What is UIDAI – AUA KUA Compliance Security Audit?

The UIDAI – AUA KUA Compliance Security Audit is a mandatory assessment conducted to verify that AUAs and KUAs adhere to UIDAI’s strict security, privacy, and operational guidelines. These entities perform Aadhaar authentication or e-KYC operations and must follow UIDAI’s standards to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of Aadhaar data. The audit examines whether agencies securely store, process, transmit, and manage Aadhaar information using approved encryption methods, robust access controls, and UIDAI-specified infrastructure. By validating compliance, the audit protects Aadhaar holders’ data privacy, prevents unauthorized access, and reduces security risks across the authentication ecosystem. AUAs are entities that perform authentication requests using Aadhaar data, while KUAs are entities that perform e-KYC (Know Your Customer) services. The compliance audit evaluates whether these entities adhere to the security and privacy guidelines outlined by UIDAI, covering aspects such as data encryption, access controls, and protection against unauthorized access.
