ExpressVPN vs Virtru

ExpressVPN is a premium consumer VPN known for fast speeds, a large global server network, and a very easy setup, with an audited no-logs policy. It is a mainstream, polished choice.

Virtru provides data-centric encryption and persistent access control for sensitive information shared through email, files, and SaaS applications. Rather than just encrypting a connection or a drive, Virtru lets organizations retain control over data after it has been shared externally, including the ability to revoke access at any time. Built on the open Trusted Data Format (TDF) and the OpenTDF project, Virtru integrates directly with Gmail, Outlook, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and file-sharing platforms like OneDrive, SharePoint, and Google Drive. It is used by organizations needing to meet compliance requirements such as HIPAA, GDPR, CMMC, ITAR, CJIS, and the FTC Safeguards Rule.
