Case Study: UK Energy Provider achieves secure, compliant email communication with Virtru

UK Energy Provider secures email for 6 million households with Virtru

A UK energy provider, one of the country's largest serving over 6 million households, faced the challenge of securing sensitive customer and corporate data while meeting strict GDPR and PCI compliance. They also needed to securely onboard new employees remotely before company IT assets could be issued. To address this, they implemented Virtru's email encryption products for Gmail and Outlook.

Using Virtru, the energy provider revolutionized its remote onboarding, replacing insecure phone calls and password-protected attachments with encrypted email. The solution was easy to deploy and intuitive for employees of all technical levels to use. As a result, the organization can now securely communicate with new hires, protect sensitive data within their existing email platforms, and ensure compliance with key regulations. Virtru plays a vital role in supporting the company's secure communications during ongoing organizational change.
