NordVPN is owned by Nord Security, a Netherlands-based company founded in 2012 by Tom Okman, Eimantas Sabaliauskas, and Jonas Karklys. Although NordVPN operates out of Panama to take advantage of strong privacy laws, the ownership and management are under Nord Security. The company is privately held and has undergone funding and growth, with Novator Partners as a key investor. There have been rumors about companies like Tefincom S.A. and Tesonet being owners, but Nord Security is the true owner of NordVPN. Nord Security also owns related cybersecurity products and the Surfshark VPN brand under its umbrella.
