FAQ

How Managed Compliance works - frequently asked questions

What are the four stages of EqualWeb's Managed Compliance process?
EqualWeb Managed Compliance runs in four stages: Audit, Remediate, Monitor and Certify. Experts first benchmark your site against WCAG 2.2 and prioritize issues, then apply fixes and re-test each batch, continuous scanning tracks your live compliance score, and finally a signed Accessibility Compliance Certificate and full evidence pack are issued. Certification is delivered in up to 30 business days; monitoring is ongoing.
What happens during the accessibility audit at the start of Managed Compliance?
The audit combines an automated WCAG 2.2 scan with a manual review by certified IAAP/CPWA auditors, who examine the templates, flows and documents that automated scanners cannot judge on their own. Scheduled for days 1-5 of the engagement, it produces a prioritized issue list ranked by severity and legal risk, plus your baseline 0-100 compliance score.
Do I need my own developers for EqualWeb's Managed Compliance remediation?
No. EqualWeb's accessibility engineers apply expert fixes on the client side and layer in AI remediation, so assistive technology works without changes to your source code and without developer time on your side. In 99% of cases EqualWeb's team handles all issues, re-testing after each batch of fixes; you may only be asked for minor adjustments near the end.
Does EqualWeb keep monitoring my website after remediation is finished?
Yes. Monitoring is a built-in stage of Managed Compliance and continues after delivery. Continuous scanning checks your site against WCAG 2.2, tracks a live 0-100 compliance score in your dashboard, and flags regressions the moment new content or code is published, with alerts on new issues and lawsuit-risk changes - so you stay compliant rather than compliant once.
Who actually performs the work in EqualWeb's Managed Compliance service?
Each stage has a named owner. Certified IAAP/CPWA auditors run the audit alongside EqualWeb's AI scanning engine; accessibility engineers carry out remediation supported by an AI remediation layer; automated monitoring feeds your live dashboard; and a CPWA-certified compliance specialist verifies conformance and signs the final Accessibility Compliance Certificate.
