Methodology

Scanned against WCAG 2.0 / 2.1 success criteria at a 756 × 413 viewport, with the results mapped to practical EN 301 549 and European Accessibility Act readiness. Automated testing detects only part of WCAG risk; pair it with manual keyboard and assistive-technology testing for full coverage.

Legal compliance risk

Digital Accessibility Act readiness

Since 28 June 2025, the European Accessibility Act (Directive (EU) 2019/882) has applied to covered digital services across the EU market. Many organizations refer to this as the Digital Accessibility Act in procurement and compliance work. In practice, websites, apps, e-commerce, banking, transport, media and support journeys should align with EN 301 549 and WCAG AA expectations.

Non-compliance can trigger formal complaints, corrective orders, national authority investigations, financial penalties in EUR, reputational harm, contract loss, and restrictions on placing or keeping a non-conforming service in the market. This audit found 1 accessibility issue that may expose your organization to this risk and should be remediated promptly.

Priority implication: treat critical checkout, booking, account, payment and support barriers as commercial and compliance risks, not only technical defects. Remediation evidence can help demonstrate due diligence if customers, public buyers or regulators request proof of accessibility work.
