reasons NHS trusts pick AD360 over Netwrix Password Manager for NHS DSP Toolkit
Self-service password reset without IT involvement
AD360 enables users to securely reset passwords and unlock accounts anytime, from anywhere. This helps reduce IT workload and ensures continuous access to NHS systems, aligning with NHS DSPT expectations and improving operational resilience.
Built-In MFA that meets NHS Cyber Essentials and NHS cybersecurity standards
Netwrix Password Manager provides basic Q&A authentication. AD360 includes more than 20 MFA options—like biometrics and TOTP—ensuring compliance with Cyber Essentials NHS and strengthening NHS identity protection.
Department-based policy flexibility
AD360 supports OU- and group-based configurations, enabling NHS IT teams to enforce tailored password policies by role, site, or department. This is ideal for aligning with NHS DSPT and NHS data security standards.
Support for NHS GDPR breach prevention
Unlike Netwrix Password Manager, AD360 integrates the Have I Been Pwned? service to block known weak or compromised credentials—supporting NHS GDPR breach prevention and NHS data protection toolkit alignment.
Compliance-ready activity logs
Every password reset, unlock, and policy violation is logged and auditable. This helps IT teams meet NHS audit requirements, respond to NHS data breach reporting, and demonstrate readiness for IG Toolkit NHS reviews.
Unified platform, lower costs
AD360 is more than just a password manager. It combines MFA, policy enforcement, compliance auditing, and directory updates—all in one interface. NHS teams reduce complexity and avoid multiple vendor licenses.
