Case Study: Health IQ Achieves HIPAA-Compliant Cloud Security with Virtru

Health IQ scales cloud security with Virtru after $136 million in funding

Health iQ, a cloud-first insurance broker, needed to protect sensitive customer payment details and health information (PHI) to meet HIPAA and other regulatory requirements. The company required a scalable data protection solution that could integrate seamlessly with its Google Workspace environment and support its rapidly growing, fully remote workforce. They turned to vendor Virtru and implemented Virtru encryption for Google Workspace.

Virtru provided a solution that integrated natively with Gmail and Google Drive, making encryption a default and natural part of employee workflows. The implementation allowed Health iQ to easily onboard new employees, utilize a warning feature to prevent data loss, and integrate usage data with their SIEM tool for full visibility. As a result, Virtru enabled the company to achieve compliance, securely protect PHI, and operationalize data loss prevention quickly without complex infrastructure, supporting their continued agile growth.
