Case Study: Total HIPAA achieves persistent control of PHI with Virtru

Total HIPAA Uses Virtru for Proven, Persistent Control of PHI

Total HIPAA advises clients on HIPAA compliance and handles sensitive information that needs protection, so its team needed more than basic point-to-point email encryption. The company also wanted a way to deal with PHI sent to the wrong person and to support the proof required during audits and breach investigations.

With Virtru for Google Gmail, Total HIPAA uses end-to-end encryption, persistent access controls, and detailed audit logs for email and file sharing. Virtru lets the team revoke access, restrict forwarding, set expiration dates, and see whether a recipient viewed a message, helping Total HIPAA respond quickly to security events and document what happened. Jason Karn said Virtru is a “minimal expense” for the security and safety it provides, and Tessa Pope said the company has had “zero to, maybe, five complaints” since starting with Virtru.
