What the Press Says
Users who want more performance and privacy for Windows 11 25H2 should take a closer look at NoID Privacy. […] NoID Privacy is also particularly well-suited for power users, enthusiasts, and gamers, as unnecessary system components and services can be disabled and corresponding resources saved.
Sounds promising. I think the idea behind the tool and NexusOne23's commitment are great. […] At best, however, the tool helps to “tame” unmanaged Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2 systems — outside large companies with administrator-managed Group Policy or Intune.
NoID Privacy turns Windows back into an operating system. […] In the end, you have a Windows that no longer "phones home", but does what it's supposed to do again. […] Right after setup, Windows feels noticeably smoother and faster in use. No more ad pop-ups, no constant background connections, and less system load.
Powerful Protection. Beautiful Design.
NoID Privacy Pro brings controls from Microsoft’s security baselines for Windows 11 24H2, 25H2 and 26H2 and current Edge — plus anti-spy privacy controls — into a modern, guided interface built for clarity, control and verifiable results.
Start with a security profile — Quick & Secure, Balanced or High Security — or configure every module individually. One guided run, 5–10 minutes. Interface preview.
Each Quick Action changes one exact Windows security scope. Unrelated module settings stay untouched; every change has its own sealed backup, verification and exact restore. Interface preview.
Every run starts with a sealed backup. Restore the captured pre-hardening state anytime; backups stay local. Interface preview.
Review passed, failed, not-applicable and not-checked targets in a local report. Interface preview.

Pro Features
Professional security hardening with a beautiful interface — for Windows 11 power users.
1-Click Installation
No PowerShell knowledge required. Professional security hardening in just a few clicks. Visual progress tracking included.
Beautiful Modern GUI
Windows 11 Fluent Design with dark/light mode. Intuitive interface that makes security hardening accessible to everyone.
10 Languages Supported
Fully localized interface in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Russian, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional). Engine output and technical reports are in English.
Microsoft Security Baselines
Covers 630+ settings, including 335 registry policies, 67 security template settings, 23 audit policies, and 19 ASR identities.
Configuration Backup & Restore
Every applicable configuration target is backed up before it changes. One-click restore covers supported registry, service, firewall and scheduled-task state.
Audit Reports
Detailed configuration reports and technical checks visualize declared target state and deviations. They are not a compliance certification.
Update System
For active licenses, a non-blocking availability check can run after startup at most once per 24 hours. Download and installation start only when you choose them.
Premium Support
Email support is included. Service target, not an SLA: we typically reply within 48 hours on business days.
Choose Your Security Level
Three profiles for different needs — from casual user to security-focused professional.
Balanced
Designed for common Office, browser and gaming workflows
Maximum
Old macros, some scripts may not work
Custom
Granular control over 630+ declared targets, subject to applicability
Tip: Not sure which to choose? Start with Balanced, review the
proposed changes and test your required software. You can adjust it later; supported configuration changes
have an exact pre-state, while removed Store apps use a separate best-effort reinstall.
Maintained Windows Policies.
Documented Rollback Scope.
We prioritize system stability. We use official Microsoft baselines and policies, but deep hardening can impact some apps. BAVR therefore records the exact pre-state of supported registry, service, firewall and scheduled-task targets. Removed Store apps are the documented exception and reinstall best-effort.
Built on Microsoft
Security BaselinesNoID Privacy sets real Windows Group Policies and Security Baseline settings — not random registry hacks. Always review the proposed changes and test on your target system before a wide rollout.
Protection, Not Obstruction
The "Recommended" profile prioritizes compatibility, but every environment differs. Review the proposed controls and test printers, games and required software before broad deployment.
Don't trust us? Audit our code.
The core engine is published under GPLv3. Declared
target settings and verification logic can be inspected in the source.
The "Undo" Button for Peace of
Mind
Security requires confidence. That's why we built BAVR — Backup, Apply, Verify, Restore.
Backup
Save the exact pre-state of every applicable configuration target before it changes.
Apply
Apply the selected modules and record every applied, skipped and not-applicable target.
Verify
Classify declared targets as verified, failed, not applicable or not checked.
Restore
Restore supported configuration from its sealed pre-state; Store-app reinstall remains separate and best-effort.
One command restores sealed configuration state. Removed Store apps are explicitly outside exact BAVR and use a separate best-effort reinstall.
Compatibility
Check the target Windows release, required software and legacy devices before applying stricter profiles.
Windows Release
Windows 11 24H2: fully supported
Windows 11 25H2: fully supported
Windows 11 26H2: fully supported
Software
Common apps are a design target
Test browsers, Office, VPNs and dev tools
Stricter modes can restrict scripts and child processes
Legacy Devices
NAS and printer behavior depends on protocols
BAVR restores supported configuration state
Old SMB1 / TLS 1.0 devices
NoID Privacy detects your exact build and edition and automatically skips anything that doesn't apply — nothing guesses, nothing silently breaks.
Security Transparency
How we build trust through transparency
Our philosophy: Security tools should be auditable. That's why our engine is open source — so security researchers, enterprises, and you can verify exactly what happens on your system.
Fair Pricing. Finally.
Rent is for apartments, not security software.

