94% Of Websites Continue To Discriminate, Unnecessarily Risking Litigation Under The ADA

AAAtraq’s new Audit & Alert service launches next month, providing an instant, impartial assessment of client websites for ADA risk. Ten foundation clients will be offered 50% off a lifetime subscription of Audit & Alert and HE institutions are strongly encouraged to apply.

There is a myriad of technical reporting offerings already on the market that assess digital compliance in line with the ADA, but nothing, that comprehensively serves the people that are most likely to have to handle and pay out for litigation should it occur. Chief Financial Officers and General Counsels need to be provided with independent, unbiased clarity that they can immediately understand to assess their level of risk. When compliance slips down the agenda, or actions are only approved by vendors, spend is being wasted and serious vulnerabilities remain.

Despite five years of effort and best endeavours, 94% of websites¹ continue to discriminate by failing to be ADA compliant. AAAtraq’s Audit & Alert ensures their clients have the information they need to make an informed decision on the effectiveness of their compliance expenditure.

“In the last 5 years both claims and spend have risen exponentially, with little or no change in compliance adherence” says Lawrence Shaw, CEO of AAAtraq. “Until there is a risk-control-led approach, Universities and Colleges will continue to fail on this. As a CFO, or General Counsel - you cannot manage this risk until you can monitor it.”

AAAtraq are advising that any ‘compliance project’ that takes longer than three months is a waste of money. Shaw said, “All organizations have a societal need to be inclusive and a legal requirement not to discriminate. To stop discriminating online, ensure equal access for all and most importantly remove litigation risk. You need to be pro-active and not reactive.”

Based on many years of experience in the industry and as a private company that is averse to vendor influence, Shaw’s team have culminated everything they have learned to help organizations to meet the challenges around compliance and website accessibility.
