What is an Accessibility Audit?

A professional audit is a comprehensive point-in-time review, often combining manual and automated testing.

What is an Ongoing Evidence Program?

A strong evidence program runs at trigger moments: before launches, tenders, governance reviews, and after major remediation.

Head-to-Head Comparison

Audits provide depth; trigger-based evidence provides timeliness and repeatability.

The Optimal Approach: Hybrid Strategy

Which Approach is Right for Your Organization?

Choose based on risk profile, change frequency, procurement obligations, and available specialist support.
