Case Study: Hidalgo County achieves secure, CJIS-compliant custom app workflows with Virtru

Hidalgo County, TX Easily Builds End-to-End Encryption Into Custom App Workflows Using the Virtru Trusted Data Platform

Hidalgo County, Texas — which serves nearly 900,000 residents — needed to ensure Criminal Justice Information (CJI) was encrypted end-to-end to meet CJIS compliance for inbound email and newly created custom app workflows that auto-generate and distribute reports. Already using Virtru’s Gmail encryption, the county chose Virtru’s Trusted Data Platform and SDK to extend that protection into its in-house applications.

Virtru’s Solutions Engineering team provided API credentials and SDK guidance, allowing Hidalgo County to layer end-to-end encryption into custom workflows without cryptographic expertise and be up and running within a day. The implementation made automated report delivery CJIS-compliant, enabled secure, seamless collaboration across agencies, and improved service delivery — outcomes Virtru helped achieve through repeatable, lightweight integration into the county’s apps.
