Expert Accessibility Remediation Without Compromising Audit Independence
Accord Compliance provides accessibility remediation support strictly as a non-audit service, delivered through clearly defined processes that preserve our independence as an audit-led institution. We do not remediate issues we audit. Remediation support is offered only after an independent audit is complete, and is structured to avoid conflicts of interest.
Why Remediation Must Be Separate From Audits
Accessibility compliance requires independent verification.
When the same entity audits and remediates, compliance credibility is compromised. Regulators, legal teams, and enterprise buyers increasingly expect a clean separation between:
- Accessibility assessment (audit)
- Accessibility implementation (remediation)
Unlike testing tools or remediation services, a true audit:
Accessibility Audits Designed for Regulatory Confidence
Remediation support at Accord Compliance does not mean hands-on code changes by auditors.
We provide:
Expert guidance
Technical clarification
Validation support
Oversight frameworks
This ensures accessibility fixes are accurate, compliant, and verifiable — without undermining audit integrity.
How Remediation Works
Our remediation support follows a structured, audit-led approach that preserves independence.
1. Independent Audit First (Mandatory)
All remediation support is based on a completed accessibility audit that:
- Is WCAG-aligned
- Is regulation-mapped (ADA, EAA, SEBI, AODA, etc.)
- Includes evidence-based findings
We do not provide remediation guidance without a formal audit baseline.
2. Remediation Guidance (Non-Implementing)
We support remediation through:
- Clarification of audit findings
- WCAG success criteria interpretation
- Expected compliance outcomes
- Common implementation pitfalls
- Priority sequencing for fixes
We do not write production code or implement fixes as part of audit services.
3. Collaboration With Your Team or Partners
Remediation can be executed by:
- Your internal engineering team
- Your existing vendors
- Accredited third-party accessibility partners
We work alongside them to ensure fixes align with audit requirements.
4. Post-Remediation Verification (Optional)
Once remediation is complete, we can conduct:
- Independent re-verification
- Closure testing
- Updated compliance confirmation reports
This restores a clean audit trail for regulators and stakeholders.
Who Remediation Is For
Our accessibility remediation services are designed for:
Enterprises with in-house development teams
We audit financial services, healthcare, telecom, and energy platforms against WCAG 2.1 AA and sector-specific mandates, delivering regulatory-ready documentation for inspections.
Organisations working with external vendors
Stock brokers, depositories, AMCs, and exchanges with investor-facing digital platforms. We ensure your trading platforms, mobile apps, and client portals meet WCAG 2.1 AA and IS 17802:2021 standards mandated by SEBI.
SaaS platforms under regulatory pressure
SaaS platforms, digital lending, robo-advisors, and payment gateways under SEBI oversight. We audit web applications, mobile apps, APIs, and third-party integrations for complete accessibility compliance.
Financial institutions and regulated entities
Government agencies, regulatory bodies, and public sector enterprises requiring GIGW 3.0 compliance. We align your digital services with Indian accessibility frameworks and international WCAG standards for inclusive public access.
Teams requiring clarity, not guesswork
Enterprises operating in India, Europe, and North America requiring multi-jurisdiction compliance. One comprehensive audit mapped to SEBI, EAA, Section 508, and other regional standards—saving time and cost.
*If accessibility is a compliance requirement not a checkbox — we are built for you.
What We Do and What We Don't
We Do:
Interpret WCAG and regulatory requirements
Support compliance-ready outcomes
Validate remediation approaches
Explain audit findings clearly
We Don't:
Fix issues we audit
Provide "rubber-stamp" compliance
Combine audit and remediation into a single engagement
Act as a development agency
This distinction protects your compliance credibility.
Why This Matters for Regulatory Compliance
SEBI has made it clear that digital accessibility is no longer optional for regulated entities.
Many accessibility regulations require:
Independent verification
Defensible audit evidence
Clear separation of roles
Our remediation support model is built to meet expectations under:
ADA (US)
European Accessibility Act (EAA)
AODA (Ontario)
SEBI digital accessibility expectations
Section 508
Other global accessibility frameworks
