WCAG conformance audits
Criterion-by-criterion assessment against WCAG 2.2 AA — automated scans for what machines can detect, expert manual review for the majority of criteria they can't.
Quality Engineering
Accessible is testable — and most sites fail
Accessibility isn't a plugin badge; it's whether a screen-reader user can complete your checkout, whether keyboard navigation works, whether contrast holds up. We test it the way conformance is actually judged: WCAG criteria, assistive technology, and real task flows.
Independent quality engineering & cybersecurity since 2020 — 100+ security & quality engineers, delivering on platforms we build and run ourselves.
Inaccessible products exclude users, fail procurement requirements that increasingly mandate WCAG conformance, and carry legal exposure in markets with accessibility law (ADA, EN 301 549, EAA). Retrofit is always costlier than building it in.
What we do
Assistive-technology testing
Task completion with screen readers (NVDA, VoiceOver), keyboard-only navigation, magnification, and voice control — on real user flows, not component demos.
Usability validation
Task-based usability sessions: where users hesitate, backtrack, or abandon — with findings your designers can act on.
Remediation partnership
Prioritized fixes with code-level guidance, then retest and a conformance statement you can share.
How it’s delivered
01
Scope
Select flows and pages by user impact and conformance target.
02
Audit
Automated plus expert manual review; every finding evidenced.
03
Prioritize
Findings ranked by user impact and fix cost, mapped to WCAG criteria.
04
Retest
Verify fixes and issue an updated conformance summary.

Engagement
Ways to engage the same senior bench
Buy it as a scoped project, embed it in your team, or run it as a managed service — same engineers, same governance, whichever shape fits.
Scoped project
A defined piece of work with a fixed outcome — a test suite built, a release hardened, a backlog cleared — delivered by our team and handed over with documentation.
Embedded QE
Our engineers work inside your sprint teams, on your tools and cadence, owning quality alongside your developers rather than testing from the outside.
Managed QE service
We own the discipline as an ongoing service — coverage, execution, and reporting — scaling the bench up or down as your release pressure moves.
Who this is for
- Products selling into government, education, or enterprise procurement with conformance requirements
- Teams that ran a scanner, fixed the top ten, and know that isn't conformance
- Design-led companies that want usability evidence, not opinions
Common questions
Is an automated scan enough for conformance?
No — automated tools catch a minority of WCAG criteria. We combine them with expert manual review and assistive-technology testing (screen readers, keyboard-only) on real task flows, which is how conformance is actually judged.
Which standard do you test against?
WCAG 2.2 at the AA level by default — the bar most procurement, ADA, and EN 301 549 expectations map to. If your obligation is different, we scope to it and report against the specific success criteria.
Who actually does the work?
Senior engineers from our own bench — 63% hold industry certifications (CISSP, CEH, eCPPT, ISTQB, AWS). The people who scope your engagement are the people who run it; there is no rotating offshore bench behind the proposal.
One practice, not one vendor
This is one stage of a single assurance loop: findings become regression tests, and their indicators become live detections — so a problem, once fixed, can’t quietly come back. That’s what you get from one integrated partner that a stack of separate vendors can’t. See how the loop connects →
