Digital Accessibility Audit & Fix Services for Regulated Entities

Ensuring Compliance and Inclusive Access in the Securities Market

Your Partner in SEBI Compliance and Digital Inclusion

The SEBI circular (SEBI/HO/ITD-1/ITD_VIAP/P/CIR/2025/111) mandates that all Regulated Entities (REs) ensure their digital platforms are compliant with the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 (RPwD Act, 2016) and related rules. This includes conducting comprehensive accessibility audits and implementing timely remediation of identified issues.

We offer a complete, integrated solution for REs, covering both the mandatory digital accessibility audits and the subsequent remediation of findings. Our services are designed to ensure your compliance, protect the rights of persons with disabilities, and enhance the overall user experience on your digital platforms.

Our End-to-End Audit & Fix Process

Our approach is structured to provide a seamless journey from assessment to full compliance:

Phase 1: Comprehensive Digital Accessibility Audit

Our audits are thorough and adhere to all regulatory requirements:

  • IAAP Certified Professionals: Audits are conducted by International Association of Accessibility Professionals (IAAP) certified experts, as mandated by SEBI.
  • Multi-Standard Compliance: Evaluation against:
    • Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 (or latest)
    • Guidelines for Indian Government Websites (GIGW)
    • IS 17802: Indian Standards on Accessibility Requirements for ICT Products and Services
    • Provisions of the RPwD Act, 2016 and corresponding rules
  • Platform Coverage: Comprehensive assessment of all digital platforms, including websites, mobile applications, and investor portals.
  • Usability Testing: Crucial real-world testing performed by persons with disabilities to ensure practical usability and identify overlooked barriers.
  • Detailed Reporting: A clear, actionable audit report outlining all non-compliance issues, their severity, impact, and specific recommendations for remediation. This report is suitable for regulatory submission.

Phase 2: Remediation & Implementation

We don’t just identify problems; we provide the solutions:

  • Expert Remediation: Our team of accessibility specialists and developers implements the necessary technical and content changes to resolve all identified issues.
  • Code-Level Fixes: Direct modifications to your website and app code to ensure accessibility standards are met.
  • Document Accessibility: Conversion and optimization of all digital documents (PDFs, circulars, forms) to be fully accessible, including tagged PDFs and logical reading order.
  • Multimedia Accessibility: Adding captions, transcripts, audio descriptions, and Indian Sign Language (ISL) interpretations to video and audio content.
  • Registration & KYC Process Enhancements: Implementing alternatives for digital KYC, e-KYC, and video KYC processes to accommodate differently-abled users (e.g., human-assisted video KYC, voice-assisted KYC).
  • Post-Remediation Verification: Re-testing and re-auditing to confirm that all issues have been successfully resolved and the platform achieves the required accessibility conformance.
