Overview
Virtru is a Google Partner providing data-centric security. Our solutions complement Google’s native security by adding an extra layer of encryption and access control to the Google Workspace apps you use every day. 

Protect sensitive information with one click, without leaving Google Workspace. 

Easily share and store sensitive information with advanced controls to manage exactly who can access your data, how, and when.

Encrypt data to support compliance requirements like CMMC, ITAR, HIPAA, CJIS, GDPR, CCPA, FERPA, NIST, and GLBA.

Instantly revoke access or make changes at any time you choose — even after the data has been shared externally. 

Make it easy for the recipient to access encrypted information that’s been shared with them: No new passwords or software to install.

Optionally, host your own private encryption keys for complete data sovereignty and control of your cloud data. Neither Google nor Virtru can access your protected information, because we cannot access your private key.

Gmail End-to-End Encryption
Take complete control of information shared via Gmail, even after it’s left your organization. Virtru can be used in two primary ways within Gmail, which can be used independently or together:

Virtru for Gmail (Chrome Plugin)
Virtru for Gmail provides a simple toggle button for users to encrypt messages and attachments containing sensitive information. It’s seamless and easy to use. 

Revoke messages, disable forwarding, set expiration, add attachment watermarking and prevent downloading.

Automate encryption with DLP rules that detect and protect sensitive data. 

Virtru Private Keystore + Google Client-Side Encryption for Gmail 
Google Workspace CSE allows organizations to host their own keys used to encrypt the data stored in their Google Workspace cloud. With Virtru Private Keystore, you can rest comfortably knowing that neither Google or Virtru can access your sensitive data.

To use CSE, you need to choose a third-party key management partner like Virtru, or invest the time and money to build your own key management service with the CSE API. 

Unlike other key management solutions, the Virtru Private Keystore is optimized for Google Workspace, making it affordable and easy to deploy. Virtru manages hundreds of millions of Google encryption keys every day. 

End-to-End Encryption for Google Workspace: Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, and More
Virtru is a certified partner for Google Workspace CSE, providing heightened privacy and compliance for Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Meet, Calendar, and more. These solutions can be used alone or together: 

Virtru for Google Drive
Encrypt and apply granular access controls to files uploaded and shared via Drive.

Disable re-sharing, add watermarking, and set access expiration dates.

Virtru Private Keystore + Google Workspace CSE
Google Workspace CSE allows organizations to use their own keys to encrypt their data stored in Google Cloud. 

To use CSE, you need to choose a third-party key management partner like Virtru, or invest the time and money to build your own key management service with the CSE API. 

Unlike other key management solutions, the Virtru Private Keystore is optimized for Google Workspace, making it affordable and easy to deploy. Virtru manages hundreds of millions of Google encryption keys every day.

Virtru gives me more headaches than any other technology I have ever worked with before in my life. I normally do not write reviews but this extension makes me want to pull my hair out. It fails multiple times a day forcing me to relaunch chrome only for it to fail again within minutes. I would not not recommend this add-on for anyone and the only reason I use it is because my company requires it. What a complete steaming pile of **** this add-on is.

Virtru is simple to use and for the most part, it works great. But there are a number of times when my users have issues and we go through the process of deleting browser cache to get a message to display. Sometimes, drafts are completely lost for inexplicable reasons. My biggest gripe with Virtru is how it currently cannot work alongside Salesforce's Lightning for Gmail add-on. The two companies blame each other for it not working and Virtru has claimed many times over the last year-plus that they have a fix, but so far, no fix has been presented. I know I listed a lot to not like about Virtru, but from my experience, it is still one of the better encrypted email services out there and we continue to pay for their premium offering.

This is hands down the best app I have used in Google. The ability to send secure messages that are HIPAA compliant is an awesome time saver for staff and clients. Get this app!!!

This is a fantastic tool for HIPAA Compliance. ONE MAJOR TIP: if you are having problems with the mobile app (iOS), try logging off, relogging back in and updating the security credential settings for Gmail. Works like a charm if you have any problems with "losing secure connection to the server" errors.

I am not happy with this app at all. It automatically now encrypts my emails and I even disabled it. I cant seem to get anyone to return my calls.

Works great so far, but publisher non-responsive on giving ETA on when it will stop being beta or give possible future pricing for non-profits.

It hangs refreshing organizational information, which is the first window after installations. There are only 4 users!
