About Virtru Email Encryption

Virtru Email Encryption is a data security solution that integrates seamlessly with popular email platforms like Gmail and Outlook, enabling users to send end-to-end encrypted emails and attachments. It provides granular control over shared data, including the ability to revoke access, set expiration dates, and apply watermarks. The platform is built on the Trusted Data Format (TDF) standard and uses AES-256 bit encryption to protect data in transit and at rest. It supports compliance with regulations such as HIPAA, CMMC, ITAR, and GDPR. Virtru offers various integration options, including a Secure Share feature for encrypted file sharing with cloud storage platforms like Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams. The solution is FedRAMP authorized and FIPS 140-2 validated, making it suitable for government and defense organizations. Virtru also provides a Data Protection Gateway for server-side encryption of emails and files, and a Private Keystore for organizations that need to host their own encryption keys. With over 6,100 customers, Virtru is trusted by global banks, federal agencies, and companies across the defense industrial base. AiDOOS can assist in deploying Virtru by providing expert implementation, integration with existing workflows, and ongoing support to ensure seamless adoption.

"Straightforward and Effective"
I like how easy it is to encrypt documents. Occasionally, some vendors, like the Santa Barbara county courts, can't receive the encrypted files. It might be their software, but it's still aggravating. It simplifies sending PHI.
A
Admin
"Easy and Secure for Our Practice"
It's extremely simple and secure for our office! No complaints yet! I hope it keeps working well for us! It ensures our emails are safe when communicating with patients.

"Reliable Encryption for External Secure Sharing"
Virtru Email Encryption is excellent for sending protected emails to external contacts or third parties. I trust Virtru for encryption and overall security, giving me confidence that sensitive information is handled properly. The only downside is that the connector in my Gmail inbox keeps randomly disconnecting, requiring me to reconnect it repeatedly. It allows me to share data safely with external parties without security issues. Everything stays encrypted, ensuring it's protected from unauthorized access.
C
Clinical review pharmacist
"Effortless to Activate and Deactivate"
It's very straightforward to toggle on and off; I occasionally forget to disable it for non-sensitive emails. Sending emails directly from Gmail is a breeze.
c
care advocate
"User-Friendly and High-Performing"
I love how simple it is to use, and I'm very satisfied with its performance. The only downside is that some users find it challenging to override the encryption. It secures all our HIPAA records, and it's both highly secure and easy to operate.
S

"Virtru Simplifies Secure Email Sharing"
The biggest advantage is its ease of use! Virtru integrates seamlessly with our current email setup, making secure sharing straightforward without extra complications. Sometimes, the recipient experience is a bit awkward, particularly for external users unfamiliar with Virtru, which can add steps and slow things down. We use Virtru to securely share sensitive information, especially patient data in healthcare, by sending encrypted emails and attachments without resorting to complex tools. This helps us maintain compliance while keeping communication efficient.
F

"Dependable Encryption but Mobile Needs Work"
Virtru Email Encryption impresses me with its simplicity and reliability, rarely encountering errors. Managing it both personally and as part of a team is easy. The initial setup is straightforward, clear, and fast. It also keeps private data secure and confidential, helping our company remain compliant. Occasionally, there are glitches with the mobile app, which disrupts usage when I'm away from the office. Additionally, external collaborators face difficulties when emails need to be exchanged beyond our company's scope. Making that process more seamless would be helpful. Overall, Virtru ensures confidential information stays safe and compliant.
D
Director Of Information Technology
"Encryption with a Single Click Has Transformed Our Work"
The one-click feature has been revolutionary, simplifying encryption for our users. However, I'd like a more convenient way to use it on a mobile device without relying solely on the app. As a healthcare organization, securely transmitting data is vital for us.
M
Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)
"Seamless Secure Email with Virtru"
I really appreciate the ability to use existing logins from platforms like Google or Office 365, or even email-based verification, instead of forcing recipients to create and maintain a separate account. The upload limits are already quite generous, but raising them would still be beneficial for sending larger files. We rely on Virtru Email Encryption to protect sensitive data like Social Security numbers and financial details in our emails. It offers a smooth and efficient method for sending encrypted messages to clients, something we previously lacked.
R
Reception
"Intuitive and Loved by Our Team"
The tool is incredibly user-friendly, and everyone in our workplace has enjoyed using it so far. The only drawback is that we needed to tweak the configuration to avoid issues when opening emails in Office, but that's minor compared to what we previously dealt with. It's resolved the problem of patients being unable to access our emails. With our old system, messages often ended up in spam, so patients didn't receive them correctly.
