Virtru enables secure, compliant communications between teachers, parents, and students to support distance learning initiatives.
Advances in technology have begun to transform education, allowing educators to implement distance learning initiatives that extend the reach of their curriculum beyond the physical classroom. Digital tools allow teachers to tailor learning to students’ personal needs, improve parent communications, and boost internal productivity and efficiency.
While these trends bring significant opportunities for student learning and development, they also carry significant risks. Cloud environments that support eLearning initiatives and digital communications leave sensitive data at risk of exposure, raising concerns regarding privacy and compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Federal Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) a primary concern.
“Virtru has improved our email security posture pretty dramatically. With security products, you always have to worry about user adoption, but Virtru is so easy to use that this hasn’t been an issue.”
– Mark Dieterich, Director of IT and Security, Brown University
End-to-end encryption prevents unauthorized access to email and files containing sensitive student data to meet FERPA & HIPAA compliance requirements and maintain student privacy.
As sensitive student data is shared across cloud environments, Virtru keeps it secure with persistent protection and lets you govern access throughout the student data lifecycle.
Virtru’s seamless user experience ensures broad adoption. End-to-end encryption and access controls are embedded where teachers, administrators, parents, and other users already work.
“ The administration and IT team believe that something as important as data protection should not be reserved for districts that can afford it. Virtru has filled that inequity gap for us, and that’s so important.”
– Sunshine Miller, Director of Technology, Newfield Central School District
