What is a technical audit?
In this technical audit, we examine 48 of the 55 success criteria of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). These include the operation of the (mobile) menu, the functioning of forms and the behaviour of interactive elements. This technical audit is ideal for developers who want to make their platform digitally accessible.
What is the WCAG?
The WCAG consist of guidelines to help you make the internet more digitally accessible. These are scientifically determined to make it easier for people with disabilities to use the internet.
What is a partial audit?
For a partial technical audit, 48 out of 55 success criteria are examined. These are tested according to the WCAG-EM; the report is targeted for developers. This report can be combined with the report of a partial content audit.
In our handy table you will find an overview of which success criteria are part of our partial technical and content audits.
This is how a technical audit at Cardan works:
1. We choose a date
Together with our planner Femke, you will choose a suitable time to have the this technical audit carried out. The online consultation and free re-audit will also be scheduled.
2. The sample is determined
In this technology or platform audit, we look at possible accessibility issues in the technology. Consider, for example, the operation of the (mobile) menu, the functioning of forms and the behaviour of interactive elements.
3. The technical audit has started
Our researcher starts the audit! We do a manual inspection based on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.2 AA) In this technical audit, we examine 48 out of 55 success criteria.
4. View the report
Within 3 weeks, your audit report will be ready in My Cardan. This report is available in HTML that can be used right away for the accessibility statement. You will also receive the results in pdf, JSON and CSV. The report is provided with all our findings, suggestions and solutions.
5. The online consultation with our WCAG-specialist
How do you get started with all the content findings? In this online consultation, you can put all your questions to our researcher. Together, you will spar about content solutions for success criteria that are not (yet) fulfilling.
6. Time for the re-examination
By mutual agreement, the retest is carried out 15 weeks after the start of the first audit In it, we audit if the website or app is more digitally accessible after the first audit!
