The Compliance Roadmap: Understanding the Audit Report
After running your initial accessibility scan in Adacertify, the result is a comprehensive Accessibility Audit Report.
This report is far more valuable than a simple list of failures; it functions as a step-by-step roadmap toward full accessibility compliance.
It clearly breaks down your website’s current compliance status and highlights all areas that require immediate attention, giving you the detailed information needed to prioritize and implement effective fixes.
Key Components of Your Detailed Report
The Adacertify Audit Report is structured to provide clarity and facilitate efficient action. It includes several key components:
-
Overall Accessibility Score: A single, quick snapshot number or percentage that instantly tells you how compliant your website currently is, allowing for easy progress tracking.
-
Issue Categories: Problems found are logically grouped by type (e.g., images, forms, navigation, color contrast, or content structure). This grouping helps your team assign tasks to the correct specialized roles (developers, designers, or content managers).
-
Severity Levels: Each detected issue is assigned a High, Medium, or Low priority rating. This essential feature helps you focus on fixing the issues that carry the highest legal risk or create the most significant barriers for users, ensuring your remediation efforts are efficient.
-
Actionable Suggestions: Crucially, alongside each problem, you’ll find clear recommendations or links to automated fixes where the platform can correct the issue instantly.
-
Compliance Mapping: Every single issue is directly linked to the specific WCAG or ADA guidelines it violates. This provides the necessary legal context, so you know exactly which standard is affected and why the fix is required.
Translating Problems into Action
The true value of the Adacertify report is its ability to translate technical problems into a practical plan of action. By providing a clear explanation of what is wrong, why it matters, and precisely how to fix it, the report eliminates guesswork.
We highly recommend you share the report directly with your developers, designers, or content managers. The structured, categorized, and prioritized data allows each team member to quickly resolve the issues assigned to their specific area of expertise, accelerating your journey toward full compliance.
