Our commitment
Cybercontrols wants everyone who visits cybercontrols.io to be able to read it, navigate it and act on it, whatever technology they use and whatever their abilities. We are a private company, so the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) Accessibility Regulations 2018 do not formally apply to us, but as an approved Government Commercial Agency supplier we choose to hold ourselves to the same benchmark: the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA.
What we do to support accessibility
- Pages are built with semantic HTML, a logical heading hierarchy, and text that resizes without breaking the layout.
- Colour contrast on our refreshed pages is designed to meet AA ratios, on both the dark and light sections of the design.
- The site can be navigated by keyboard, interactive elements have visible focus states, and decorative graphics are marked so screen readers skip them.
- Link text and button labels describe where they lead, and we avoid conveying information by colour alone.
Conformance status
The site partially conforms to WCAG 2.2 level AA. "Partially conforms" means most content meets the standard, but some does not yet. We are in the middle of a full redesign of cybercontrols.io, and the refreshed pages are built to the standard from the outset; the honest position is that some older pages, built on a previous platform, still fall short.
Known limitations
- Some images on older pages lack meaningful alternative text.
- Colour contrast on parts of the legacy design falls below AA ratios.
- Some heading structures on older pages are not strictly hierarchical.
- Older PDF documents may not be fully accessible.
Each of these is being addressed as the site refresh replaces the legacy pages.
