Set Domain-wide Maximum Expiration Date for Externally Shared Data

Written by Virtru Product Marketing | Nov 12, 2026, 4:15:03 PM

Data has to move, and governance should travel with it, including how long outside recipients keep access. With Max Policy Duration in the Virtru Control Center, administrators can set the longest expiration date users can apply to protected email and files shared outside the organization. Set it once, and Virtru enforces it across every Virtru product.

  • Apply one expiration policy across your organization, set centrally in Control Center instead of left to each user

  • Keep external access on your terms by capping how long recipients outside your organization can access protected content
  • Prevent accidental long-lived shares with a limit enforced as users work, both when they share and when they edit an expiration date late.
  • Support data retention and governance programs with expiration limits that back the policies you've defined

Max Policy Duration is ideal for organizations that regularly share sensitive information with partners, vendors, clients and other third parties. Administrators choose the maximum duration that fits their policies. Users can choose any expiration date up to that limit, so they keep flexibility while every external share has an end date within your limit.

Max Policy Duration is available now in the Virtru Control Center for all Virtru products.
