- Accessibility standards
- WCAG 2.2 AA
- Accessibility testing
- We conduct periodic accessibility testing with users of assistive technologies and internal accessibility specialists. Tests cover keyboard‑only navigation (no mouse), focus order, and visible focus indicators. Screen reader compatibility is validated with JAWS, NVDA (Windows), VoiceOver (macOS/iOS), and TalkBack (Android), ensuring accurate announcements of labels, headings, button states, table relationships, and error messages via appropriate ARIA roles/attributes. We verify color contrast and text resizing at 200% without loss of functionality, and confirm that dialogs/modals are announced and trap focus correctly. Forms are checked for programmatic labels, instructions, inline validation, and error recovery. Interactive charts/tables include summaries or alternative views. PDF help content is produced as tagged PDFs with reading order, alt text, and bookmarks. We run usability sessions with a small cohort of assistive‑tech users to gather qualitative feedback on navigation, terminology, and task completion, then remediate findings in sprint cycles and re‑test before release. Accessibility issues are tracked in our defect management system with severity and SLA targets.

Disaster recovery plans include automated failover and regular backup validation. Network paths are load-balanced and monitored for performance and security. All components undergo resilience testing aligned with NCSC’s Cloud Security Principle 2: Asset Protection and Resilience. Detailed data center configurations and resilience measures are available upon request.

Support channels require authenticated sessions and verification of customer identity before any changes are made. Sensitive operations are further protected by multi-factor authentication (MFA) and encrypted communication channels (TLS). Administrative accounts are reviewed regularly, and inactive accounts are disabled promptly to prevent unauthorized use.
