Case Study: Cornerstone Clinical Services protects patient privacy and saves time with Virtru

How Cornerstone Clinical Services Protects HIPAA and Patient Privacy

Cornerstone Clinical Services, an outpatient mental health clinic serving the greater Portland area, needed a way to protect sensitive patient communications across its two locations and 30-person team. As the HIPAA Security Rule created new requirements, the practice looked for a solution that was easy to scale, affordable, and did not require a lot of IT sophistication. It chose Virtru for Microsoft Outlook.

Virtru helped Cornerstone Clinical Services secure internal and external email communications while keeping day-to-day work simple for staff. Tim Perkins said Virtru allowed for decryption at the inbox for within-organization emails, which he described as a huge time saver, and noted that setup and license reallocation were easy and straightforward. Cornerstone has relied on Virtru since 2006 to protect sensitive communications and support HIPAA compliance without slowing clinical operations.
