UNIFIED WEB COMPLIANCE

It seems every Web team needs to have a resident legal counsel. New laws to govern Web properties for areas such as Accessibility, Privacy, Security, and Quality seem to be added to the list of requirements everyday.

Unified Web Compliance is a fresh look at how to address the diverse and increasing number of laws for your Web content in a holistic way.

Benefits of Unified Web Compliance

• Avoid conflicts—having different teams and tools for each compliance effort can create serious disconnects.
• Eliminate redundancy—touching the same code repeatedly is a waste of time and can increase errors.
• Correlate the cause to the cure—bad coding practices and lack of knowledge are at the root of most compliance problems.

Are you tired of doing manual reviews? With constant evolution, most organizations barely have time to keep up emergency maintenance let alone think of compliance issues. Can you afford to rely on tedious, error prone, eye-balling efforts? Is it an acceptable risk to not perform an end-to-end audit? Are you prepared to engage in litigation defending Equal Employment Opportunity Clauses or be on the front page when your Web application security is breached?

The case for automation

• Reliability—a single interpretation is necessary for reliable and uniform implementation of the laws. Automation is necessary to get it right.
• Full life cycle support—providing tools when they are needed, through the different lifecycle phases, will ensure they are used.
• Focus on core expertise—expecting your team to master all the regulatory requirements is an unnecessary distraction from the core business requirements.
• End of the endless meetings—imagine what you'll do with your new found time when you can actually start down a path of automation.

If you have looked at automation—how many tools do you think you'll need to check for accessibility, privacy, security, disclaimers for external content beyond your control, broken links, and all the other Web compliance, risk, and governance issues? Where in the lifecycle will the tools fit? Do you need independent external audits? How often do you need such audits? How do you tell if the vendor you are speaking with has the necessary expertise?
