Case Study: Largest Energy Supplier secures GDPR-compliant email and onboarding with Virtru

UK Energy Provider Powers Through Organizational Change with Compliance-Driven Email

Largest Energy Supplier, one of the largest energy suppliers in the UK, serves over 6 million households with electricity and gas while managing sensitive customer, personnel, and legal data. Working in a heavily regulated environment, the company needed a way to protect email communications and support GDPR, PCI, smart energy code requirements, and ISO 27501 compliance, especially during pandemic-era remote onboarding.

With Virtru for Google Gmail and Virtru for Microsoft Outlook, Largest Energy Supplier securely shared confidential information with new employees before they had company identities and protected sensitive data within Gmail and Microsoft 365. Virtru also helped replace older processes involving phone calls and password-protected attachments, and the IT team reported that deployment was easy and the tool was intuitive for users across different skill levels.
