Case Study: Chartered Management Institute achieves GDPR compliance and secure cross-department data sharing with Virtru

Chartered Management Institute (CMI) Breaks Down Data Silos with Virtru

Chartered Management Institute (CMI) is a U.K. professional body that supports managers and leaders and serves an engaged community of over 150,000 members and 100,000+ active learners. CMI needed to share a wide variety of personal data while maintaining GDPR compliance within Google Workspace, so it selected Virtru’s end-to-end encryption for Google Workspace (including Gmail and Google Drive) to secure sensitive information and reduce data-sharing silos.

Virtru implemented organization-wide encryption and configurable Data Loss Prevention (DLP) rules across Google Workspace, deploying Virtru licenses for every employee. As a result, CMI achieved GDPR compliance in Google Workspace, built a DLP framework to automatically encrypt the most sensitive data while educating users, enabled secure communications between staff and participants, and now protects personal data across its 100,000+ active learners and 150,000-member community.
