We believe no one should have to choose between protecting data and sharing it. We help more than 20,000 organizations, large and small, across almost every industry, protect data wherever it’s created or shared so they can collaborate with confidence.

Virtru is a certified partner for Google CSE encryption key management to support heightened privacy and compliance for Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides within Google Cloud.

Encrypt files ranging from PDF to Word, PowerPoint, Excel, PNG, and CAD files uploaded to Google Drive to prevent unauthorized access.

Privacy
Ensure files uploaded to and shared from Google Drive stay private, so you don’t have to trust Google with your data.

Compliance
Maintain compliance with data privacy regulations such as HIPAA, GDPR, CJIS, ITAR, CCPA, FERPA, CMMC, NIST, and more.

Secure Sharing
Protect files stored in Drive and maintain control wherever they’re shared—both internally and externally, beyond Google.

End-to-End Encryption
Object-level, client-side encryption for files uploaded to Google Drive.

Persistent Access Controls
Access revocation, expiration, disable sharing, and watermarking give you persistent control, wherever Drive files are shared.

Watermarking
Watermark files uploaded to Drive with recipients’ names, helping prevent file-based data leaks as they’re shared externally.

Andy Lodge (ID: 000000f4bfad1ae0) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 07/05/2019 I want to like it as the Gmail extension is great and this looks easy to use too... BUT it just will not install. I get the activate popup but after clicking OK it seems to get stuck in a loop asking me again but not doing anything...
