Case Study: Town of North Andover eliminates file-sharing bottlenecks with Virtru

Town of North Andover, Massachusetts, Eliminates File-Sharing Bottlenecks with Virtru

The Town of North Andover, Massachusetts, wanted a better way to protect sensitive data while supporting secure sharing across its 300 Google Workspace users. The municipality’s five-person IT team needed more visibility and control over data shared with other government agencies, especially for CJIS, HIPAA, PHI, and PII content.

The Town of North Andover implemented Virtru Data Protection Gateway and Virtru for Google Gmail, using both client-side and server-side encryption. Virtru automatically scans outgoing email, encrypts or blocks sensitive data when needed, and lets the town track, manage, and audit shared content after it leaves the organization, reducing manual review and helping free up employee and manager time.
