Granular policy controls: a flexible way to manage company-wide settings

When you’re ensuring thorough organizational security, company-wide settings can be a tricky business. You need them to be strict enough that all employees must comply with the rules, but you also need just enough flexibility to ensure everyone accesses sensitive information on a need-to-know basis.

To help organizations manage their internal security with more flexibility, NordPass offers granular policy controls—an addition to company-wide settings that lets companies assign more precise access controls to employees based on their needs and responsibilities.

What are granular policy controls and why are they necessary?

Organizations often face the challenge of determining the appropriate security measures across teams and individual employees. While globally applied policies can seem like the optimal option, in reality, they may grant overextended access to employees who should otherwise be restricted from accessing certain rights or advanced tools. This lack of access restrictions on a privilege level can lead to mismanagement and open up the organization to security risks.

NordPass tackles this issue, allowing businesses to control their security practices and access management as they see fit. With this functionality, organizations can set specific security policies at the organizational, role, or individual user level. This ensures that all employees can work efficiently based on their duties, setting a higher security standard in the organization.

How do granular policy controls work?

Granular policy controls are available with the NordPass Business, Teams, and Enterprise plans. The granular adjustments are managed by organization Admins and Owners using the Admin Panel based on member scope and particular policies.

Granularity scope

Before the introduction of granularity, all policies in NordPass were set globally, meaning that all organization members received the same access privileges without exception. With granular controls, Admins and Owners can set more precise access rights for members based on three criteria: whole organization, roles, or individual users.

Policy scope

The scope also is flexible across different policies. For instance, if only your Legal and Sales teams need access to the Guest Sharing policy, you limit it so that only select employees or teams with the appropriate role can access it. You can also flexibly adjust the requirements individually; for instance, employees in more sensitive roles may be required to adhere to a stricter password policy than staff in other roles.

The NordPass granular policy controls apply to the following company-wide settings:

Password Policy: you can customize and enforce password rules for the organization or different roles.
Guest Sharing: you can allow or disallow the ability to share sensitive information with contacts outside the organization.
Exporting: you can allow or disallow members of the organization to export sensitive data.
Autolock: you can define different inactivity periods before NordPass is automatically locked for different roles and individuals.
Browser extension lock: you can control browser extension behavior and set whether it can remain unlocked based on the role or individual member needs.
Multi-factor authentication (MFA): you can enforce MFA to ensure a higher security level for the organization, specific roles, or selected employees.
Email Masking: you can allow or disallow the organization, select roles, or individual members to use decoy email domains to protect their work email accounts.

The benefits of granular policy controls

NordPass’ granular policy controls solve a massive issue for business security: companies are no longer forced to apply global policies. Each team can adapt to higher security standards as role-specific rules reduce the likelihood of miscommunication and accidental or malicious access to sensitive materials.

Organizations that handle sensitive information can impose stricter and more accurate data management practices. With granularity ranging from the individual to the full organization, it offers an easier way to delegate security-related roles and responsibilities, such as sharing data with external partners.

Establishing granular access controls can help companies embarking on compliance journeys to meet the necessary regulatory criteria. Administrators can easily decide which settings must have more restrictive access and which can be more lax. This can protect organizations from unnecessary internal risks or human error and ensure a smoother workflow across teams.

Granular policy controls can also take device security into account. For instance, customizing autolock time requirements allows the organization to provide safeguards for all accounts while simultaneously keeping the workflow uninterrupted for those employees who are not exposed to critical access and can have a longer autolock period. MFA helps provide safer access to sensitive data, especially for employees who may be working remotely or traveling to industry events.

Granular policy controls allow organizations to build a more comprehensive data security system and maintain a clear and flexible cybersecurity standard that takes employee productivity and designated roles into account.

IT regulatory landscape in 2025: an interview with Prof. Dr. Kipker

Regulatory compliance is a constant yet necessary headache for businesses. Regulations are not set in stone—just because a business met the criteria of one framework or another two years ago does not mean it’ll be sufficient a year from now. In 2025, as we see new technologies like AI emerge, businesses must adapt and prepare to meet new regulatory standards.

