Case Study: City of Riverdale, Georgia secures sensitive citizen data with Virtru Email Encryption

City of Riverdale secures sensitive citizen data with Virtru in Outlook

The City of Riverdale, Georgia, a municipal government, needed a secure method to share sensitive citizen data externally, moving away from unreliable fax. Their challenge was to find a solution that protected data in transit while ensuring staff would actually use it, as traditional options like Microsoft's native encryption created too much recipient friction. They turned to the vendor Virtru and its product, Virtru for Outlook.

Virtru implemented its email encryption which integrates directly into Microsoft Outlook, requiring no change in workflow for city staff. The solution provided persistent protection for sensitive data, ensured compliance with requirements like IRS Publication 1075, and offered a seamless experience for external recipients who did not need a Virtru account. The result was seamless adoption with no workflow disruption and reliable data security, allowing the city to modernize its document sharing processes effectively.
