Case Study: New York City Health + Hospitals secures PHI and PII collaboration with Virtru

For New York City Health + Hospitals, Virtru Bridges Security Between Google and Microsoft Exchange

New York City Health + Hospitals, the largest municipal health system in the U.S., needed a way to protect highly sensitive protected health information and personally identifiable information while expanding collaboration. As it rolled out Google Workspace licenses for 20,000 employees, the team faced compliance risks when sharing patient information externally through Google Drive.

Virtru provided Google Drive encryption and Outlook email encryption to give New York City Health + Hospitals persistent, granular protection for files and email. With Virtru integrated into Google Workspace and Microsoft Outlook, authorized staff can share sensitive content externally while maintaining access controls, audit logs, and HIPAA-aligned protection, supporting the organization’s move toward a zero trust security model.
