrypted cloud storage.
The Platinum subscription includes Incogni, which requests removals from people-search and data broker sites to help keep your personal data out of easy reach.
Add your emails, phone numbers, credit cards, and SSN, enable multi factor authentication, and start receiving security alerts you can act on.
Get guidance through identity theft recovery steps and insurance claims so you’re not dealing with fraud alone.
Start protecting your identity with NordProtect in just a few easy steps.
NordProtect from Nord Security, the global brand behind NordVPN, combines powerful protection with a user‑friendly experience, allowing anyone to safeguard their privacy and identity online with a few clicks.
If you want an identity theft protection service with credit monitoring and dark web surveillance at a lower monthly price, NordProtect is a strong pick. It adds online fraud coverage and cyber extortion protection on top of identity theft insurance (up to $1,000,000). You can also bundle it with NordVPN and Incogni on higher tiers, and you get a 30-day money-back guarantee to try it first.
NordProtect focuses on three-bureau credit monitoring and adds extra coverages like online fraud coverage and cyber extortion protection, and optional Nord Security tools (a VPN, a password manager, and encrypted cloud storage). Aura includes three-bureau credit monitoring and financial account monitoring by default and offers a multi-user family plan with higher total insurance coverage.
Both NordProtect and Aura are identity theft protection services that monitor your identity details, run dark web checks, send security alerts, and include identity theft protection, offering identity restoration help and credit freeze assistance. Each supports core identity monitoring and credit reports updates, and both can pair with device-level security tools.
For a single adult, NordProtect typically costs less per month (especially on longer plans). For households that need three-bureau credit monitoring and financial account monitoring for multiple users, Aura’s family plan may make more sense. If you’re undecided, start with NordProtect’s 30-day money-back guarantee and see how the alerts and dashboard fit your routine.
