Accessibility testing and remediation guidance for WCAG and Section 508 compliance.

Accessibility Testing That Strengthens Compliance and Usability

Our 508 Trusted Tester team is comprised of seasoned software application developers who specialize in 508 Compliance and are DHS 508 Trusted Tester Certified. We use DHS-approved tools such as the Color Contrast Analyzer (CCA), Accessible Name & Description Inspector (ANDI), and other manual inspection techniques to perform in-depth evaluations of websites, web applications, and digital content. Our goal is not just to help you pass an audit, we aim to enhance usability for all users while ensuring long-term accessibility compliance.

Not only do we have the expertise to identify compliance issues across your Electronic and Information Technology (EIT) websites and web applications, but we also provide clear recommendations and guidance to resolve them quickly. Backed by decades of application development experience, a deep understanding of Section 508 accessibility standards & WCAG guidelines, and UX-focused human-centered design, our certified testers deliver practical, working solutions that help your business or organization achieve, and maintain, 508 compliance efficiently and effectively.

AI can help identify obvious problems, but it is not a complete accessibility strategy. In real workflows, AI is most useful when it supports specific tasks and feeds results into the next step, rather than trying to detect every issue in a single pass. Effective remediation still requires people who understand code, Section 508, and WCAG, and who can recommend fixes that are technically sound and realistic for the team to implement. AI can support the process, but it cannot replace the expertise required to deliver a thorough, accurate, and actionable accessibility assessment and remediation plan.

A VPAT is a document used to evaluate how accessible a product, such as software, hardware, or a web application, is according to accessibility standards, particularly the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, and the European Union’s EN 301 549 standard.

A completed VPAT results in an Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR), which summarizes how the product complies with the applicable standards and provides details on any areas that might need improvement. VPATs & ACRs helps organizations understand how well a product meets accessibility criteria, allowing them to determine whether it is compliant with legal accessibility requirements. Vendors or developers complete the VPAT to provide buyers or government agencies with transparency about the accessibility features and any potential barriers in their product.