So, what do businesses need to know as new regulations roll in and evolve? Prof. Dr. Dennis-Kenji Kipker, member of NordPass Advisory Board, answered some of the most pressing questions about the current cybersecurity landscape in the EU, what AI risks new regulations aim to prevent, and how businesses can prepare for compliance policies that will come into force in 2025.

Kipker is a Professor of IT Security Law at the University of Applied Sciences Bremen and the Scientific Director of the cyberintelligence.institute in Frankfurt. He’s one of the leading cybersecurity experts in the world, acting as an advisor to the European Commission and the German Federal Government. Kipker’s research focuses on cyberlaw, international IT law, and IT consumer protection.

New and updated regulations come into effect every year. What are the major EU regulations coming into force in 2025 that businesses should be aware of?

This year we’ll see several key regulations taking effect. These include the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) for financial institutions, the AI Act, the European Accessibility Act (EAA), and the NIS2 Directive. All these regulations have varying requirements but altogether aim to enhance digital security, compliance, and ethical AI deployment in the EU.

Let’s start with the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA). What can you tell us about its impact on financial institutions and IT service providers?

The DORA went into effect earlier this year, on January 17. Its aim is to strengthen the IT security of various financial entities and ensure they’re prepared for potential operational disruption. So, here we’re talking about banks, insurance companies, and the like.

More specifically, DORA requires financial entities to implement stronger cybersecurity frameworks, conduct regular risk assessments, and ensure third-party ICT providers meet security standards. It impacts the overall standards of financial cybersecurity in the EU.

The Network and Information Security Directive 2 (NIS2) entered into force in October 2024. Nevertheless, it’s still a relatively recent legislation for businesses. What have been the key changes stepping away from NIS1 and into NIS2?

Compared to the earlier framework, NIS2 expands the scope of cybersecurity obligations beyond critical infrastructure to include more sectors, such as healthcare, manufacturing, and cloud service providers. It also mandates a faster incident reporting timeframe—businesses must relay this information within 24 hours of an incident occurring.

The NIS2 also introduced stronger risk management policies and established that every EU member state must follow uniform criteria to enforce cybersecurity measures and determine which entities must adhere to them. If an organization fails to meet the NIS2 requirements, its managing bodies are held liable.

AI prevails as one of the most pressing topics, and the EU Artificial Intelligence Act is set to become one of the world’s first AI regulations. What does it aim to achieve?

The AI Act is really the first comprehensive regulation of this kind—it entered into force in August 2024, and its first requirements started to be applied in February. Firstly, it classifies AI systems based on their risk level: that means banning harmful AI, setting strict requirements for high-risk AI in fields like healthcare or law enforcement, and mandating transparency for AI-generated content—think deepfakes.

The first stage of application encompasses prohibitions and AI literacy obligations specifically, broader application is due in August this year. This will be the biggest implementation, covering governance, confidentiality, and penalties, among other requirements. The final applications will be enacted in August 2026 and August 2027.

What kinds of AI applications will be banned under the AI Act? How will companies deploying AI in the EU need to comply with the new rules?

The banned AI applications list includes AI systems that can manipulate human behavior, exploit vulnerabilities, and employ government-led social scoring.

As for companies that use AI in high-risk sectors, they’ll have to conduct risk assessments, maintain detailed documentation, ensure human oversight, and register their AI systems in an EU database.

The European Accessibility Act (EAA) is coming into effect in June this year. How will it impact tech companies? What are the penalties for companies that fail to comply with the new accessibility rules?

The EAA mandates that digital services, such as websites, apps, and e-commerce platforms, must be accessible to people with disabilities. For instance, businesses must redesign user interfaces and offer assistive technology support, like alt text for images. Overall, the EAA follows four key principles of accessibility:

Perceivability, meaning that all information of the service must be presented in a way that users can perceive regardless of their disability;
Operability, or how the user interacts with the interface and how accessible the navigation is;
Understandability, which requires all information to be easy to understand without unnecessary complexities;
Robustness, meaning all content must work on different devices and platforms, including assistive technology.

