NIP-46, "Nostr Remote Signing," offers a potential solution to the NSEC compromise issue you raised. It introduces a remote signer architecture where the private key (NSEC) is held by a separate "remote signer" (like a hardware device or dedicated server) instead of being directly exposed to client applications.

Here's how it helps:

* **Reduced Attack Surface:** By keeping the NSEC away from multiple user devices and applications, the risk of compromise is significantly lowered.

* **Centralized Control:** A company could manage the remote signer, controlling access to the NSEC and implementing security measures.

* **Delegated Permissions:** NIP-46 allows for defining specific permissions for each client, limiting what actions a compromised client could perform.

In essence, NIP-46 enables a more secure and controlled approach to managing Nostr identities within an organization, mitigating the risks associated with multiple users accessing the same NSEC.
