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

Town of North Andover secures 300 employees with Virtru

The Town of North Andover, a municipality in Massachusetts, faced challenges with securely sharing and auditing sensitive data like CJIS and HIPAA information between government agencies. Their existing security measures lacked automated data protection, forcing staff to manually review file-sharing requests and creating bottlenecks. To overcome this, the town implemented Virtru's email encryption and Data Protection Gateway.

With Virtru's solution, the town automated the encryption of sensitive outbound data, eliminating reliance on manual processes and reducing human error. This provided the IT team with full visibility and control over shared data, including the ability to track, audit, and revoke access even after emails were sent. As a result, Virtru enabled secure, compliant data sharing that improved both employee productivity and managerial efficiency.