Companies that fail to comply will certainly face penalties which will vary in different EU countries. However, we know that financial fines will vary from €1,000—the lowest fine rate in Malta—to €500,000—the highest fine rate in Germany. Other penalties include legal action and bans on selling non-compliant products or services in the EU.

Finally, what’s your advice for businesses preparing for these upcoming regulations?

Firstly, companies should conduct compliance audits. Some frameworks issue official certifications of compliance. It’s important for businesses to be self-initiative in terms of compliance frameworks and analyze the requirements themselves. That said, working with external consultants can help answer some individual questions regarding compliance.

Updating risk management strategies is also essential. For instance, with the new NIS2 requirements, it’s essential for businesses to have a system in place to react to incidents in a timely manner.

Investing in cybersecurity and AI governance is another recommendation. As the next application stage for the EU AI Act is in August, it gives time for organizations to review what AI governance services they use now and what they plan to use in the future.

And, of course, employee training is always key. Ensuring employees are familiar with and understand the new regulatory requirements can help ensure that the right practices are upheld in an organization.

How to change your Google password?

With over 2.5 billion users and the world’s second-largest email client market share, thanks to Gmail’s popularity, Google is undoubtedly a dominant force on the internet. It’s unsurprising that Google Accounts are a usual target for hackers—with so many users around, they can gather plenty of valuable data.

If you’re concerned that your account might be compromised, have detected suspicious activity, or simply forgot your login details, this guide will cover how to change your Google password on desktop and mobile devices. Google keeps it pretty simple, as all password settings follow the same layout across different devices. So, let’s get started.

How to change your Google password on the desktop

To access your account settings, you can use one of Google’s services. For the purposes of this guide, let’s use Gmail. However, Google’s home page, Drive, YouTube, and other adjacent pages can also be used.

Visit the Google Account page.
Select “Personal info,” and under “Other info and preferences for Google services,” select “Password.” You can also find password settings in the “Security” tab under “How you sign in to Google.”
To verify you’re trying to access these security settings, you will need to enter your current Google password.
Once you’ve verified your access attempt, you can enter your new Google Account password. Google requires a password to be at least 8 characters long. You can use a password generator to create a strong and unique new password. Once you’ve entered it, select “Change password.”
That’s it! You’ve just changed your Google password.

Keep in mind that Google will automatically log you out of your devices except for the device you use for verification or some third-party apps and home devices with authorized access. You will need to confirm your login attempts using your selected verification method.

How to change your Google password on iPhone or iPad

Open the Gmail app and tap your profile picture at the top right corner. If you don’t use the app, go to https://myaccount.google.com/ to access your account and proceed to step 3.
Tap the “Manage your Google Account” button.
Select the “Personal info” tab and navigate down to “Other info and preferences for Google services.” Here, select “Password.” You can also find the same password settings in the “Security” tab under “How you sign in to Google.”
For security reasons, you will be prompted to enter your current Google password.
Now, enter your new Google password—make sure it’s at least 8 characters long—and select “Change Password.”
That’s it! You can now use your new password to log in to your Google Account.

After being automatically logged out, you will need to enter your new credentials to access your Google Account.

How to change your Google password on Android

Since Android devices are owned by Google, you can update your credentials in the settings or via one of the Google apps on your device. Here’s how to change your Google password via Android settings:

Go to your phone settings. The access may vary depending on your device model.
Find the “Google” section, and under “Google services,” tap your Google Account name. Then, tap “Google Account.”
You can find the password settings in the “Personal info” section under “Other info and preferences for Google services,” or in the “Security” settings under “How you sign in to Google.” In either section, select “Password.”
You will be prompted to enter your current Google password.
Now, enter your new Google Account password. To ensure it matches password strength criteria, make it at least 8 characters long and include a random combination of letters, numbers, and special characters. Then, select “Change password.”
That’s it! You’ve now successfully reset your Google password on Android.

