Frequently Asked Questions

Pricing is based on the scope, risk, and number of digital properties in your engagement. We assess the volume of websites, applications, and documents requiring validation, then provide a fixed-fee quote before work begins. There are no hourly rates and no surprise charges.

Every engagement includes a comprehensive manual audit using DHS Trusted Tester methodology, an Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR), a detailed issue log with remediation guidance, and at least one re-test after your team addresses findings.

A single-property engagement typically takes 2–3 weeks from kickoff to final report delivery. Multi-property and organization-wide engagements are scoped during our initial consultation to align with your compliance deadlines.

Representative sampling is a testing methodology aligned with federal standards. Rather than testing every page, we identify a statistically representative set of pages and components that reflects the full scope of your digital property. This approach is consistent with how federal agencies evaluate compliance.

If issues remain after re-testing, we provide an updated issue log with clear guidance on what still needs remediation. Additional re-testing can be scoped as part of your engagement.

Independence eliminates conflict of interest. When the same firm that builds your product also certifies its compliance, the results lack credibility. Our independent validation is designed to stand on its own with primes, agencies, and contracting officers.

Yes. Section 508 standards apply to any organization receiving federal funding, and DOJ enforcement actions increasingly target state, local, and educational institutions. We scope engagements specifically for public-sector digital properties.
