Case Study: Venture Forthe, Inc. achieves HIPAA-compliant patient privacy and secure Gmail email with Virtru

Virtru Ensures Privacy for Venture Forthe’s Home Care Patients and Providers

Venture Forthe, Inc., a licensed homecare agency with more than 1,200 employees and many nurses working in the field, needed a simple, Gmail-compatible way to secure time-sensitive patient communications after doubling their number of email users and migrating to Google G Suite. To meet state and federal privacy regulations like HIPAA without disrupting fast-paced workflows, they evaluated encryption options and selected Virtru.

Virtru deployed its Google-integrated email encryption, offering guided, “foolproof” installation and in-message controls (disable forwarding, expirations, PDF watermarking) so staff require little-to-no training. As a result, Venture Forthe renewed the relationship with Virtru after the first year, streamlined secure communication across departments, simplified HIPAA compliance, and benefited from responsive customer support to keep patient data protected while enabling faster field workflows.