Keep in mind you may be prompted to log in to your device’s Google Account again using the new credentials.

How to reset your Google password if you forgot it

It’s all fun and games until you’re setting up a new device, get to the Google Account login screen, and realize your password has vanished. It’s not in your head, it’s nowhere to be found in your notes. To avert disaster, it’s time for a quick Google password reset.

Thankfully, Google has put the work in to make account reset as smooth and painless as can be during the sign up process. You have the option to add a phone number or additional email address to your account for account reset and authentication purposes.

Here’s how you can reset your Google password:

Go to https://accounts.google.com/signin/recovery to begin the recovery process.
Enter your email address or, if you have it linked to your account, your phone number, and select “Next.”
You can enter the last password you remember using for your Google Account and select “Next.” If you can’t remember any of your previous passwords, select “Try another way.”
You will then be prompted to enter the phone number provided in your security settings. If you know the phone number, enter it and select “Next.” If you can’t use the related phone number, skip to step 6.
You will be sent a recovery code to your phone number. Enter the code and select “Next.”
If you can’t access your phone number in step 4, select “I don’t have my phone.” You’ll be able to enter your recovery email address to get a verification code. Enter the code and select “Next.”
You’ll then be able to set up a new password for your account. Select “Save password.”
Congratulations! You’ve reset your Google Account password.

How to secure your Google Account after changing the password

Now that your account is secure, let’s take some steps to ensure it stays that way. There are a few different security measures you can switch on, both internally and externally, to keep your Google Account protected from unauthorized access.

Two-factor authentication (2FA)

Two-factor authentication, or “2-Step Verification” as it’s called in your Google settings, is an easy way to protect your account by adding an additional authentication step. You can find the 2FA setup in your Google Account’s security settings:

In the “How you sign in to Google” section, select “2-Step Verification.”
If you haven’t already, link a phone number to your Google Account. You’ll receive an SMS with a verification code.
Enter the code and select “Done.”
That’s it! Now Google will send a verification code to your phone whenever you log in to your account. You can turn off 2FA at any time.

Passkeys

Setting up a passkey is perhaps a lesser-known yet certainly reliable way to protect your Google Account. A passkey is an authentication method that combines your biometric information with your personal device to create a more secure login experience. Google started supporting passkeys back in 2023, creating an easier way for users to authenticate their accounts without worrying about forgetting passwords.

To set up a passkey for your Google Account, go to “Security” settings and select “Passkeys and security keys” under “How you sign in to Google.” Then, simply select “Create a passkey.”

Check for unauthorized sessions and devices

If you’re receiving suspicious emails or requests to verify login attempts, it’s possible someone has added their device to your Google Account without your authorization. Likewise, if you’ve transferred your device ownership to another person, you may want to disconnect your Google Account access from that device.

To check what devices are connected to your Google Account, go to your “Security” settings and find the “Your devices” section. Then, select “Manage all devices” and carefully look at the list. If you spot any suspicious device connected to your account, tap it and select “Sign out” to cut off access. For security reasons, you may want to change your Google password if you haven’t done so already.

Store your new password securely

Even with additional security measures switched on, it’s essential to keep your Google Account password secure. To do this easily, you can use a password manager like NordPass. It provides encrypted storage for all your credentials, Google included, and comes equipped with a Password Generator that you can use to create your new account password.

NordPass is available as a Google Chrome extension, meaning you can easily access it on your browser. Simply save your Google login details in NordPass and, whenever you need to log in, they’ll be autofilled for you.

In addition to its password management features, NordPass also provides additional security for your accounts. With the Data Breach Scanner, you can check whether any of your email addresses or credit card details have been compromised, while Password Health informs you about old, weak, reused, and breached passwords.

Try NordPass for free today and discover a higher level of security, whether it’s for your Google Accounts, or any other sensitive data on the web.

Saily vs. Airalo: which eSIM service is better for travelers?