Technique-to-Control Mapping
Illustrative attack paths and the Windows controls relevant to them — not live-malware tests or outcome guarantees.
Gootloader Malware
A search-poisoned download can lead from an untrusted script to persistence, command-and-control traffic and later credential access.
Phishing + Macro Attacks
Email attachments with malicious macros remain a major threat, especially in older or misconfigured environments. Still actively exploited.
Credential Theft (Mimikatz)
Tools such as Mimikatz can extract exposed credential material from memory and are used for lateral movement and privilege escalation.
Real threat patterns. Mapped Windows controls.
NoID Privacy configures controls relevant to several documented attack techniques. Actual results depend on policy mode, signatures, device capabilities, user decisions and attacker behavior.

Detection vs. Prevention — the
Layer You're Missing
Antivirus is the guard at the door — and modern guards are sharp (signatures, heuristics, behavior, cloud reputation). Some attackers adapt payloads and behavior to evade a specific product; there is no guaranteed bypass.
- Detects and blocks malicious files and behavior
- Continuous components and cloud features vary by product
- Pricing and license models vary
- Privileged vendor software requires ongoing maintenance
- Configures preventive controls for selected techniques
- Performance impact depends on the selected controls and workload
- One-time payment for perpetual use of the licensed version
- Primarily configures built-in controls through its GUI and engine
Complement, not replacement: NoID Privacy complements Defender or another suitable AV/EDR layer.
When Built-in Defender May Be Enough
For many home users, Windows Defender and the built-in Windows Security features — properly hardened — can be enough. If your threat model is higher, an additional EDR/AV layer may still make sense.
The DecisionEnvironment: Home or managed endpoint?
Requirements: Insurance or customer controls?
Choose the security stack that fits the actual risk
Built-in FoundationASR rules can restrict matching behaviors
Windows Update supplies platform updates
Hardening and verification improve the default foundation
Additional AV/EDRAlso adds: Privileged software and maintenance
Cost and data flows: Vary by provider
Appropriate where the threat model or policy requires it
NoID Privacy activates what Windows already has
No additional always-on AV engine: NoID Privacy primarily configures built-in Windows features. Its GUI and engine remain software that must be maintained, and exact results are verified in the report.

Why Hardening Raises the Cost of Attack
Applicable and enforced policies can restrict common techniques and reduce exposed paths.
Without Selected PoliciesOffice: Legacy or misconfigured paths may remain
Credentials: Exposure depends on capabilities and state
A broader attack surface may remain available
With Applicable HardeningOffice: Relevant child-process paths can be blocked
Credentials: Isolated where Credential Guard* is supported and active
The report records the verified target state
The NumbersVBS: Virtualization-based security
Defense in depth: Multiple independent control families
Results depend on applicability, enforcement and attacker behavior
Attackers prefer path of least resistance
Hardening closes the common paths attackers rely on — it won't make you invisible, but it makes you a harder, costlier target.

