Case Study: Valley Youth House achieves HIPAA-compliant email encryption with Virtru

Valley Youth House secures PHI across every department with Virtru

Valley Youth House, a nonprofit providing services to vulnerable youth, needed a HIPAA-compliant email encryption solution to protect sensitive client data shared internally and with external partners. Their previous reliance on TLS encryption was insufficient, as many partners did not support it, creating compliance risks and privacy concerns. They turned to the vendor Virtru for a secure solution using Virtru for Gmail and Outlook.

Virtru implemented a domain-wide email encryption solution that was both user-friendly and end-to-end encrypted. This allowed Valley Youth House to securely share protected health information with all required parties while maintaining HIPAA compliance. The result was improved control over sensitive data across all departments, seamless integration into existing email workflows, and more efficient collaboration, as staff could communicate without worrying about privacy or compliance violations. Virtru's solution enabled the organization to fulfill its mission while firmly protecting client privacy.