Whether you’re taking a short trip to an industry event or embarking on the adventure of a lifetime, you almost certainly have a checklist to cover before you depart. Passport, visa, and the usual travel essentials are probably already covered, but there’s one small thing you might overlook in all the planning stress—mobile data connection. To help you stay in the network without worries, we want to see how two eSIM providers—Saily vs. Airalo—stack up against each other.

What is an eSIM?

In case you haven’t used eSIMs before, they’re a digital version of a typical physical SIM card. Instead of inserting it into your phone, you download software—usually an app—to activate and use it on your phone. An eSIM may have a phone number attached to it, but its most common use is for data connection to avoid costly roaming charges.

Since eSIMs have only been around for just under a decade, with the first eSIM-compatible smartphones released around 2017 and 2018, their usage is still somewhat restricted. Before investing in an eSIM, check if your phone’s build is recent enough to be compatible with the service. Some compatible devices can support several eSIMs at once, allowing you to try different services yourself.

What is Saily?

On one side of today’s eSIM comparison ring, you’ll find Saily—the eSIM provider developed by Nord Security, the company that’s also behind NordPass. Launched in the spring of 2024, Saily offers local and international eSIM services on iOS and Android devices. Saily is available as a dedicated app, providing mobile data coverage in over 190 countries and territories.

What is Airalo?

Our second subject today is Airalo. Launched in 2019 and seizing the title of the world’s first eSIM store, Airalo offers mobile data coverage in over 200 countries and territories. Airalo’s mobile app is available on iOS and Android devices.

Plans and network coverage

Let’s start our Saily vs. Airalo comparison by looking at the core service they offer—network coverage. After all, if you’re traveling to a different continent, you want to be sure that your selected eSIM provider works there and offers a plan that satisfies your needs.

With Saily, you can select a 7-day, 15-day, 30-day, or 365-day plan, starting at 1 GB of data for a week. The amount of data you receive may vary in different countries. However, in some countries, you may have the option to buy unlimited data for 15 days. Plans are sorted by country and region, with over 190 countries and 8 regions to pick from. For instance, if you’re planning a vacation in Thailand, you can opt for the Thailand plan, or if you’re setting out on a European road trip, you can purchase the Europe plan.

Saily has a global plan with up to 20 GB of data for a full year, allowing you to trek around the world to your heart’s content. A nice perk is that you can reuse the same Saily eSIM for multiple locations—you can simply buy a new plan without having to install a different eSIM.

Airalo offers 1-day, 7-day, 15-day, and 30-day plans, starting at 1 GB of data for a day, and 3 types of eSIMS—local, regional, and global. The local eSIMS are available for over 200 countries and territories. Depending on your destination, the availability of plans may vary. Although most regional plans are valid for 30 days, the Europe and Asia plans offer up to 180 days of data.

Airalo also offers a 365-day, 20 GB global plan for the long-haulers. However, unlike Saily, Airalo doesn’t support the same eSIM for different countries or regions. If you’re hopping from country to country, especially if they don’t fall under the same region, you have to install a new eSIM for each one.

So, if you’re planning a quick journey, Airalo can be a good pick. However, if you plan to travel more extensively and cover several regions, Saily offers more flexibility with its monthly and yearly plans.

Pricing and value for money

Next, let’s talk money. Even if you’re a budget traveler, expenses can build up quickly. So, when you’re looking for a cellular data service, you want to make sure you’re getting the value for money and don’t have to worry about looking for a new provider when you’re in a rush. Let’s see how the Saily eSIM and Airalo’s store compare in terms of pricing.

Region/country	Saily	Airalo
Global 7 days	1 GB – $8.99	1 GB – $9
Global 180 days	10 GB – $56.99	10 GB – $59
Global 365 days	20 GB – $66.99	20 GB – $69
Europe 7 days	1 GB – $4.99	1 GB – $5
Europe 30 days	10 GB – $35.99	10 GB – $37
Europe 180 days	100 GB – $179.99	100 GB – $185
Asia* 7 days	1 GB – $4.99	1 GB – $5
Asia* 30 days	10 GB – $35.99	10 GB – $37
Asia* 180 days	100 GB – $179.99	100 GB – $185
USA 7 days	1 GB – $3.99	1 GB – $4.50
USA 15 days	Unlimited – $49.99	2 GB – $8
USA 30 days	20 GB – $36.99	20 GB – $42

*Saily offers a joint regional plan for Asia and Oceania.

