Introducing Virtru Collaborate: Create Secure, Governed Workspaces for External Sharing

Secure storage, simple collaboration, and granular control scalable for enterprises and small businesses alike. Meet Virtru Collaborate. 

Virtru Collaborate represents a significant expansion of our commitment to helping organizations collaborate securely on sensitive files without sacrificing control, compliance, or productivity.

Built on the same Virtru platform trusted by Federal agencies in the most demanding environments, Virtru Collaborate brings enterprise-ready capabilities to organizations that need to scale secure collaboration across complex partner ecosystems.

The Collaboration Security Dilemma

Organizations with strict compliance obligations face a quandary: enable the external collaboration their business demands, or maintain the security and control their regulations require.

Need to share CUI with supply chain partners? PHI with external care coordination teams? Financial records with auditors and advisors? Traditional solutions force you to either lock down collaboration entirely or lose visibility and control the moment files leave your environment. And for enterprises managing hundreds or thousands of external relationships, this lack of control creates unacceptable risk exposure and audit complexity.

Virtru Collaborate eliminates this tradeoff.

A Simple, Secure Environment for File Storage and External Collaboration

Unlike conventional file sharing and storage solutions, Virtru Collaborate embeds protection directly into the file itself using an open standard called The Trusted Data Format (TDF). This means your governance policies, access controls, and audit capabilities travel with your data, even after files are shared externally.

Share controlled unclassified information (CUI), protected health information (PHI), or confidential financial records with complete confidence. You maintain authority over access, permissions, and visibility no matter where your files go or who has them.

For enterprises, this means a single control plane for managing sensitive data across your entire partner ecosystem, without requiring partners to adopt new platforms or change their workflows.
