Does your organization collect or store Aadhaar numbers?

Then you are at high risk.

With identity thefts, data breaches, and cyber fraudsters on the rise, businesses are vulnerable to financial and reputational damage. While conducting digital KYCs that involve Aadhaar card verification, the risk of data exposure and misuse of customer/employee information by fraudulent entities is even greater. These privacy concerns and security breaches cost businesses billions in losses.

Thus, it is imperative for organizations to follow strict security protocols for Aadhaar card verification. Complying with the Aadhaar masking mandates of regulators such as UIDAI, RBI, SEBI, and IRDAI, is vital to protect Aadhaar data.

What is Aadhaar masking?

Aadhaar masking is a critical security directive issued by the UIDAI and regulatory bodies to protect Aadhaar data and prevent identity fraud and data scams. According to this mandate, the first 8 digits of your Aadhaar card number must be replaced by asterisks and appear as “XXXX-XXXX”, while the last 4 digits shall remain as it is. Aadhaar card masking serves as an extra layer of protection to conceal and protect sensitive information.