Note: The information in this comparison was last verified on eSIM providers’ official websites on April 1, 2025, and is subject to change.

While the pricing for shorter plans is similar, Saily has a slight edge over Airalo, with its 7-day USA plan being nearly a dollar cheaper. Airalo does offer 1-day plans and provides new users with a complimentary free eSIM with 1 GB of data, making it a good choice for weekend trips or to quickly top up when a plan runs out.

The real disparity is in longer-term plans, where Saily appears to be the more budget-friendly option. The standout is the 15-day USA plan—while Airalo only offers 2 GB of mobile data, Saily has an unlimited option that offers more flexibility and keeps travelers from worrying about running out of data before their journey’s over.

In addition to the main plans, both Saily and Airalo allow you to top up your current balance. This means you don’t need to scramble for a new eSIM if you’re running short on data.

The difference in pricing and Airalo’s requirement to set up a new eSIM for each region makes Saily the more budget-friendly option.

Ease of use and setup process

Setting up a regular SIM card is straightforward—you just insert it into your phone and can use cellular data pretty much right away. Setting up an eSIM should not be much more complicated. So, how easy is it to set up and get started with Saily and Airalo?

Firstly, both eSIM providers score points in terms of compatibility. They work with all iOS and Android devices that support eSIMs, as well as laptops and tablets. If you’re looking for a smartwatch-compatible service, though, Saily takes the win here, as its eSIM service is fully supported by Apple, Xiaomi, Samsung, and other brands. As mentioned prior, ensure your device is eSIM-compatible before you sign up for either service.

Once you download the app, and before you even create an account or log in, Saily lets you preview all available plans in the app for different countries and regions. That means you can firmly settle on a plan first before you create an account and buy it.

To sign up, you can use your Google or Apple account. Saily offers easy in-app instructions to get you started with your eSIM. In case you encounter any issues with the setup, Saily offers 24/7 live customer support via live chat and email.

Likewise, Airalo lets you preview the plans as soon as you download the app. With some plans, you may have the option to receive a free Welcome eSIM, which covers 1 GB of data for 1 day. To create a new account, you can use your email address or Facebook and Google accounts. Some issues may arise when purchasing new eSIM plans for different regions, as each card will have to be removed and added manually.

In terms of payment options, Airalo is more flexible here. Both eSIM providers accept credit and debit cards, Google Pay, and PayPal. However, Airalo also supports payments via Apple Pay, Alipay, and AirMoney, which might make it more convenient for iOS users. Airalo’s customer support is available via email and WhatsApp.

Overall, both apps are easy to set up and get started with.

Speed and performance

You can have as many gigabytes in your plan as you want, but without the right network speed, they’re as good as expired. Network speed ensures you can connect and share your adventures in real time and is essential for video calls or livestreams. So, how do Saily and Airalo match up in terms of speed?

Turns out, they are pretty evenly matched. Both eSIM providers offer speeds up to 5G in regions that support it. However, due to local restrictions, network speeds may not exceed 4G in some regions.

Hotspot sharing can also be essential for some travelers. While Airalo puts a daily cap on how much data you can share, Saily’s hotspot sharing is unlimited. Both Airalo and Saily alert you with a notification if you’re running low on data. Saily sends a notification at the 80% cap, while Airalo lets you customize your preferred warning threshold.

Overall, both Saily and Airalo are solid options in terms of network speed and performance, but if you plan to share your data with other devices, Saily might be more convenient.

Additional features

Picking the right eSIM provider can be difficult. With similar price ranges and network features, how do you know you’ve made the right choice? Extra features can play a key role in that final decision. So, do Saily and Airalo offer more than just international network connection to their customers?

