Aadhaar data carries a heavier duty of care
Handling Aadhaar as an Authentication User Agency or KYC User Agency puts you under UIDAI's specific information security obligations. Aadhaar numbers must sit in an encrypted Data Vault behind reference keys; biometric data must be protected in capture, transit, and storage; and access must be tightly controlled and logged. UIDAI expects a periodic information security audit to prove it. We conduct that audit and close the gaps it surfaces.
This applies to any entity operating as an AUA, KUA, or sub-AUA in the Aadhaar ecosystem.
How we work
- Scope. We map every point where Aadhaar numbers and biometrics are captured, transmitted, stored, or referenced.
- Data Vault. We review your Aadhaar Data Vault, reference-key mapping, and encryption against UIDAI requirements.
- Controls. Biometric handling, access control, logging, and exception management are tested against the regulations.
- Report. Findings are documented in a UIDAI-aligned audit report with a clear remediation path.
Inside the Indian privacy regime
Aadhaar handling now intersects with the DPDP Act 2023. We align both, so your identity-data controls satisfy UIDAI and India's data-protection law together.
