Spec score 7.7 #13 of 23 in Network Access Control Software

What it is

SecureW2 Cloud NAC is a cloud network access control service that manages access for users and devices through certificate-based 802.1X authentication and identity-provider policies. It supports wired, Wi-Fi, and VPN access, including passwordless 802.1X with EAP-TLS. Administrators can set role-, policy-, and attribute-based rules, with runtime VLAN segmentation. For guests and BYOD, it offers certificate enrollment and WebAuth captive portals, plus self-service or sponsored guest access. MAC-based authentication and filtering provide an option for IoT and legacy devices that cannot use 802.1X. Certificate enrollment, renewal, and revocation can be automated through APIs and protocols including ACME, SCEP, JSON, WSTEP, and EST. SecureW2 says its PKI and RADIUS controls do not require a persistently active endpoint agent. Integrations include Google, Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, CrowdStrike, Cisco, Jamf, and Intune. Pricing is available on request through a form asking for solution type, organization type, and device count.

SecureW2 Cloud NAC in depth

Read the full write-up

Overview

SecureW2 Cloud NAC combines certificate-based authentication with identity-provider policies to control who and what can connect to an organization’s network. It is a strong fit for organizations that need consistent access rules across employee, guest, BYOD, and IoT devices. Its main appeal is broad coverage across connection types and device workflows; buyers should look elsewhere if they need a price they can assess without requesting a quote.

Key features

Cloud RADIUS supports passwordless 802.1X using EAP-TLS for Wi-Fi, wired connections, and VPN access. SecureW2 says its PKI and RADIUS controls do not require an endpoint agent to remain persistently active. That approach suits organizations seeking centrally managed network access without depending on an always-running agent on each endpoint.

Administrators can apply role-, policy-, and attribute-based rules, including runtime VLAN segmentation. These controls let organizations shape where users and devices connect, rather than relying only on a basic allow-or-deny decision. BYOD and guest workflows include certificate enrollment, WebAuth captive portals, and self-service or sponsored access.

For IoT and legacy equipment that cannot use 802.1X, MAC-based authentication and filtering provide another access path, with dynamic VLAN assignments for segmentation. That broadens coverage, but MAC-based controls are distinct from certificate authentication and may not suit environments that require certificate-based access for every device.

Certificate enrollment, renewal, and revocation can be automated through APIs and protocols including ACME, SCEP, JSON, WSTEP, and EST. SecureW2 says private keys are protected by FIPS 140-2 Level 3+ hardware security modules. Together, lifecycle automation and hardware-backed key protection make the certificate approach better suited to organizations managing certificates at scale than to buyers seeking only a simple network access rule set.

The integration directory includes identity, security, networking, and device-management options such as Google, Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, CrowdStrike, Cisco, Jamf, and Intune. Support is provided through a customer portal and support-request form.

Pricing

SecureW2 Cloud NAC is paid software with custom pricing. The quote form asks for solution type, organization type, and device count, so the price is tailored to an organization’s requirements rather than presented as a standard per-user or per-device rate. This fits buyers who can scope a deployment with the vendor, but makes it difficult to compare cost before starting that process.

The pricing form accommodates education, commercial, government, nonprofit, and MSP or reseller organizations. No separate lower-cost plan, free tier, trial, or published renewal terms are provided. Organizations should request a quote based on their intended solution and device count before budgeting or comparing it with alternatives.

Platforms

SecureW2 lists Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows platforms, as well as an API. For unmanaged-device onboarding, it lists support for iOS, macOS, Windows, Android, Chrome, Linux, and Kindle Fire. This range suits mixed fleets, including mobile and desktop systems, while the API and certificate protocols support integration into certificate lifecycle workflows.

Who it's for

Cloud NAC is best suited to organizations that need to manage access across Wi-Fi, wired networks, and VPNs while accommodating managed endpoints, visitors, BYOD, and devices that cannot use 802.1X. Its organization categories include education, commercial, government, nonprofit, and MSP or reseller customers, making it relevant to both direct deployments and service providers. It is less compelling for buyers who need transparent, fixed pricing or a free plan to evaluate before engaging a vendor.

Pros and cons

Pros: One cloud service covers 802.1X access for Wi-Fi, wired networks, and VPNs, which helps organizations apply certificate-based controls across multiple access types.

Pros: Role-, policy-, and attribute-based rules with runtime VLAN segmentation support more granular network placement than simple connection approval.

Pros: Guest workflows and MAC-based controls extend access management to visitors and some legacy or IoT devices that cannot use 802.1X.

Pros: Automated certificate lifecycle support, broad integrations, and HSM-backed private-key protection suit organizations with established identity and device-management systems.

Cons: Custom pricing requires a quote based on solution type, organization, and device count, so buyers cannot quickly compare a standard plan price.

Cons: MAC-based authentication is a separate mechanism from certificate-based 802.1X, so organizations seeking certificate authentication across every device may need another approach for legacy equipment.

Alternatives

For a free, open-source option aimed at learning, testing, and prototyping rather than production use, consider EJBCA. step-ca is another free option for teams seeking an open-source certificate authority with a single configured intermediate CA and issuance policies. OpenCA PKI, OpenXPKI, and XiPKI are free alternatives for buyers considering open-source PKI software.

EZCA may suit buyers looking for a paid certificate authority with a published Basic plan at $200 a month, billed $200 / CA / month, and FIPS 140-3 Level 2 HSM-backed CAs. For organizations focused on S/MIME, KeyTalk CKMS offers an on-premise plan at €5 a month per user for up to 250 participants. Entrust Certificate Manager is another paid certificate-management option with custom pricing.

Verdict

Choose SecureW2 Cloud NAC if your organization needs certificate-based access control across Wi-Fi, wired networks, and VPNs, with segmentation and workflows for guests, BYOD, and devices that cannot use 802.1X. Its range of authentication and certificate-management capabilities is the reason to shortlist it; custom pricing is the main reason to compare alternatives before committing.

Verdict

SecureW2 Cloud NAC brings certificate-based access rules and device onboarding into a cloud service. Its pricing is quote-based, so prospective buyers need to request a quote for their organization and device count.
