Managed Compliance - Audit service

Accessibility audit, testing & validation

Know where you stand. Fix what matters. Validate with confidence. A structured, standards-based assessment of your websites, applications and documents - without committing to full code remediation. Your team fixes; we test, guide and validate.

Fixing with AI? AI-powered remediation is a great start - but it typically covers only about 80% of the accessibility work. To ensure full compliance, a manual audit by certified accessibility experts is required to find and validate what automation misses.

The entire process runs on the dedicated EqualWeb audit platform - your dev team shares issues, marks fixes, adds notes and comments, and manages the full audit in one clear, intuitive system, with export to Excel anytime.

How we scope

Three complexity levels. One clear price.

We audit a representative sample of your unique templates and key user flows - not every page. Your level is set by how interactive those templates are.

Level 1 - Essential

Content websites

Brochure, marketing and informational sites. Static templates, standard navigation, simple contact forms. Typically up to ~10 unique templates.

Project delivery in 30 business days

Level 2 - Dynamic

Interactive websites

E-commerce, multi-step forms, filters, carousels, media players, booking flows and members' areas. Typically 10-20 unique templates and key flows.

Project delivery in 45 business days

Level 3 - Platform

Web applications & portals

Dashboards, calculators, SaaS products, custom components and complex interactive states. Typically 20+ unique templates, screens and states.

Project delivery in 60 business days

What counts as a unique template? A distinct page layout or screen - e.g., homepage, product page, checkout step, article page, dashboard view. Hundreds of pages built on the same template count as one. During scoping, a certified specialist maps your templates with you and confirms the count before work begins.
Fixed packages

Audit pricing

Flat, predictable prices. Every package includes a fully manual audit by certified experts, validation rounds after your fixes, and a VPAT / ACR at the end of the process - at no extra charge.

All prices in USD, excluding VAT. One validation round = a full retest of every issue reported in the audit, after your team implements fixes. The VPAT / Accessibility Conformance Report is issued once the final validation round is complete - included in every package. Native mobile apps, PDF and document remediation are scoped separately.

The approach

Audit first. Remediate smarter.

Many accessibility projects start without a clear picture of the problem - and end in wasted development time, inconsistent fixes and unresolved gaps. EqualWeb's audit-first approach gives your team a practical roadmap instead: where the barriers are, what impact they have on users, which WCAG requirement each one maps to, and how to resolve them efficiently.

No guessing. Your team receives a structured, prioritized, documented path forward.

Testing standards: W3C WCAG 2.2 · W3C WAI - evaluating web accessibility · Directive (EU) 2019/882 (EAA)

Beyond automation

Tested by experts, not just tools

Manual expert review

Automated tools cannot detect every accessibility issue. Certified professionals review real user behavior - keyboard interaction, focus order, forms, visual design and complex user journeys. Essential for applications, portals, login areas, calculators and dashboards.

Assistive technology testing

A site can look accessible and still block users who rely on assistive technologies. We test with keyboard-only navigation and screen reader-oriented workflows to uncover the practical barriers automated tools miss - how real users actually experience the interface.

AI-assisted, expert-validated

AI accelerates parts of the review - issue detection, document analysis, remediation guidance. It never replaces expert judgment: every output is reviewed and validated by accessibility professionals before delivery.

One place

Everything runs in the dedicated EqualWeb audit platform

No scattered email threads. The full audit lifecycle is managed inside a dedicated EqualWeb audit platform built for this exact workflow: your development team works together in one place - sharing issues between team members, assigning owners, marking what has been fixed, adding notes and comments on every finding, and managing the entire audit process in a clear, intuitive system. Every finding carries its severity, WCAG mapping and recommended fix; our experts update retest and validation outcomes in the same view your product, development, QA, legal and compliance teams share. Need it outside the platform? Export the full audit to an Excel file at any time.

  • What the issue is, where it appears, and which WCAG requirement it relates to
  • How severe it is and what user impact it creates
  • Share issues across your dev team, assign owners, and mark fixes as done
  • Add notes and comments on every finding, right where the work happens
  • Whether the issue was resolved after retesting - validated by our experts
  • One-click export of the full audit to an Excel (XLSX) file

Independent validation of your fixes

Prefer to remediate in-house? EqualWeb acts as the independent validation layer. After your developers complete the fixes, we retest, confirm what was resolved, flag what remains, and document the outcome - stronger evidence, lower risk of incomplete remediation.

Ongoing accessibility monitoring

Accessibility is not static. New content, features, CMS changes and third-party components introduce new issues over time. Ongoing monitoring keeps accessibility status visible across your digital assets - continuous governance, not a one-time project.

Two ways to get there

Who does the fixing - your team, or ours?

Both paths run on the same platform, the same certified experts and the same testing methodology. The difference is who remediates.

Accessibility Audit - this service

We audit, test, prioritize, guide and validate. Your development team fixes the code. Best when you have in-house developers and want expert eyes plus independent proof.

Managed Compliance - the full service

Everything in the audit, plus our certified IAAP/CPWA experts do the remediation for you - client-side code fixes, continuous monitoring, a signed Accessibility Compliance Certificate, a VPAT report and litigation support.

Many organizations start with the audit and upgrade to full remediation once the scope is clear - the findings carry over, nothing is repeated.

Fit

Who this service is for

Government and public-sector organizations, financial institutions, enterprise websites and applications, teams preparing for compliance deadlines, legal and compliance teams that need documentation, and product or QA teams integrating accessibility into release workflows - anywhere an internal development team owns the code.

What this service is not

This is not a widget-only quick fix, and it does not include code remediation. It is professional accessibility assessment: testing, issue documentation, remediation guidance, retesting, validation and compliance support. Need the fixing done for you as well? That is our full Managed Compliance service - code remediation, certification and litigation support included. PDF and document remediation can be scoped separately.

FAQ

Accessibility audit packages - common questions

How do I know how many unique templates my website has?
A unique template is a distinct page layout - homepage, product page, article, checkout step, dashboard view. Pages that share the same layout count as one template, no matter how many there are. Before any work begins, a certified specialist reviews your site with you, maps the templates and key user flows, and confirms the final count in writing.
What exactly is a validation round?
After we deliver the audit report, your development team fixes the issues. In a validation round, our experts retest every reported issue, mark each one as resolved or remaining, check that no new failures were introduced, and update the status in the EqualWeb platform. Your package includes 1-3 rounds depending on the tier, and extra rounds can be added at the price shown in each package.
Is the VPAT really included at no extra charge?
Yes. Once the final validation round in your package is complete, we complete the Voluntary Product Accessibility Template and issue your Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) reflecting the validated state of your site - included in every package, at every level.
Which standards do you test against?
WCAG 2.2 Level AA by default, mapped to the regulations that apply to you - ADA (US), EN 301 549 / the European Accessibility Act (EU), AODA (Canada) and IS 5568 (Israel). If you need a specific standard or level, we set it during scoping.
What happens if we exceed the template cap in our package?
Nothing surprising. Each package lists a fixed price per extra unique template. If scoping reveals more templates than the cap, we tell you the exact total before work begins - no hidden fees.
Do you audit native mobile apps or PDF documents?
Yes, both - they are scoped and priced separately from these website packages. Talk to a specialist and we will build a combined quote.
