Accessibility

Digital accessibility is an important subject to consider in today’s digital landscape. In recognition of this principle A10 strives to create a platform that is as navigable, actionable, and consumable by people with varying physical and cognitive impairments as possible. As such, we’ve set forth a clear plan to not only achieve, but to enhance and maintain digital accessibility conformance over time.

We’ve aimed to achieve levels A and AA compliance, as set forth by the WCAG 2.1 guidelines for digital accessibility, which is an international standard on the subject. As a commitment to both achieve and maintain compliance over time, we’ve enlisted the services of ABILITY, a national leader in digital accessibility consulting services.

ABILITY has thoroughly audited our platform to identify WCAG violations, which our team has fixed and been confirmed by ABILITY. ABILITY’s auditing protocol has included:

  • Multiple rounds of auditing of our website
  • Screen-reader testing with NVDA
  • Technical auditing of all unique templates (multi-dozen point inspection)
  • Keyboard navigability testing
  • Mobile reflow testing
  • Random sampling testing when relevant
  • Automated scanning with the A11y Toolbox accessibility compliance software

Moving forward, we will periodically audit and update our platform at regular intervals to facilitate our efforts to continue to hit the moving target as digital accessibility is fluid and can be subjective. We believe these efforts, coupled with our use of auditing tools and reference materials will enable our platform to remain accessible to those with motor, visual, auditory, and cognitive impairment as reasonably possible.

What has been audited and certified

On August 29, 2023, our website was independently verified as partially conformant, per WCAG 2.1, levels A and AA. There are some aspects of our website that we do not have control over, such as 3rd-party limitations. To learn more, please click this link, or click the badge below.


Certified WCAG 2.1 AA Partially Conformant

Digital accessibility is fluid and many of the WCAG guidelines are open to reasonable, case-by-case, best-faith interpretations.
