Case Study: Mary McDowell Friends School protects sensitive student data with Virtru

Mary McDowell Friends School cuts deployment to less than a day with Virtru

Mary McDowell Friends School, a Quaker school for students with learning disabilities, faced the challenge of securely transmitting a high volume of sensitive student health information and medical records via email to maintain HIPAA compliance. Their previous strategy of discouraging email use was ineffective, leaving them at significant risk of a data breach. They turned to Virtru for an email encryption solution.

By implementing Virtru's user-friendly platform, the school enabled secure communication for both staff and parents with a deployment that took less than a day. The result was a dramatic reduction in risk; the interim CTO quantified it as dropping from 70-80 out of 100 to near zero. Virtru provided a seamless and intuitive solution that eliminated the worry of a data breach while ensuring compliance.
