### Easily Onboard and Support Healthcare Customers

If you're a health tech company working with providers, payers, or hospital systems, you likely encounter PHI as part of your daily work.

Ensure patient data remains safe with Virtru data security for [Microsoft 365](https://www.virtru.com/data-security-platform/microsoft-365?hsLang=en) and [Google Workspace](https://www.virtru.com/data-security-platform/google-workspace?hsLang=en). Virtru's granular access controls reduce the risk of data exposure and provides granular access controls.

### Empower Providers with Easy-to-Use Tools

Virtru is simple to use, which is why it's trusted by healthcare providers of all sizes, from major hospital systems to small practices. 

Virtru makes it easy for you to collaborate with your network of patients, insurers, and fellow physicians to orchestrate care for your patients. 

- **Give patients a secure way to share medical records and paperwork** with [Virtru Secure Share](https://www.virtru.com/data-security-platform/virtru-secure-share?hsLang=en): Patients can upload and submit encrypted files in a simple interface, accessible from any browser.
- **No new accounts or passwords.** Reduce the administrative work of resetting passwords and helping customers access encrypted information. With Virtru, they can use their existing credentials for Google or Microsoft. 
- **Streamline communications** by using email and simple file sharing instead of clunky, legacy portals for ad-hoc data sharing with external parties.

![Total HIPAA Logo](https://www.virtru.com/hubfs/total-hipaa-logo-cropped_500x.png)

"Just having data encrypted point-to-point doesn't solve the problem. If that's all it took, then Gmail, Google Workspace, and Office 365 would be sufficient. The real issue is, ‘What do you do when you send PHI to the wrong person?’ Virtru is a minimal expense for the security and safety it provides.”

Chief Compliance Officer

## HIPAA Compliant Email and File Transfer for Healthcare Organizations

Virtru empowers healthcare organizations — from hospital systems to health tech enterprises — to protect medical data that needs to be shared.

### Reduce Risk Exposure with Granular Controls over Emails and Files

If your teams are using ad-hoc cloud-based file sharing tools, they might be putting PHI and PII at risk. 

Virtru integrates with the tools you team uses every day — like Microsoft 365, Gmail, Google Drive, Zendesk, and more — to give you granular control over each email and file that is shared externally.  Easily and securely share PHI via email (including [Gmail](https://www.virtru.com/data-protection-platform/email-encryption/gmail?hsLang=en) and [Outlook](https://www.virtru.com/data-protection-platform/email-encryption/microsoft-office-365?hsLang=en)), as well as CRM apps like [Zendesk and Salesforce](https://www.virtru.com/products/integrations?hsLang=en).

### Encryption That's Easy for Everyone

 No new accounts, no legacy portals, and no sotware to install. Virtru delivers a seamless experience for both internal and external users, so you can focus on the important work of delivering healthcare solutions. Ease of use is the #1 reason customers choose Virtru. ![Product-Page-Images-SecureShare-Viewer_SecureShare - Viewer](https://www.virtru.com/hubfs/Product-Page-Images-SecureShare-Viewer_SecureShare%20-%20Viewer.webp)

### Retire the Fax Machine and Other Legacy Practices

Use protected email and encrypted files to communicate with patients and external providers, when sharing PHI via fax and other offline methods isn’t possible or practical. For sending and receiving large files, [Virtru Secure Share ](https://www.virtru.com/data-protection-platform/secure-share?hsLang=en)provides patients a secure way to share medical records and other documentation with your office — and vice versa.  ![Image showing available message options using Virtru](https://www.virtru.com/hubfs/assets/images/product%20page/product-page-img8.webp)

### Strengthen HIPAA Compliance and Build Trust

 Demonstrate to your patients and clients that their data is in good hands: Virtru gives the data owner full control of their data at all times. Set expiration dates, prevent downloading, and add a watermark for advanced security. If a message is sent in error, you can revoke access at any time.  ![Product-Page-Images-ControlCenter-New-21](https://www.virtru.com/hubfs/Product-Page-Images-ControlCenter-New-21.webp) 

![product screenshot-preveil-v-virtru-01](https://www.virtru.com/hubfs/assets/temporary%20(use%20this%20for%20uploading%20unoptimized%20images,%20videos,%20etc)/product%20screenshot-preveil-v-virtru-01.png) ![Product-Page-Images-SecureShare-Viewer_SecureShare - Viewer](https://www.virtru.com/hubfs/Product-Page-Images-SecureShare-Viewer_SecureShare%20-%20Viewer.webp) ![Image showing available message options using Virtru](https://www.virtru.com/hubfs/assets/images/product%20page/product-page-img8.webp) ![Product-Page-Images-ControlCenter-New-21](https://www.virtru.com/hubfs/Product-Page-Images-ControlCenter-New-21.webp)

“Employees used to block time at the end of the day, in a separate window, to deal with encrypted messages because it was so time consuming — Whereas, if they're working in Virtru, they can respond more quickly and execute work for the customer in a more efficient manner.”

### Effortless Email Encryption for Peace of Mind and HIPAA Compliance

Everyone makes mistakes, but a HIPAA breach is a big deal. Provide peace of mind by automating email encryption for PHI. The automated [Virtru Gateway](https://www.virtru.com/data-security-platform/virtru-data-gateway?hsLang=en) can detect and automatically encrypt sensitive data before it leaves your organization, based on the keywords you identify. Virtru also provides client-side encryption that integrates seamlessly with [Gmail](https://www.virtru.com/data-security-platform/email-encryption/gmail?hsLang=en) and [Microsoft Outlook](https://www.virtru.com/data-security-platform/microsoft-365?hsLang=en). If a user sends PHI to the wrong person, admins can act quickly to revoke access at any time, with an audit trail to verify whether that data was accessed.

### Take Control of Your Encryption Keys

Add a layer of control to your encryption by hosting your encryption keys in the location of your choosing: On premises, or in a virtual private cloud. Virtru Private Keystore puts the control in your hands and equips you to separate your keys from your content, putting you in the driver's seat — not your cloud provider.

"It’s huge to have your entire domain protected. We're in healthcare; we're a physical therapy company, and to have that level of advanced data protection without having to think about it, that’s priceless. Between Virtru’s email security and the Virtru Secure Share integration for Zendesk, our most common and highest-volume collaboration workflows can remain secure.”
