PAUBOX VS VIRTRU
Virtru turns email into a chore
When you need HIPAA compliant email without friction, the difference between Paubox and Virtru comes down to how much work (and risk) you push onto IT, staff, and patients.

Encryption shouldn't feel like a scavenger hunt
Painful user experience
Virtru often forces the end user to jump through hoops: special links, secure readers, extra log-ins. Every extra click is a chance for confusion or a dropped message.
Complex encryption
Virtru requires users to opt in to encryption or install plug-ins. That means training and the risk of human error.
HIPAA as an afterthought
Virtru doesn’t put HIPAA compliance first. Without HITRUST certification or a healthcare focus, it leaves your team exposed.
