Virtru is a global data security platform provider that makes it easy to share sensitive information without sacrificing security, privacy, or control. Founded in 2012 by brothers John and Will Ackerly, Virtru built its platform on the Trusted Data Format (TDF) open standard, which binds granular policy and access controls directly to data. This data-centric approach enables organizations to maintain control over their information everywhere it travels - through email, files, and SaaS applications - while supporting the world’s strictest compliance regulations including CMMC, ITAR, CJIS, HIPAA, and GDPR.
Virtru integrates seamlessly with everyday workflow tools like Gmail, Outlook, Google Drive, Microsoft Teams, and Salesforce, providing military-grade AES-256 encryption that is accessible to users of all technical levels. With over 6,100 customers worldwide - including Fortune 500 enterprises, government agencies, and healthcare organizations - Virtru protects millions of emails and files each week. The company is headquartered in Washington, D.C., and has been recognized for its innovation in Zero Trust data sharing, achieving FedRAMP authorization and earning multiple awards for its encryption solutions. Backed by investors including ICONIQ Capital and Bessemer Venture Partners, Virtru continues to expand its platform to meet the evolving needs of organizations requiring secure, compliant data collaboration.
