Government & Public Sector Accessibility

Public-sector accessibility isn’t a best practice — it’s statute, with audits and deadlines attached. Our DHS Trusted Tester certification means we test US government work with the exact methodology federal reviewers use; in India, we work to GIGW 3.0 and IS 17802.

Where Government Sites Break

Legacy CMS platforms and portals. Document-heavy sites — forms, circulars, reports — published as scanned or untagged PDFs. Citizen-service flows that must work for everyone by law. Multilingual content. Procurement that requires certified testers, not generalists.

Compliance Requirements

Section 508 for US federal agencies and their vendors. ADA Title II’s WCAG 2.1 AA rule for state and local government. GIGW 3.0, IS 17802 and the RPwD Act for Indian government bodies. EN 301 549 across the EU public sector.

What We Do for Government

Audits run on Trusted Tester methodology, so results align with how federal reviewers evaluate. Bulk document remediation. ACRs and conformance documentation for procurement. Staff training. Remediation of citizen-facing flows.

Request a conformance assessment — we work directly and as a subcontractor under prime vendors.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a DHS Trusted Tester and why does it matter?

A tester certified in the US Department of Homeland Security’s Section 508 conformance methodology – the same process federal reviewers use, so our results hold up in their review.

Do you work under GIGW for Indian government websites?

Yes – we audit against GIGW 3.0 and IS 17802, which the RPwD Act makes mandatory for government digital services in India.

How do you handle thousands of legacy PDFs?

Triage by usage and importance, then a remediation pipeline with per-batch turnaround – the approach we use on all high-volume document programs.

Can you subcontract under a prime vendor?

Yes – we regularly deliver accessibility workstreams inside larger contracts, with documentation in whatever format the prime requires.