NIS2 implementation support for Windows Endpoints
For covered entities, BSI Act §30 requires proportionate technical and organizational measures. NoID Privacy contributes Windows baseline hardening and bounded BAVR configuration documentation; it does not establish compliance on its own.
For covered entities, NIS2 duties are law
Use Microsoft baseline recommendations as one technical layer and document the declared endpoint configuration with BAVR. Risk management, organization-wide controls, and independent review remain separate tasks.

Why "NoID Privacy" when it's
mostly Security?
"NoID" is short for "No Identifier" — a Windows 11 that stops broadcasting who you are. More than a conventional Windows 11 privacy tool or Windows 11 hardening tool, NoID Privacy applies real security-baseline policies (not one-off toggles) and reports the resulting state, so your settings are reviewable and repeatable — though a Windows update can still call for re-verification.
Security and privacy reinforce each other. Hardening reduces exploitable paths; data-minimizing choices reduce unnecessary exposure.
Security Foundation
31 Edge v151 checks: 24 Microsoft Edge v151 baseline targets + 7 labeled NoID Privacy additions
19 rules: Attack Surface Reduction
VBS + Credential Guard*: Hardware-backed credential isolation when supported and active
Privacy LayerTelemetry: Applicable policies, services and tasks by mode
AntiAI: 47 declared targets with applicability checks
Bloatware: Opt-in removal with documented restore boundaries
The Result: Fewer exploitable paths, less unnecessary exposure — reviewable, not magic.

NoID Privacy for
Android
Extend your security beyond your PC — review device signals and Google Account controls in one place. NoID Privacy includes a 92-check catalog across both areas; 30 essential checks and all 7 guided account reviews are free. Version-dependent and optional capability checks stay visible and are excluded from the score when they cannot fairly be evaluated.
-
Security Coach
On-device review of your security state with prioritized, actionable guidance.
-
Permission Auditor
Review sensitive app access — including microphone, camera, accessibility, overlays and clipboard — with local signals and guided system checks.
-
Account Advisor — Free
Guided reviews of Google-hosted privacy controls that a device API cannot inspect directly, including activity and ad settings.
NoID Privacy Workstation 44
The hardened OS in the family. A Fedora 44 / GNOME 50 derivative with default LAN-egress restrictions, an optional provider-neutral WAN-strict mode, 41 functional modules, SELinux enforcing, intentional suppression of known OS telemetry channels and a prepared, opt-in AI-agent workspace. Free and buildable from published source.
-
LAN-Isolated by Default
block-lan-out restricts ordinary local and directly attached host egress, while firewalld DROP and managed ARP peers reduce unsolicited LAN reachability. Required link/control traffic and explicit exceptions remain; this is not a stealth guarantee.
-
AI-Agent Workspace
Hardened VSCodium, a central
CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.mdpolicy with Codex and Gemini adapters, and 52 agent-readable docs ship ready. Verified Claude and Codex components install only after opt-in; no vendor agent code is preinstalled. Cloud agents still send prompts and selected context to their providers. -
Hardened, Snapshot-Backed
SELinux enforcing, immutable auditd and Snapper for covered root-system state. LUKS2 depends on the installer selection; AIDE checks begin only after the user reviews and accepts the exact baseline. Storage layout, firmware and the separate /home subvolume need separate recovery.
NoID Privacy for Linux
Many Linux security tools prioritize servers. NoID Privacy for Linux 3.7.2 runs 420+ desktop privacy and security checks across 42 sections; actual coverage varies with the system and available or optional tools.
-
AI-Powered Fixes
The
--aiflag generates a prompt — paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini for step-by-step fix suggestions for each finding. -
Desktop Privacy
Browser telemetry, app tracking, DNS leaks, VPN kill-switch, webcam permissions — what server tools miss.
-
Single Bash Script
One read-only-by-default file that uses available standard/system tools. Coverage varies when optional tools are absent; network tests can be skipped. GPL-3.0.
