6 Core Pillars of UIDAI AUA / KUA Security Auditing
Our certified auditors review your Aadhaar client software, biometric capture devices, encryption keys, and network architectures to guarantee zero non-compliances.
Aadhaar Data Vault (ADV) Audit
Verifying that raw 12-digit Aadhaar numbers are never stored in business databases, and checking that encrypted ADV vaults use reference key mapping.
- Strict reference key substitution verification
- Isolated vault network subnet audit
- Aadhaar number masking (first 8 digits hidden)
HSM Cryptography & Key Lifecycle
Auditing FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified Hardware Security Modules (HSM), key generation, PID block encryption, and multi-custodian key ceremonies.
- FIPS 140-2 Level 3 HSM appliance review
- RSA 2048-bit & AES-256 GCM key encryption
- Key generation & dual-custody access controls
Biometric RD Service Verification
Auditing Registered Device (RD) Service drivers (L0/L1) to ensure biometric data (fingerprint, iris, face) is encrypted at sensor level and never stored.
- L0 & L1 Registered Device driver validation
- Zero-storage biometric sensor compliance
- Anti-replay timestamp & nonce verification
MPLS & Leased Line Isolation
Verifying dedicated leased lines / MPLS circuits to ASA servers, dual-homed firewall isolation, and zero public internet exposure of authentication nodes.
- Secure point-to-point leased line verification
- Segmentation between AUA server & corporate LAN
- Mutual TLS (mTLS) certificate pinning
Aadhaar Logging & Access Controls
Auditing strict 2-year transactional log retention policies, ensuring logs contain transaction IDs and response codes without storing raw biometric or PID data.
- 2-Year tamper-proof transaction log retention
- Elimination of raw PID/biometrics from debug logs
- Role-Based Access Control & MFA for operators
Comprehensive Annual Compliance Report
Complete UIDAI Comprehensive Annual Audit Report (ACR), Operations Checklist attestation, and CERT-In Safe-to-Host Security Certificate for UIDAI submission.
- Official UIDAI ACR Compliance Documentation
- Operations Checklist sign-off
- CERT-In Safe-to-Host Security Attestation
5-Stage UIDAI AUA / KUA Audit Roadmap
Our certified auditors execute a non-disruptive, rigorous assessment ensuring 100% compliance with UIDAI regulations.
Topology & Data Flow Mapping
Mapping Aadhaar authentication API endpoints, Registered Device models, ASA leased lines, and database schemas.
Technical Penetration Testing
Performing ethical hacking on AUA client applications, e-KYC web portals, and network infrastructure to uncover technical vulnerabilities.
Cryptographic & Vault Verification
Auditing ADV database isolation, reference key lookups, HSM key lifecycles, and ensuring raw Aadhaar numbers are never present in application databases.
Process, BCP & Log Retention Audit
Evaluating operator background verifications, customer consent capture workflows, log retention controls, and validating remediation closures.
Comprehensive Annual Report Attestation
Delivering the signed Comprehensive Annual Audit Report (ACR), certified Operations Checklist, and Safe-to-Host Certificate for submission to UIDAI.
