Secure Vault Solution

C-DAC Mumbai offers the Secure Vault software solution for the secure storage and management of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) data, including Aadhaar,in compliance with UIDAI guidelines.

Organizations that prefer to host the Secure Vaultsolution on their own infrastructure can procure it as a software solution. In such cases, the setup and infrastructure are managed entirely by the organization at its premises, while C-DAC Mumbai handles solution deployment and provides Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) support limited to bug fixes, if any. Day-to-day operations and system administration are managed by the organization itself.

The Secure Vault software solution helps government departments, PSUs, and private organizations safeguard sensitive identity information such as Aadhaar, PAN, Voter ID, Passport, and Driving License numbers. It offers centralized encrypted storage, role-based access control, and comprehensive audit capabilities, ensuring compliance with UIDAI guidelines and alignment with the upcoming Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA).
