ACCESSIBILITY

Design access into
every workflow

An accountability artifact, not a public relations gesture. This page details WCAG conformance, known issues, assistive technology coverage, and how to request alternative formats or report barriers.

ACCESSIBILITY PRINCIPLES

Seven commitments

These govern how accessibility is built, tested and supported —
and how it is talked about.

Access first

Core content, controls, support and reporting are usable without a mouse and without relying on colour, motion, sound or vision alone.

Locked principle

Evidence before claim

Conformance language is status-qualified and tied to scope, test date, method, exceptions and a named owner.

Locked principle

No accessibility paywall

Accessibility of the product and public site is not a premium-plan feature. Procurement artifacts may be sales-assisted; access itself is never gated.

Locked principle

Native semantics first

Semantic HTML before ARIA. Custom widgets require complete keyboard and assistive-technology behaviour.

Locked principle

Complete journeys

Accessibility applies to full workflows, not isolated components or hero sections.

Locked principle

Support without friction

Reporting an accessibility issue never requires a sales conversation, marketing consent or an account upgrade.

Locked principle

Continuous governance

Accessibility has owners, a test cadence, regression gates, issue severity, remediation targets and evidence.

Locked principle
CURRENT STATUS AND SCOPE

Seven statuses, because
conformance is not binary

WCAG is a technical standard, not a certification programme.
Conformance claims are the responsibility of the content provider,
so each scope carries its own evaluated status.

Legend of the seven evaluated conformance statuses and their scopes
Operability, semantics and visual design

What is built, and where it is
tested

Each pattern carries its own status. This page follows every one of
them, so you can verify the claims on the page you are reading.

Keyboard and focus

Full keyboard operability

Every interactive control reachable and operable by keyboard across complete workflows, not isolated components.

Verified — partial

Visible focus indicator

A persistent, high-contrast focus outline on every focusable element. Focus is never suppressed for aesthetics.

Verified — conforms

Logical focus order

DOM order matches visual order. Focus moves predictably and returns sensibly when a dialog closes.

Verified — partial

Skip link

A skip-to-content link is the first focusable element on every page, visible on focus.

Verified — conforms

No keyboard traps

Focus can always leave a component. Modal focus is contained deliberately and released on close.

Verified — conforms
Screen reader and semantics

Native semantics first

Semantic HTML before ARIA. Headings, landmarks, lists and tables carry real structure rather than styled substitutes.

Verified — conforms

Accessible names

Every control has a programmatic name matching its visible label, including icon-only actions.

Verified — partial

Dynamic announcements

Status changes, filter results and async panels announce through live regions with appropriate politeness.

Verified — partial

Decorative content hidden

Icons and separators that carry no meaning are hidden from assistive technology rather than announced.

Verified — conforms
Visual, contrast, zoom and reflow

Text contrast

Body text meets 4.5:1 against its background. Measured programmatically rather than assumed from a palette.

Verified — conforms

Status never by colour alone

Every status carries a text label. Colour reinforces but never carries the meaning by itself.

Verified — conforms

Reflow at 400% zoom

Content reflows to a single column without horizontal scrolling at 320 CSS pixels equivalent.

Verified — partial

Text spacing

Content remains readable when line height, letter and word spacing are increased by user stylesheet.

In testing
MOTION, INPUT, FORMS AND DENSE DATA

Where enterprise software
usually fails

Timeouts, validation errors and dense tables are the three places
accessible design most often breaks in governance software.

MOTION, TIMING AND INPUT
  • Reduced-motion preference respected; no essential information conveyed by motion
  • No auto-playing media or carousels that move without user control
  • Session timeouts warn before expiry with an option to extend
  • Pointer gestures have a single-pointer alternative
  • Minimum 44×44 touch targets
FORMS, ERRORS AND AUTHENTICATION
  • Persistent visible labels, never placeholder-only
  • Related fields grouped with a programmatic group name
  • Errors identified in text, associated with their field, and summarised
  • Entered data preserved on error — never cleared
  • No cognitive-function test required to authenticate without an alternative
TABLES, CHARTS AND REPORTS
  • Real table semantics with header associations and a caption
  • Sort and filter state announced, not just visually indicated
  • Charts paired with an accessible data table alternative
  • Generated reports carry structure, headings and reading order
  • Downloadable documents tagged where produced by us
TESTING AND ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY

Method, cadence and what is
actually covered

Automated checks alone catch a minority of barriers. The
combinations below are what we test against, with their coverage
status.

Method
  • Automated checks in the build pipeline on every release
  • Manual keyboard testing across complete workflows
  • Screen reader testing on the combinations listed opposite
  • Zoom and reflow at 200% and 400%
  • Contrast verification measured programmatically
  • Regression gate before release for previously fixed issues
Cadence and ownership
  • Automated: every build
  • Manual keyboard: every release candidate
  • Screen reader: quarterly, plus on changed workflows
  • Full evaluation: annually per scope
  • Named accessibility owner per product area
Assistive technology and browser combinations covered by testing, with coverage status
Known limitations and remediation

Sixteen open issues, published
with owners

Two high, five medium, nine low. The high-severity items are listed
in full below; the remainder are available in an accessibility review.

High severity · A11Y-2026-0412

Chart visualisations lack an accessible data alternative

Affects: dense analytics views in the web app

User impact

Screen reader and keyboard users cannot access the underlying values for several chart types.

Workaround: the same data is available in the adjacent registry table for most views.

Status
Remediation in progress

Owner: Design system lead

No completion date published until the fix is approved for release.

High severity · A11Y-2026-0455

Focus not returned after closing certain drawers

Affects: evidence and detail drawers in three workflows

User impact

Keyboard focus moves to the document start, forcing users to re-traverse the page.

Workaround: none currently available.

Status
Remediation in progress

Owner: Web app engineering

Regression gate added so the fix cannot silently revert.

Third-party dependency · A11Y-2026-0388

Embedded vendor component keyboard behaviour

Affects: one embedded surface in the web app

User impact

Some controls within the embedded component are not keyboard reachable.

Mitigation: an equivalent non-embedded path is provided for the same task.

Status
Third-party dependency

Owner: Vendor management — raised with supplier

Vendor accessibility evidence requested; response pending.

Found an accessibility barrier? Tell us what happened.

We want to understand the task you were trying to complete and the barrier you encountered. You do not need to be a customer or provide marketing consent to report an issue.

We collect only what you enter above, to investigate and respond to the barrier you describe. Please do not include disability, medical or other health information — we do not need it and do not ask for it. If you provide an email we will use it solely to follow up on this report.

PROCUREMENT, ACR / VPAT AND EVIDENCE

Test the page you are reading

Everything claimed here applies to this page. Tab through it without a mouse. Zoom to 400%. Turn colour off and check that every status still reads. If something fails, the reporting form above needs no account, no consent and no contact details.

No conformance is claimed for a scope that has not been fully evaluated and approved, and no independent accessibility certification exists.

Direct first sentences, then qualified detail. Every answer is
present in the page source.

WCAG 2.2 Level AA is the design and testing target. Conformance is published only for scopes fully evaluated and approved — and most scopes currently read "verified — partial".

Visual, contrast and reflow conforms. Keyboard, screen reader and forms are partial. Data tables and charts are in remediation. Documents, media and mobile are in testing. See the statuses
