Amazon Cognito Achieves HIPAA Eligibility and PCI Compliance, Adds a Simple Way to Sign in Users by Email Address or Phone Number, and Localizes the Management Console

We are pleased to announce that Amazon Cognito is now HIPAA eligible, has been added to the AWS Business Associate Agreement (BAA), and is PCI compliant. With HIPAA eligibility, Protected Health Information (PHI) can now be used with Amazon Cognito. Our PCI compliance means that merchants and other service providers now have access to an identity platform that has been verified to conform to PCI standards.
