Will your company agree to meet your stated accessibility standard or WCAG 2.1 AA as part of your contractual agreement for the solution?

This question is asking whether your company will contractually commit to meeting either your own stated accessibility standards or the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA standards for the solution you're providing. WCAG 2.1 AA is an internationally recognized set of recommendations for improving web accessibility, developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Level AA compliance means meeting both Level A (basic) and Level AA (addressing the most significant barriers) requirements, making digital content accessible to a wider range of people with disabilities. This question appears in a security assessment because: 1. Accessibility is increasingly considered part of overall compliance requirements that organizations must meet 2. Many jurisdictions have legal requirements for digital accessibility (like ADA in the US, EAA in Europe) 3. Contractual commitments to accessibility standards create accountability and reduce legal/compliance risks for the purchasing organization While accessibility might seem separate from security, both are aspects of overall risk management and compliance. Organizations need to ensure that solutions they adopt won't create legal exposure or compliance gaps in any area, including accessibility. To best answer this question: 1. Be honest about your current accessibility compliance 2. If you can commit to WCAG 2.1 AA or your own equivalent standards in the contract, say so clearly 3. If you cannot fully commit, explain your current accessibility status, roadmap for improvement, and what specific standards you can contractually commit to 4. Provide documentation of any accessibility testing or certifications you already have
