Audit — Regulatory Certification

UIDAI
Certification

Achieve UIDAI security certification for your Authentication User Agency (AUA) or e-KYC User Agency (KUA) — meeting UIDAI's mandatory security requirements for Aadhaar ecosystem participants.

Organizations operating as AUAs or KUAs within India's Aadhaar authentication ecosystem must undergo UIDAI's mandatory security audit and certification. We help you prepare for, pass, and maintain your UIDAI certification with minimal disruption to operations.

What is UIDAI Certification?

The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) mandates that all Authentication User Agencies (AUAs), e-KYC User Agencies (KUAs), and their Sub-AUAs undergo periodic security audits conducted by CERT-In empanelled auditors. This certification validates that your Aadhaar-connected systems meet UIDAI's information security standards.

The audit covers your Aadhaar authentication infrastructure — API security, data handling, encryption, access controls, network security, and the mandatory requirement to not store Aadhaar numbers or biometric data beyond the transaction. Non-compliance can result in suspension of your AUA/KUA license.

Assessment Areas

Aadhaar data handling & non-storage compliance
API security & authentication mechanisms
Network security & segmentation
Encryption (in transit & at rest)
Access control & identity management
Incident response & logging
Physical security of Aadhaar-connected systems

Our Services

Gap Assessment

Evaluate your Aadhaar-connected infrastructure against UIDAI's security requirements. Identify gaps in data handling, API security, encryption, and access controls before the formal audit.

Formal UIDAI Audit

Our CERT-In empanelled auditors conduct the mandatory security audit covering all UIDAI-prescribed security controls and produce the audit report required for certification.

Remediation Support

We work with your teams to close identified gaps — from Aadhaar data handling procedures and API hardening through network segmentation and encryption implementation.

Policy Development

Develop the Aadhaar-specific policies and procedures UIDAI requires — data handling, biometric data destruction, incident reporting, and operator training documentation.

Technical Hardening

Implement technical controls including API gateway security, certificate pinning, encryption standards, Aadhaar vault architecture, and tokenization for Aadhaar number replacement.

Annual Re-certification

Ongoing support for annual UIDAI re-audits, change-impact analysis, and monitoring of UIDAI circular updates affecting AUA/KUA security requirements.

Why It Matters

Maintain AUA/KUA License

UIDAI certification is mandatory. Non-compliance risks suspension of your Aadhaar authentication privileges — directly impacting your ability to serve customers.

Protect Aadhaar Data

India's Aadhaar ecosystem handles the world's largest biometric database. Robust security controls protect this sensitive data from unauthorized access and misuse.

Regulatory Compliance

Meet UIDAI circulars, DPDP Act requirements, and RBI/SEBI/IRDAI guidelines that mandate Aadhaar security compliance for regulated entities.

Customer Trust

Demonstrable Aadhaar security compliance builds trust with customers who share their biometric and demographic data through your platform.

Operational Continuity

Avoid service disruptions from UIDAI enforcement actions by maintaining continuous compliance with all prescribed security standards.

DPDP Alignment

UIDAI's security requirements align closely with India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act — creating a strong foundation for broader privacy compliance.
