Section 508 and Title II
Section 508
Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act requires that federal agencies, as well as contractors and subcontractors who work with federal agencies, build Information and Communication Technology (ICT) that is developed, procured, maintained, or used be accessible to people with disabilities.
Specifically, digital content created by these entities must meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 Level A and AA technical standard.
Section 752
Section 752 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act was enacted by Congress in 2023 and stipulates that entities that fall under Section 508 complete a 105-question assessment annually.
The data collected in this annual assessment is then shared with the General Services Administration (GSA) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) for their reports to Congress. Failure by entities to demonstrate compliance can result in loss of federal funding.
Title II
As part of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Title II mandates that websites and digital content of state and local governments comply with WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA.
Siteimprove offers tools that scan all content on your sites, including PDFs and other documents, for issues with Title II and WCAG conformance.

What makes us the right fit?
Manual testing is a must-have
Automated testing can cover many of the bases when it comes to accessibility testing, but it can’t cover everything. No machine or computer program can assess the full experience for assistive technology users and users with disabilities as they access the functionality and content of your site. Manual testing is required to fully cover all the WCAG success criteria that make up the technical standards in current accessibility regulations.
Highly trained and certified manual testing specialists are your best bet for detecting issues that even the most robust automated testing won’t detect.
Accessibility compliance
Our platform ensures that government digital content complies with WCAG, ADA, and Section 508 standards: It flags issues and helps you fix them quickly. Plus, Siteimprove regularly identifies and removes outdated content so that every visitor lands on exactly what they’re looking for.
Content quality assurance
We get it: The quality of your content signals the quality of your information and services, for every user and on every page. That’s why broken links, embarrassing misspellings, inaccessible content, and outdated pages don’t stand a chance against us.
SEO strategy
Government websites are known for crowded, voluminous content, which can make it hard for constituents to find what they’re looking for. When your SEO is faultless and yields relevant search results for site visitors, it reinforces their satisfaction and trust in your agency.
Policy compliance
Whether you need help building a web governance framework or systems to make sure that validation processes and policies are followed, our policy compliance module reduces risk and reinforces accountability among your team members.