For Saily, the answer is an assured yes. As a Nord Security product, Saily is more than just an eSIM provider. It comes equipped with additional security features, like virtual locations for private browsing, a built-in ad blocker to get around those pesky interferences and save your data, and web protection to block any malicious sites and browse faster.

Airalo’s edge, on the other hand, is in providing mobile calls and texting in addition to data. Airalo’s select global plans offer up to 200 minutes of calls and up to 200 SMS.

So, if you’re interested in maintaining a higher level of security for your devices and data, Saily is a firm choice, but if you’re interested in making offline calls, Airalo offers a solution.

Customer reviews and ratings

Finally, it’d be amiss not to take practical user experience into consideration. What do users and reviewers have to say about Saily’s performance compared to Airalo’s?

On both Apple’s App Store and Android’s Play Store, the ratings go toe to toe, varying at just a small margin in Saily’s favor—4.7 to Airalo’s 4.6 on the Play Store and 4.7 to Airalo’s 4.6 on the App Store. Airalo does have more ratings overall, but that’s to be expected, as it’s been around for 5 years longer than Saily.

On Trustpilot, the difference between Saily’s and Airalo’s ratings is much bigger, with Saily boasting a 4.0-star rating to Airalo’s 2.6.

Saily received positive reviews for its customer support, quick setup, and reliable speed. Likewise, ease of setup, reliable data connection, as well as budget-friendliness were listed as some of Airalo’s highlights.

In terms of Saily’s negatives, some customers reported occasional issues with data coverage and eSIM activation, as well as a lack of support for local mobile calls. Criticism toward Airalo was due to signal issues, inconsistent network speed, and poor customer service.

Note: The ratings in this comparison were last verified on April 1, 2025, on the App Store, Play Store, and the respective Saily and Airalo Trustpilot pages, and are subject to change.

Conclusion: which one should you choose?

The Saily vs. Airalo match-up is a tough one. Both services have their strengths and offer a budget-friendly solution for travelers. Saily is a solid option for budget-friendly traveling, offering flexibility with multi-region support using a single eSIM, as well as security-focused additional features. Airalo provides broad worldwide coverage with plans suitable for both long-term and short-term travelers, more flexible payment options, and the ability to add a phone number to your eSIM. While Saily holds a slight advantage in terms of its pricing, eSIM usage flexibility, and extra perks, the choice may ultimately come down to your personal preference and device compatibility options.

We hope this guide helps you pick the right eSIM provider for your next adventure. Enjoy your travels, stay safe, and stay connected!

Helping clients avoid financial losses and downtime

IT GOAT has built a strong reputation for delivering first-class IT services to businesses of all sizes, handling everything from remote help desk support to cybersecurity and compliance. They also specialize in disaster recovery and high-level consulting, including virtual CIO services.

Knowing that many of their customers were struggling with the risks of poor password management and unsafe credential sharing—issues that can lead to downtime and financial losses—the company decided early on to make offering a reliable, trusted, and proven password manager a core part of their services.

Top security and easy adoption are must-haves

With so many password managers to choose from—and with some experience using one in the past—IT GOAT wanted to be sure they picked the right one. So, before making any commitments, they took the extra time to test and evaluate several potential candidates. After discovering NordPass through their network and seeing firsthand how powerful and easy to use it was—not just for password management but beyond—they knew it was the perfect fit for their offering.

“Before we switched to NordPass, we were using another popular password manager, LastPass™, [which is] a good product, but they were dealing with some security issues for a while, and we, as a managed services provider, have zero tolerance for that kind of risk. In our industry, delivering only top-quality products is non-negotiable—if we don’t do that, we risk losing our clients.

So, we decided to make a change. NordPass was recommended by one of our distributors, Pax8, so we started evaluating it and found that it had a lot of great security features, like safe credential sharing. After testing it internally, we saw that the team adopted it really quickly. We’ve been recommending it to our clients ever since,” said Mike Murphy, CEO of IT GOAT.
