Product summary

Easily protect Gmail messages and attachments, and maintain control wherever they’re shared.

At Virtru, we understand that data is an organization’s most valuable asset and sharing it is critical for business success. But sharing data creates significant risk. We believe no one should have to choose between protecting data and sharing it. We help more than 6100+ organizations, large and small, across almost every industry, protect data wherever it’s created or shared so they can collaborate with confidence.

Privacy

Ensure Gmail messages and attachments 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.

I have tried a variety of encryption type email services. This one is the best. I have had no problems and am soooo glad to found virtru!

very simple interface for a very secure experience

I just started using this extension, but really like how it works.

Daniel Kaplan2015年2月1日

Should read "free to install" as all your encryption goes away after 14 days

Andrew Sowden2014年9月10日

Does just what it says on the tin ... great :)

Enable protection to encrypt message and attachments 4. Set access controls (expiration, forwarding restrictions, watermarking) 5. Send encrypted email - recipients receive secure link 6.

Target users: Enterprise organizations requiring email compliance / Healthcare professionals needing HIPAA-compliant email / Government and defense contractors (CJIS, ITAR, CMMC) / Financial services handling sensitive data / Educational institutions (FERPA compliance) / Any Gmail user concerned about email privacy

No explicit pricing or subscription tier code found in extension source
Cannot confirm if extension has a free tier vs entirely enterprise-paid model
Feature gating logic (canCreatePolicies) unclear - may be admin-controlled rather than subscription-based

Source: None / Medium
Login required: Yes
Reason: The extension requires activation with a Virtru account. The popup checks profile.auth.status ('active', 'new') and displays activation buttons for unauthenticated users. Background.js implements email-based login (accountService.sendLoginEmail), federated authentication, and SAML authentication flows. The extension communicates with accounts.virtru.com, acm.virtru.com, and secure.virtru.com for authentication. Users cannot use encryption features without activating their Virtru account.
