to determine the whereabouts of missing loved ones displaced from their homes , whether as a result of armed conflicts , natural disasters , economic crisis , or other emergencies .

To help locate missing people , sensitive data often needs to be shared with the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies , as well as other Red Cross entities around the world . “ It ’ s actually about 193 sister organisations , because there is no common management or governance between entities ,” said Yves Couturier , CIO Executive France of Croix Rouge . “ We are all independent .”

Because these Red Cross partners work so closely together , yet are all independent organisations , it ’ s vital that they have a way to securely share information with each other in a way that ensures that data is only accessed by the intended recipient . Virtru ’ s encryption for Google Workspace allows the Croix Rouge to share data with the confidence that it remains fully under their control at all times .

Maintaining data sovereignty and Zero Trust security in Google Workspace

Croix Rouge uses Google Workspace , but because the organisation is based in France , it needs an additional layer of security to ensure complete data sovereignty and residency . With Virtru ’ s encryption , Google cannot access Croix Rouge data . This applies throughout the data ’ s full life cycle – from the moment it ’ s created through storage , collaboration and sharing .
