Frequently asked questions
What is a VPAT and an Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR)?
A VPAT is the template used to document accessibility conformance. An ACR is the completed report based on a VPAT, showing how your product meets standards like WCAG or Section 508.
How often should we update our VPAT or audit results?
Ideally, you should update your VPAT or audit results after any major releases or significant fixes have been implemented. At a minimum, update them annually to ensure that procurement teams can view an accurate and current accessibility status.
Does Deque offer remediation support if issues are found?
Yes. Deque provides expert remediation services, developer guidance, and tools to help your team fix issues quickly and achieve conformance.
