Case Study: Maryland Department of Education achieves CJIS-compliant cloud migration and easy-to-use data protection with Virtru

Maryland Uses Virtru to Enable Distributed Teams with Easy-to-Use Data Protection for CJIS Compliance in the Cloud

Maryland Dept. of Education faced a cloud migration challenge: consolidate 25 independent agency email servers, protect regulated private data, and maintain Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) compliance for more than 44,000 users while ensuring user adoption across distributed teams. They partnered with Virtru to provide end-to-end email encryption and cloud data protection to keep direct control and oversight of sensitive information during the move.

Virtru deployed its data protection platform and email encryption to secure cloud workflows, enable quick installation, and enforce CJIS-compliant access controls. The solution consolidated email infrastructure into a single system for 44,000 users, made sharing regulated data via email and cloud storage seamless, expedited constituent services, and reduced internal IT burden—saving time and resources while maintaining compliance.
