Empower secure health data exchange under EHDS
Ensure every email meets the strict privacy, interoperability, and trust requirements of the European Health Data Space — without slowing down your communication.
The European Health Data Space (EHDS) is transforming how health information is shared, stored, and protected across Europe.

SecuMailer gives you a future-proof email solution that integrates seamlessly into your existing workflows, ensuring every message is compliant, encrypted, and ready for the EHDS era.
What is EHDS?
At the heart of the European Health Data Space (EHDS) are three interconnected pillars designed to create a secure, transparent, and interoperable health data ecosystem across Europe. These pillars define how health data is accessed, shared, and protected, ensuring that citizens remain in control of their information while enabling healthcare providers, researchers, and policymakers to leverage trusted data for better care, innovation, and policy decisions.
Three core pillars of EHDS
Minimize the risk of data breaches
Verify recipients before delivering sensitive data
Provide a legally demonstrable proof of secure delivery
Who needs to comply?
NTA 7516 applies to organizations in the public domain and healthcare sector that handle sensitive or medical data via email. Examples include:
- Healthcare providers — hospitals, clinics, GGZ institutions
- Municipalities & public services
- Youth care institutions
- Judiciary & legal bodies
- Safe Home & probation services
- Government agencies & ministries
The challenges of EHDS compliance
Many organizations struggle to meet NTA 7516 because traditional solutions are outdated or user-unfriendly:
Complex workflows: Messaging portals and pick-up links create friction for recipients.
Low adoption: Citizens and patients resist cumbersome processes.
Repeated authentication requests: Leads to frustration and support calls.
Interoperability gaps: Secure email providers often don’t talk to each other.
