What is UIDAI- AUA/KUA Security Audit?
Enrolling with UIDAI enables organizations to offer E-KYC and Aadhaar-based authentication services. For organizations seeking to become an empaneled KYC User Agency (KUA) or integrate Aadhaar Authentication Services (AUA), a thorough security assessment and compliance certification from a CERT-In Empaneled Security Auditor is required. This ensures alignment with UIDAI’s standards and specifications.
The most recent UIDAI Information Security Policy for AUAs and KUAs details a comprehensive technical and operational audit process. The audit covers key areas, including but not limited to:
Security of authentication devices and applications
- Network security
- System security
- Key management
- Data vault requirements
- Security framework policies for compliance
These updates include requirements related to consent, transparency, and purpose limitation. According to UIDAI guidelines, organizations using Aadhaar-based authentication must undergo periodic audits by Information Systems Auditors certified by CERT-IN. The compliance audit report should be submitted to UIDAI or made available upon request. This audit is mandatory for organizations incorporating Aadhaar-based authentication in their processes.
