Data-Centric Gmail Protection
End-to-End Email Encryption
Encrypt messages and attachments directly within Gmail, before the data reaches Google’s servers, preventing access by Google and other unauthorized parties, everywhere they’re shared.
Granular Access Controls
Set expiration, disable forwarding, and watermark attachments with recipients’ names to deter them from leaking sensitive files.
Instant Revocation
Revoke access to messages and attachments immediately when emails are sent in error, or after the data within has become more sensitive.
Persistent File Protection
Keep attachments under your control even after they’re moved from Gmail to desktops, shared network folders, Google Drive, or anywhere else files are stored and shared.
End-to-end encryption and granular access controls are embedded directly within the Gmail web client.
“We selected Virtru due to their thoughtful user interface and best in class data protection.”
-Ravi Pendse, VP and CIO, Brown University
End users can easily see who has accessed, read, and forwarded email and attachments.
Industry-Leading Ease of Use
Easy, On-Demand Protection
Senders apply protections with a flip of a switch. Encryption and controls are embedded in the native Gmail user experience with a simple Chrome extension, ensuring user adoption.
Seamless Recipient Access
Users with Virtru read and respond transparently, directly from their inbox. External recipients without Virtru access protected email through the Secure Reader with existing credentials – non-Google recipients don’t need a new account and password.
Persistent Visibility
Senders can easily view who has accessed or forwarded email, throughout the full data lifecycle, and can always revoke access or adapt controls.
“We like the control features. For example, being able to revoke a message, and have an audit trail, really sets Virtru apart.”
-Dave Steck, VP of IT Infrastructure, Schnucks Market
Painless, Enterprise-Ready Administration
Seamless Deployments
Deploy to all users, or specific groups or OUs, via managed Chrome installs to get users up and running in minutes.
Granular Audit & SIEM Integration
Maintain visibility of who has accessed or forwarded your organization’s email throughout their lifecycle. Integrate with your SIEM to strengthen threat response and compliance workflows.
Automatic, Rules-Based Protection
Automatically enforce encryption with DLP rules that detect and protect sensitive data. Reinforce security awareness with alerts that warn users to encrypt email.
Key Management at Scale
Integrate with existing key management processes and HSMs. Host your own keys for full control, while Virtru manages policies and key exchanges.
Google Vault Support
Search, decrypt, and export archived messages directly from Google Vault.
The Virtru Dashboard lets admins configure Email Rules for Data Loss Prevention to detect and protect sensitive data.
“Virtru’s ease of use and fast implementation sets it apart from other solutions.”
-Steve Mena, VP of Operations, Premier Health Care
The Virtru Difference
Unlike other email encryption options, Virtru keeps messages and attachments protected throughout their full lifecycle, while ease of use ensures adoption and maximizes ROI.
No Third Party Access
Virtru’s end-to-end encryption, powered by the open standard Trusted Data Format, keeps plaintext data shielded from access by the email provider and other unauthorized parties.
No New Accounts
Virtru leverages existing account credentials. External recipients never have to create new usernames and passwords to access protected email.
No Keywords to Remember
Other approaches rely on keywords to protect email that busy users forget, putting email at risk. Virtru offers keyword-based AND on-demand protections that senders turn on by simply flipping a switch.
No Manual Key Exchanges
Unlike other end-to-end solutions, users never have to exchange keys. Virtru hosts keys and manages exchanges, making it easy for users to collaborate securely. You can also host your own keys.
No Separate Portal Applications or Software to Install
Virtru integrates seamlessly with existing email clients, including Gmail and Outlook. You don’t have to introduce redundant portal applications and new workflows that frustrate users.
No Forced Vendor Trust or Blind Subpoena Risk
Most vendors force you to trust them to host your data and the keys protecting it, risking blind government subpoenas. Virtru reduces this risk by storing keys separately from the data.
