Web Accessibility & Compliance Audit

Automated WCAG 2.2 accessibility, privacy, and internationalization compliance assessment

Accessibility lawsuits, GDPR fines, and regulatory audits are increasing every year. EdgeDNS automates compliance assessment across accessibility (WCAG 2.2), privacy (GDPR/CCPA), and internationalization — giving you a composite compliance score with actionable remediation steps.

The Challenge

Compliance requirements span multiple regulations: WCAG 2.2 for accessibility (mandated by the European Accessibility Act and ADA), GDPR and CCPA for privacy, and proper internationalization for global reach. Manual audits are expensive, inconsistent, and cannot scale across a portfolio of domains.

The Solution

Use EdgeDNS compliance APIs to run automated audits across all your public-facing domains. Check 24 WCAG accessibility criteria, analyze cookie and consent management for privacy compliance, verify hreflang and i18n configuration, and get a composite compliance score from 12 weighted factors for audit evidence.

Results You Can Achieve

WCAG 2.2 Level AA: 24 success criteria

Automated checks against EAA-relevant Level AA criteria. References the W3C WCAG 2.2 specification.

Cookie + consent + privacy-policy in one scan

Tag inventory, consent-management detection, and privacy-policy presence — the inputs a GDPR / CCPA gap analysis needs.

Composite compliance score across 12 factors

Single score for cross-portfolio reporting, sub-scores for which control is failing where.

Code Example

Run a compliance audit across multiple domains

javascript

const domains = ['example.com', 'app.example.com', 'shop.example.com'];
const headers = { 'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' };

const results = await Promise.all(domains.map(async (domain) => {
  const [accessibility, privacy, i18n, compliance] = await Promise.all([
    fetch(`https://api.edgedns.dev/v1/domain/accessibility?domain=${domain}`, { headers }),
    fetch(`https://api.edgedns.dev/v1/domain/privacy-audit?domain=${domain}`, { headers }),
    fetch(`https://api.edgedns.dev/v1/domain/i18n?domain=${domain}`, { headers }),
    fetch(`https://api.edgedns.dev/v1/score/compliance?domain=${domain}`, { headers }),
  ].map(p => p.then(r => r.json())));

  return {
    domain,
    complianceGrade: compliance.data.grade,
    accessibility: accessibility.data.grade,
    privacy: privacy.data.grade,
    i18n: i18n.data.grade,
  };
}));

results.forEach(r => {
  console.log(`${r.domain}: Compliance ${r.complianceGrade} | A11y ${r.accessibility} | Privacy ${r.privacy} | i18n ${r.i18n}`);
});
