As a leader in specialized insurance and financial planning services, including healthcare-related products, protecting client privacy and ensuring regulatory compliance is paramount for Jimmy Hwang, CEO of Hansol Financial & Insurance Marketing.
"I needed a secure and user-friendly platform to securely share sensitive information," Hwang said.
In an industry where HIPAA compliance and other stringent data protection standards are non-negotiable, finding the right solution to safeguard client data while maintaining operational efficiency was crucial for Hansol's continued success.
When searching for an encryption solution that could meet their complex needs, Hwang turned to a trusted source: the Google Workspace team. Their recommendation led him directly to Virtru, which stood out for its robust security features and seamless integration with Google Workspace.
"Google's endorsement of Virtru gave us confidence in our choice," Hwang remarked. "We knew we needed a solution that could handle the stringent requirements of HIPAA, and Virtru fit the bill perfectly."
In short, Hwang's team took to the new system quickly: "Took me 1 minute to teach my staff and they were up and running."
This incredibly smooth and rapid deployment ensured that Hansol could enhance its data security and compliance posture almost instantly, with minimal disruption to their daily operations. The one-click encryption and decryption process, integrated directly into Gmail's compose window, made the transition particularly seamless for Hwang's team.
Virtru's integration with Gmail workflows has proven invaluable for Hansol. The ability to encrypt emails and attachments with a single click, while maintaining an intuitive experience for recipients, has streamlined their communication processes.
"Our clients and partners appreciate that they don't need to create new accounts or remember additional passwords to access encrypted information," Hwang noted. This ease of use for recipients has helped Hansol maintain efficient communication channels while ensuring data protection.
Another key benefit for Hansol has been the increased visibility into their data sharing practices. Virtru's tracking features allow Hwang and his team to monitor email opens and file shares, providing valuable insights for auditing purposes. The ability to revoke access to sent emails or set expiration dates has given Hansol an additional layer of control over sensitive information.
When asked what he would tell another company considering Virtru, Hwang simply said, "Great support and the value proposition on the pricing is worth the cost."
Virtru has become an integral part of Hansol Financial & Insurance Marketing's daily operations. Its robust security features and ease of use have allowed Hwang and his team to focus on their core business of providing insurance and financial planning services. The quick implementation and seamless integration with their existing systems have proven particularly valuable.
"We're not cutting corners on security," Hwang stated plainly. "Virtru gets the job done without the fuss." This no-nonsense approach to data protection has allowed Hansol to focus on what truly matters: serving their clients' insurance and financial planning needs with confidence and integrity.
