When to Use Virtru
It’s important to note that not every email or file needs to be encrypted. Virtru should be used when you want to control access or when the content contains sensitive information. For a comprehensive list of the types of information you should encrypt using Virtru, refer to UC Protection Levels for Institutional Information and review P3 and P4 protection levels.
While Virtru is ideal for encrypting a wide range of sensitive data, there are some instances where other solutions may be better suited. Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), Credit Card or Payment Card Industry (PCI) Information, Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) Data, and Student Loan Application Information (regulated by GLBA) are examples of data that should be handled differently. Additionally, emails processed by tools such as ServiceNow and Perceptive Content, including emails from [email protected] and Staff HR emails, fall outside the scope of Virtru encryption. For further information on encrypting collaborative files, such as Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides, please reach out to [email protected].
