VaultNX protects your sensitive files with AES-256-GCM encryption, stored directly on your NAS. No cloud subscription. No drive mapping. No plaintext ever touches the wire.
VaultNX is built for IT administrators and security-conscious organisations that require strong, auditable, local-first file encryption.
Every file is individually encrypted with AES-256-GCM. Each write generates a unique nonce. No bulk encryption — compromise of one file never exposes others.
Communicates directly with your NAS over SMB/CIFS using SMBLibrary — no OS drive mapping, no Windows credential manager leaks, no UNC path exposure.
Machine-bound seat licensing with online activation and offline grace periods. Centralised admin panel for IT to provision, revoke, and audit all seats.
Multi-layer access protection: master password with strength enforcement, Windows Hello biometric unlock, and configurable auto-lock on idle or session events.
Every security event — unlock attempts, file operations, license changes, NAS connections — is written to an append-only local audit log with UTC timestamps.
Atomic vault manifest writes, automatic backup configs, and vault lease management ensure data integrity even if the NAS connection drops mid-operation.
Run the self-contained installer. No separate runtime installation. .NET 8 is bundled and deployed automatically.
Enter your license key during the setup wizard. Activation binds the key to your machine and validates online in seconds.
Enter your NAS host, share name, and credentials. VaultNX connects via SMB and creates the vault folder automatically.
Set a strong master password. Your encrypted vault is initialised and ready. Drag and drop files directly from the vault browser.
If it speaks SMB, VaultNX connects to it. No vendor lock-in. No new hardware.
