The Problem
ADA Title II compliance is mandatory for state and local governments by April 26, 2027 (April 26, 2028 for smaller entities). Section 508, a separate and long-standing requirement, applies to every federal deliverable today. Non-compliance means rejected work, DOJ enforcement risk, and lost bids, and self-reported audits do not hold up under scrutiny.
The Solution
We provide independent, third-party validation of your digital deliverables against WCAG 2.1 AA using DHS Trusted Tester methodology. Our reports stand on their own with agencies, primes, contracting officers, and DOJ reviewers.

Cities, counties, universities, and special-purpose districts subject to ADA Title II must meet WCAG 2.1 AA by April 26, 2027 (April 26, 2028 for smaller entities). We provide the independent audit and remediation roadmap that DOJ enforcement assumes you have.
