Accessibility Statement for NetScan Solutions
NetScan Solutions is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for everyone. We are continually improving the user experience for all users and applying the relevant accessibility standards to provide equal access to information. Our goal is to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA.
Our Commitment to Accessibility
We firmly believe that the internet should be accessible to everyone, regardless of ability or disability. We strive to make our website usable by as many people as possible. This means providing clear, simple, and easy-to-understand content, as well as ensuring that our website is compatible with assistive technologies.
Measures to Support Accessibility
NetScan Solutions takes the following measures to ensure accessibility:
- Regular Accessibility Audits: We conduct regular audits of our website to identify and address accessibility issues. These audits are performed by both internal accessibility experts and external consultants.
- WCAG Compliance: We aim to comply with WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards, which provide a comprehensive framework for making web content more accessible.
- Assistive Technology Compatibility: We ensure our website is compatible with a wide range of assistive technologies, including screen readers, screen magnifiers, and speech recognition software.
- Ongoing Training: Our staff receives ongoing training on accessibility best practices to ensure they are equipped to create and maintain accessible content.
- User Feedback: We actively solicit and respond to user feedback on accessibility issues to continuously improve our website.
Specific Accessibility Features Implemented
We have implemented the following accessibility features to enhance the user experience:
- Alternative Text: All images and non-text content include descriptive alternative text, allowing screen readers to convey the meaning and context of the content. For example, our logo at the top has the alt text "NetScan Solutions Logo - Network Security Solutions."
- Keyboard Navigation: Our website is fully navigable using a keyboard, ensuring that users who cannot use a mouse can still access all content and functionality.
- Clear and Consistent Navigation: We have designed our navigation to be clear, consistent, and easy to understand, allowing users to quickly find the information they need.
- Sufficient Color Contrast: We have ensured that there is sufficient color contrast between text and background colors, making it easier for users with low vision to read the content. We use a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text.
- Resizable Text: Users can easily resize the text on our website without losing content or functionality. This can typically be done using browser settings.
- Descriptive Links: All links are descriptive and provide clear information about their destination. We avoid using generic link text such as "click here."
- Form Labels and Instructions: All form fields have clear labels and instructions, making it easier for users to understand what information is required.
- Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML elements to structure our content, making it easier for assistive technologies to understand and interpret.
- ARIA Attributes: We use ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to provide additional information to assistive technologies, enhancing the accessibility of complex elements and interactions.
- Video Captions: All video content includes captions, providing access to users who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Known Limitations
Despite our best efforts to ensure accessibility, some limitations may exist. We are actively working to address these issues and improve the overall accessibility of our website. Known limitations include:
- Some older documents may not be fully accessible. We are in the process of updating these documents to meet accessibility standards.
