What our analysis found

Virtru Email Protection, used by 700,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in September 2026.

Analyst notes

Extension is a well-known email encryption tool by Virtru (a legitimate company with a trust score and featured listing). All permissions are justified for Gmail integration and secure communication with Virtru's backend. Analytics (Amplitude) and error logging (Datadog) are standard and disclosed in the privacy policy (CWS: PII collection). No malicious behaviors, code injection, data exfiltration, or hidden tracking detected. The ML model's very low score (0.00) corroborates a false positive; the third-party risk score's high impact is due to broad permissions necessary for email encryption, not malice.

About this extension

Surprisingly easy email protection and control for Gmail.

Read the publisher’s full description

Easily protect Gmail messages and attachments, and maintain control wherever they’re shared. At Virtru, we understand that data is an organization’s most valuable asset and sharing it is critical for business success. But sharing data creates significant risk. We believe no one should have to choose between protecting data and sharing it. We help more than 6100+ organizations, large and small, across almost every industry, protect data wherever it’s created or shared so they can collaborate with confidence. Privacy Ensure Gmail messages and attachments stay private so you don’t have to trust Google with your data. Compliance Maintain compliance with data privacy regulations such as HIPAA, GDPR, CJIS, ITAR, CCPA, FERPA, CMMC, NIST, and more. Secure, Seamless Sharing Protect Gmail messages and attachments and maintain control wherever they’re shared - both internally and externally, beyond Google. End-to-End Encryption Data-centric protection and object-level encryption for email messages and attachments directly within the Gmail client with a simple Chrome extension. Granular Access Controls Set expiration, disable forwarding, and watermark attachments with recipients’ names to deter them from leaking sensitive files. Instant Revocation Revoke access to messages and attachments immediately when emails are sent in error, or after the data within has become more sensitive. Persistent File Protection Keep attachments protected and controlled anywhere files are shared and stored (i.e. Gmail, Google Drive, desktops, network drives, and more) to ensure compliance with data privacy regulations and privacy throughout the full collaboration lifecycle. Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Automatically enable encryption with DLP rules that detect and protect sensitive data or reinforce security awareness with alerts that warn users to encrypt email.
