eHealth Secures HITRUST i1 Certification Again, Strengthening Cybersecurity Standards
Austin, Wednesday, 23 July 2025.
On July 22, 2025, eHealth announced its HITRUST i1 certification renewal for a carrier integration platform, highlighting ongoing cybersecurity commitment through Amazon Web Services, boosting client trust amidst digital threats.
Enhancing Security Through Cloud Technology
eHealth’s choice of Amazon Web Services (AWS) is pivotal to its cybersecurity agenda. By leveraging AWS, eHealth has been able to reinforce its platform’s security infrastructure, which is critical given the healthcare sector’s vulnerability to cyberattacks. The healthcare industry is a prime target for cybercriminals due to the sensitivity and potential value of health data. In 2024, healthcare data breaches cost organizations nearly USD 10 million on average, a stark reminder of the importance of robust security measures [1].
The Role of HITRUST i1 Certification
The HITRUST i1 certification plays an essential role in eHealth’s strategy to assure partners and clients of their data security posture. This certification involves a comprehensive risk assessment process and the integration of advanced security protocols to fend off cyber threats effectively [1][2]. As of July 18, 2025, eHealth achieved this certification, marking it the second consecutive year of success. This reinstates eHealth’s position as a leader in maintaining high security standards in data protection [1].
Impact on Stakeholders and Clients
Maintaining HITRUST certification not only enhances eHealth’s credibility but also fosters greater trust among stakeholders. For users, the assurance that a company adheres to stringent security measures is invaluable, especially in a climate where digital interactions are becoming increasingly common. According to eHealth representatives, this achievement is a testament to their ongoing effort to prioritize data security [2].
Future Implications and Ongoing Efforts
As the digital healthcare landscape continues to evolve, the implications of maintaining high security standards are significant. eHealth’s ongoing commitment to improving its security infrastructure not only supports existing clientele but also positions the platform for future expansions and innovations. The HITRUST certification is valid for two years, necessitating a continuous focus on cybersecurity improvements to meet future re-certification requirements in 2027 [3].
