Case Study: Iowa Government protects sensitive citizen data and cuts costs with Virtru

Iowa's Government protects sensitive data and saves $214 million with Virtru

The State of Iowa government faced the challenge of securing sensitive citizen data across its hybrid Microsoft and Google infrastructure during a major consolidation effort. They needed a robust encryption solution to protect information like medical and financial records, replacing their difficult-to-use and inadequate previous provider, Zix. The state chose to implement Virtru's products for Gmail and Outlook.

Virtru provided a seamless, end-to-end encryption solution that worked across both Microsoft and Google environments, ensuring data remained protected during the organizational transition. The implementation gave administrators unprecedented visibility through detailed audit trails and allowed for targeted, cost-efficient security. By choosing Virtru, Iowa enhanced its data protection for critical citizen information while supporting a consolidation project projected to save $214 million over four years.
