Case Study: French Red Cross strengthens secure data sharing and data sovereignty with Virtru

French Red Cross secures data for 81,000 members with Virtru

The French Red Cross (Croix Rouge) needed to secure highly sensitive personal data shared during its humanitarian work, particularly for its Restoration of Family Links program. The challenge was to protect this information from unauthorized access while collaborating with numerous independent international sister organizations, all while ensuring data sovereignty as a France-based entity using Google Workspace. They implemented Virtru's Secure Share product to address this.

Virtru provided an end-to-end encryption solution integrated directly into Google Workspace, which was simple for employees and volunteers of all technical abilities to use. The solution allowed the French Red Cross to maintain complete data sovereignty by shielding information from its cloud provider and hosting its own encryption keys. By implementing Virtru, the organization achieved a robust Zero Trust security posture, enabling secure and efficient collaboration with external partners and ensuring sensitive data remains protected.
