Effective Date: January 1, 2026. Last Audited: March 25, 2026.

Digital Compliance Auditors is committed to ensuring full digital inclusion and accessible experiences for all users, including people with motor, visual, auditory, and cognitive disabilities.

1. Our Commitment and Philosophy

As an independent accessibility auditing authority and developer training organization, we lead by example. We believe web accessibility is an essential civil right and a foundational engineering standard, not an afterthought.

Our primary objective is to maintain full technical and functional conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA standards, ensuring our platform complies with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, and the European Accessibility Act (EAA 2025 / EN 301 549).

2. Conformance Status and Measures Taken

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define technical requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for persons with disabilities. It details three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.

Current Status: Fully Conforming with WCAG 2.2 Level AA

To uphold this standard, our development and QA teams execute the following routine measures:

Native Semantic HTML Architecture: Constructing all layouts with valid semantic elements (header, nav, main, section, footer) rather than unsemantic generic containers.
Rigorous Keyboard Navigation: Ensuring every button, interactive scanner module, form control, and modal window is fully navigable and operable using the Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter, Space, and Esc keys with a visible focus indicator conforming to WCAG 2.2 SC 2.4.11 (Focus Appearance).
Assistive Technology Verification: Conducting manual cross-testing with leading screen readers including NVDA on Windows, JAWS on Windows, and VoiceOver on macOS and iOS.
Target Size Compliance: Ensuring all interactive touch targets meet or exceed the WCAG 2.2 SC 2.5.8 minimum dimension of 24 by 24 CSS pixels.
Enhanced Color Contrast: Maintaining contrast ratios exceeding 4.5:1 for normal body text and 3:1 for large display headlines and user interface components.
Accessible Forms: Explicitly associating all input labels, error states, and ARIA live regions in our Free Accessibility Checker and consultation inquiry forms.

3. Why We Reject Third-Party Overlay Widgets

You will not find an automated accessibility widget or AI overlay toolbar injected on digitalcomplianceauditors.com.

In alignment with the National Federation of the Blind, leading disability rights organizations, and recent federal enforcement actions, our audits prove that automated overlays frequently disrupt personalized screen reader settings, introduce secondary keyboard traps, and fail to satisfy WCAG requirements. We believe in building accessibility directly into clean source code.

4. Assistive Technologies and Environment Compatibility

Our website is designed for maximum compatibility with the following operating systems and assistive tool suites:

Screen Readers

NVDA (Latest version), JAWS (Latest version), Apple VoiceOver, and Android TalkBack.

5. Continuous Audit Schedule and Remediation Timeline

Digital accessibility is an ongoing practice.

Any newly discovered barrier is categorized and scheduled for source code remediation within 72 hours.
