AUA/KUA Audit

The AUA/KUA Framework: An Overview of the Aadhaar Ecosystem


AUA (Authentication User Agency)/KUA (e-KYC User Agency) and Sub-AUA/KUA Audit are two types of audits that are required for organizations that provide Aadhaar authentication and e-KYC (Know Your Customer) services in India.

Aadhaar is a 12-digit unique identity number issued by UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India) under the Government of India to its citizens. It is used for a variety of purposes, including authentication and e-KYC services. AUA and KUA are agencies that are authorized to provide these services using the Aadhaar infrastructure.

AUA Audit is conducted to ensure that the authentication requests made by an AUA are compliant with the UIDAI regulations and guidelines. KUA Audit is conducted to ensure that the e-KYC requests made by a KUA are compliant with the UIDAI regulations and guidelines.

The purpose of AUA and KUA Audit is to ensure that the Aadhaar authentication and e-KYC processes are secure, efficient, and compliant with relevant regulations and guidelines. These audits help to protect the privacy and security of individuals' personal information and prevent fraud and misuse of Aadhaar data.
