HIPAA Compliant Email and File Transfer for Healthcare Organizations
Virtru empowers healthcare providers — from private practices to large hospital systems — to respect and protect patient health records, in motion and at rest.
Multi-cloud environments that support digital care delivery may leave protected health information (PHI) at risk of exposure, raising concerns regarding patient confidentiality and compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
With persistent data protection and granular access controls, Virtru empowers healthcare organizations to securely share PHI via email (including Gmail and Outlook), as well as CRM apps like Zendesk and Salesforce.
The #1 reason customers choose Virtru is because it's so easy to use — not just for your internal users and admins, but also for external recipients. You serve a wide variety of patients with varying technology skills, so you need a simple, yet secure, way to share information with them. Virtru delivers that simplicity: Recipients don't have to create any new accounts or install any software to open their Virtru-protected message.
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 provides patients a secure way to share medical records and other documentation with your office — and vice versa.
"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.”
