Case Study: Newfield Central School District achieves compliant student data protection with Virtru

Newfield Central School District closes the inequity gap with Virtru and secures student data across Google Workspace

The Newfield Central School District, a financially constrained educational institution in New York, faced the challenge of protecting sensitive student data to comply with Ed Law 2-D on a very limited budget. The district needed an affordable solution to encrypt data both in transit and at rest within its newly adopted Google Workspace environment. They turned to the vendor Virtru and its products, Virtru for Gmail and Virtru for Google Drive, to address this critical need.

By implementing Virtru's encryption suite, the district achieved full compliance with state regulations and closed the inequity gap for data protection, ensuring comprehensive security for its students. Virtru provided an easy-to-use and powerful solution that was quickly adopted by educators, allowing them to securely share sensitive information. The result was a strengthened security posture that protected student privacy without straining the district's tight technology budget.
