Case Study: Evergreen Life Services achieves HIPAA-compliant email protection with Virtru

Evergreen Life Services protects PHI across 2,300 email accounts with Virtru

Evergreen Life Services, a nonprofit disability advocacy organization, faced the challenge of securing vast amounts of protected health information (PHI) across its 2,300 email accounts without creating operational friction or burdening its staff with complex security protocols. Their mission-critical need was to maintain seamless communication with families and partners while ensuring strict HIPAA compliance. They turned to vendor Virtru and implemented its Virtru Data Protection Gateway and Virtru for Gmail products to automate this protection.

Virtru's solution provided automated, intelligent encryption through customizable Security Rules that detect and encrypt emails containing sensitive data while allowing routine communications to flow freely. This eliminated the security training burden and reduced human error. The result was a seamless transition that strengthened Evergreen's HIPAA compliance without disrupting its operations, as evidenced by a complete lack of negative feedback from partners. Virtru empowered the nonprofit to focus its resources on its core mission of serving individuals with disabilities.
