## The Easiest Way to Share Student Data Securely

Virtru helps educational institutions modernize security and keep up with data privacy laws and regulations by ensuring student PII is protected, inside and outside your organization.

### Seamless Integration with Everyday Apps

 Virtru integrates seamlessly with [Gmail](https://www.virtru.com/data-security-platform/email-encryption/gmail?hsLang=en), [Google Drive](https://www.virtru.com/data-security-platform/file-encryption/google-drive?hsLang=en), [Microsoft Outlook](https://www.virtru.com/data-security-platform/microsoft-365?hsLang=en) and mobile devices, Virtru fits within your current infrastructure so that within minutes you can ensure FERPA and [HIPAA compliant email](https://www.virtru.com/compliance/hipaa-email?hsLang=en) and file workflows. ![Virtru for Google UI](https://www.virtru.com/hubfs/assets/images/product%20ui/widgets/widget-google.webp)

### Easy to Use

 Virtru provides end-to-end [email](https://www.virtru.com/data-security-platform/email-encryption?hsLang=en) and [file encryption](https://www.virtru.com/resource/virtru-secure-share-for-education?hsLang=en) with one click, so your teams don't have to change their existing workflows. ![Photo of a woman sending an encrypted email on her cellphone](https://www.virtru.com/hubfs/assets/images/product%20page/product-page-img6.webp)

### Control Emails and Files Shared Externally

 Revoke or expire access to email and files, disable forwarding even after data is opened or shared, and automatically watermark confidential attachments. Implement security rules to automatically apply controls to any email containing sensitive data. ![Product-Page-Images_Google Drive](https://www.virtru.com/hubfs/Product-Page-Images_Google%20Drive.webp)

### Audit and Monitor Data Sharing

 Granular audit trails let you see where sensitive data is shared and revoke access at any time. Virtru provides full visibility into who has accessed or forwarded emails for seamless FERPA, and HIPAA, audits, and SIEM integrations improve threat remediation workflows. ![Image of the Virtru Control Center](https://www.virtru.com/hubfs/assets/images/product%20page/product-page-img4.webp)

### Easily Collect and Share Student Records

 With [Virtru Secure Share](https://www.virtru.com/data-security-platform/virtru-secure-share?hsLang=en), schools can give parents and guardians a secure way to submit things like medical records, IEPs, or transcripts for their students. Staff and faculty can also use Secure Share to send encrypted files to external parties. ![Virtru Secure Share UI](https://www.virtru.com/hubfs/assets/images/product%20ui/widgets/widget-secureshare.webp)

## What is FERPA?

FERPA, an acronym for The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, is a federal law that grants rights to parents to have access to their children’s educational records. FERPA also awards parents control over the disclosure of PII (personally identifiable information) as well as the right to request amendment to some records.

## Authorized by FedRAMP and GovRAMP for Trusted Data Security

Virtru makes it easy for any organization to protect and share sensitive data — from small municipalities to the federal government, across the defense industrial base, and beyond.
