Accessibility Audit

A structured evaluation of a digital product, website, or application against established accessibility standards, typically WCAG, to identify barriers that prevent people with disabilities from using it effectively. An accessibility audit usually combines automated scanning with manual expert testing and may include testing with assistive technologies such as screen readers and keyboard-only navigation. The audit produces a detailed report of findings categorized by severity and WCAG success criteria, along with remediation recommendations. Regular audits are increasingly required by legislation such as the EU Web Accessibility Directive, Section 508 in the US, and the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act.
