StrongAccess · Accessibility assurance
StrongAccess is our accessibility assurance programme for government, banking, healthcare, telecom and other regulated organisations in the GCC, Australia and New Zealand. We audit your websites, apps and documents, help your teams fix what we find, and keep every release accessible.

Why StrongAccess

|---|---|---|
| Testing method | Automated scan only, which catches only a portion of WCAG failures | Automated scanning, expert manual testing and assistive technology (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, TalkBack) |
| What you receive | A list of issues with little engineering context | A prioritised backlog with code-level fix patterns mapped to your stack |
| Reporting | Raw issue export | Executive dashboards covering risk, severity, trend and coverage, plus an audit trail |
| Engagement | One-off audit, then nothing until the next one | Recurring assurance with release-gate testing and quarterly governance reviews |
| Workflow fit | Separate from how your teams build | Integrated with your SDLC, CI/CD pipeline, issue tracker and design system |
| Bilingual and RTL | English-first; right-to-left defects missed | Arabic and English journeys tested, including RTL layout and Arabic screen reader output |

FAQ
No. Automated tools catch only a portion of WCAG failures. Whether alt text is meaningful, whether a form makes sense to a screen reader user, or whether a payment can be completed by keyboard alone needs an expert to test it. StrongAccess combines automated scanning with manual testing and assistive technology.
WCAG 2.2 Level AA by default. It's backwards compatible, so a site that meets WCAG 2.2 AA also meets 2.1 AA, the level most GCC policies reference. Australian and New Zealand guidance now points to WCAG 2.2 AA. If a contract or tender names a specific version, we report against it.
We give your teams code-level fix patterns for each issue, run pair-fix sessions with your developers, and re-test once fixes are in. Your team keeps ownership of the code.
Yes. We test iOS and Android apps with VoiceOver and TalkBack, and test documents and PDFs, including Arabic documents, for screen reader accessibility.
Yes. In the Managed Assurance package we set up release-gate checks and CI/CD integration and sync findings to your issue tracker, so accessibility is checked with every release.
Start with a short briefing on your channels, risks and timelines. We'll recommend the right entry point and give you a fixed quote.
