Pandemic Response
Effectively curbing COVID-19 depends on our ability to collaborate while preserving data privacy.
Healthcare experts responding to the global coronavirus pandemic need access to data to track and slow its spread and allocate resources, like protective gear and medical supplies, where they are most needed.
Data privacy must be foundational to an effective response, to enhance both safety and trust. Success depends on giving individuals verifiable control over their data so that they are willing to contribute their private information.
The Virtru Trusted Data Platform (TDP) ensures data is used only for its intended purpose and includes strong controls that give individuals the power to share, approve, and revoke access to their sensitive information at any time.
Assuring verifiable control builds trust that, in turn, allows healthcare providers, government officials, and others quickly and accurately generate new and better insights from data, leading to more effective action plans that will allow us to reopen our economy sooner, without sacrificing privacy.

Establishing a system that tracks individual movements and health conditions in real time could help lift physical distancing requirements, as it would identify individuals infected with COVID-19 for containment. In order to address this issue without putting individual privacy at risk, contact tracing analysis must ensure that data owners remain in control and willingly “donate” it vs. establishing big brother-like surveillance states. Virtru’s Trusted Data Platform gives individuals control over exactly how their tracking data is used by:
During a health event such as the COVID-19 outbreak, the ability to identify gaps in health system capacity and equipment availability is critical to creating an action plan. To effectively determine where and when to send resources in times of disaster, healthcare organizations must trust the public institutions they are being asked to share their data with. Using Virtru’s Trusted Data Platform, healthcare providers can:
Virtru’s Trusted Data Platform delivers on the unmet potential for health analytics by leveraging cryptography to manage data access, analysis, and audit, empowering data owners to share insights while maintaining control as they respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.
