Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use NordLocker for a pretty specific use case. New hires have government/DoD documents that they need to sign and submit for various roles. We previously used DocuSign for this but DoD does not allow it anymore. We switched to a SecNAS repository in AWS GovCloud but that required a reasonable expense plus individual VPN licenses. With NorLocker we can create temporary lockers, invite users to upload their secure documents, access those and then close the locker.

Pros

  • Interface is clean and modern
  • Meshes will with other Nord Products (we also use NordPass and NordLayer
  • Inexpensive cloud based End to End Encryption

Cons

  • Some of the features are 'coming soon'
  • Different learning curve for our use case (vs SecNAS or SFTP)
  • Confusing Master Password/Recovery Key/Access Key Scheme.

Return on Investment

  • We cancelled DocuSign largely because of NordLocker which has saved us thousands.
  • We also no longer host an AWS GovCloud instance which is not as expensive but also requires VPN traffic and licensing.
