How to fix Virtru not working
Virtru protects sensitive data such as email, attachments and shared files, using encryption and access control. Organisations use its add-ins for Gmail and Outlook, its file protection, and its admin console to decide who can open what. Find your symptom below. Most problems come from a sign-in, an add-in that needs updating, a recipient who has not been given access, or the service itself. For a message you cannot open, check with the sender first.

- Email Encryption Failed
- Website Down
- Login Failed
- Outlook Plugin Issue
- Gmail Extension Issue
- File Decryption Error
- Admin Console Down
Email Encryption Failed
A message or attachment does not encrypt, or it is sent without protection.
- Check the add-in is turned on and signed in for your account.
- Check the recipient address is correct, and that the message is sent through the add-in.
- Send a test message to yourself first, and check its protection before sending to others.
- If it still does not encrypt, contact your administrator with the time and your account name.
Website Down
The Virtru website does not load for you.
- Open the page in a private window and on another network.
- Check the Virtru status page for an active incident.
- If only your network is affected, ask IT to check the firewall.
Login Failed
Sign-in is refused.
- If the message says the password is wrong, reset it through the official site and check spam.
- Check you are using the account your organisation set up, not a personal one.
- Try a private window to rule out an old session.
Outlook Plugin Issue
The Virtru add-in in Outlook is missing, does not load, or shows an error.
- Restart Outlook, then check the add-in is turned on in your add-in list.
- Update the add-in to the latest version your organisation allows.
- If it still fails, remove it and install it again, or ask IT to redeploy it.
Gmail Extension Issue
The Virtru extension in Gmail does not appear or does not work.
- Check the extension is turned on in the browser you installed it in.
- Reload Gmail in a private window with other extensions turned off, to find a conflict.
- Update the extension, then sign in again.
File Decryption Error
A protected file will not open for you.
- Check you are signed in with the email address the file was shared with.
- Ask the sender to check you still have access, since access can be removed.
- Download the file again, in case the first copy was incomplete.
Admin Console Down
The Virtru admin console does not load, so administrators cannot change settings.
- Open it in a private window and on another network.
- Check the Virtru status page for an incident.
- If the console stays down, contact Virtru support through your account route, with the time.
Still not working?
If it still does not work, contact your Virtru administrator first, since they manage access and add-ins for your organisation. For a service-wide problem, contact Virtru support through the help option on the Virtru website. Have your organisation name, the add-in or product, the message or file name (not its contents), the exact error text, and the time it started with your time zone. Never send your password or decryption keys in a support message. Live incident updates are on status-page.virtru.com.
Most protection problems come from a sign-in, an add-in that needs updating, or access that has changed, and they usually clear once that one item is checked. The status page shows live incidents, so you can see whether the problem is on Virtru's side.
