ExpressVPN has completed 27 independent security audits, with the latest covering its ExpressMailGuard and Identity Defender privacy tools.<\/p>\n

It said that total is higher than any disclosed by another VPN provider. Cybersecurity firm Cure53 carried out the two most recent assessments.<\/p>\n

Cure53 reviewed the source code and infrastructure behind both products. Its audit of ExpressMailGuard examined the email relay layer, which lets users create unlimited anonymous email aliases linked to their main inbox.<\/p>\n

According to ExpressVPN, Cure53 confirmed that the tool removes identifying metadata from emails, routes messages through aliases and deletes delivered messages from ExpressVPN servers. The relay is therefore not designed to retain communication archives or build profiles based on users’ email activity.<\/p>\n

Identity Defender was also examined because it handles sensitive personal data. Available as a standalone app for users in the United States, it monitors public records, home and auto titles, court records, changes to financial records that may indicate fraud and dark web data for signs of identity theft.<\/p>\n

ExpressVPN said Cure53 tested Identity Defender’s backend systems and found that personally identifiable information remained isolated from unauthorised access. The service also includes a data-removal tool designed to scrub personal information from data-broker sites on an ongoing basis.<\/p>\n

Audit record<\/strong><\/p>\n

ExpressVPN said it began publishing independent audit findings in 2018 and has since expanded the practice across major parts of its business. Reviews have covered VPN protocols, its no-logs policy, an AI assistant and newer privacy products beyond its core consumer VPN service.<\/p>\n

Founded in 2009, the company has broadened its product range in recent years. Alongside its VPN app, it now offers a password manager, an identity protection app, an email privacy product and an AI platform, as well as services aimed at businesses and travellers.<\/p>\n
