Foundation of Safety: The Continuous Monitoring Process
Accessibility is not a single action but an ongoing commitment. The nature of the modern web means that every time you add new content, tweak your design, or update software, you risk introducing fresh accessibility issues.
ADACertify’s Continuous Monitoring Process is designed to eliminate this risk, helping your site stay compliant even as it evolves. This system transforms accessibility from a manual, stressful chore into a reliable, automated part of your website’s foundation.
How ADACertify Maintains Perpetual Compliance
Our continuous monitoring system operates seamlessly in the background, acting as your 24/7 compliance watchdog:
-
Automated Scans: Our system automatically runs comprehensive scans at scheduled intervals—whether daily, weekly, or monthly, depending on your chosen settings and website activity. These routine checks ensure that no new content or code update slips by unnoticed.
-
Real-Time Alerts: If the system detects any new accessibility issues, particularly those with high severity, you receive an instant notification via email or directly within your ADACertify dashboard. This allows for immediate action before the issue can affect users or attract regulatory attention.
-
Issue Tracking & History: All problems are logged and clearly marked with severity levels (critical, major, minor), helping your team prioritize fixes efficiently. Furthermore, every scan is stored, providing a complete audit history. This robust historical record serves as irrefutable proof of your ongoing compliance efforts, which is a critical legal safeguard.
Maximizing Benefits and Best Practices
The core benefit of continuous monitoring is the peace of mind it provides. You no longer need to manually re-run audits every time you publish changes, knowing that ADACertify is automatically catching issues.
To get the most from this feature:
-
Schedule scans to run at least weekly for active sites, such as e-commerce platforms or high-traffic blogs.
-
Assign a dedicated team member to review the automated reports and manage the prioritized list of fixes.
-
For the most complete legal protection, always pair the automated continuous monitoring with periodic manual audits to ensure coverage for highly complex or custom-coded elements.
With ADACertify’s continuous monitoring, accessibility becomes a reliable, built-in feature of your website, not a reactive afterthought.
