Built to be used
by everyone.
We target WCAG 2.1 Level AA across both the marketing site and the authenticated dashboard. Here is what we do, where we fall short, and how to flag a barrier.
1. Our commitment
Visual Sentinel aims to be usable by the widest possible audience, including people with visual, hearing, motor, or cognitive impairments. We target the WCAG 2.1 Level AA success criteria across both our marketing site and the authenticated dashboard.
2. What we do
We design and build with these practices in mind:
- Semantic HTML for landmarks, headings, lists, and forms.
- Every interactive control reachable by keyboard, with visible focus indicators.
- Sufficient color contrast on text, icons, and UI chrome (dark mode included).
- Alt text on informative images. Decorative images use empty alt attributes.
- ARIA labels on icon-only buttons, and
aria-liveregions for toasts and alerts. - Support for system-level
prefers-reduced-motionandprefers-color-scheme. - Screen-reader-friendly date, time, and number formatting localized to your organization timezone.
3. Known limitations
We are actively working on the following areas where conformance is partial:
- Some legacy form inputs on the /contact page are missing programmatic label associations. Tracked in our backlog and being fixed.
- Interactive charts on analytics dashboards render via canvas. We are adding data table fallbacks for screen-reader access to underlying numbers.
- The embedded API documentation is rendered by a third-party component (Scalar). We follow their accessibility releases and upgrade when fixes ship.
4. Testing approach
We combine automated and manual testing. Automated: axe-core, Lighthouse accessibility audits, and ESLint jsx-a11y rules enforced in CI. Manual: periodic keyboard-only and screen-reader walkthroughs (VoiceOver, NVDA) on signup, monitor creation, incident response, and settings flows.
5. Report an issue
If you encounter an accessibility barrier, please tell us. We aim to acknowledge reports within one business day and to fix or publish a workaround within two weeks for most issues.
Email accessibility@visualsentinel.com with the page URL, a short description of the barrier, and which assistive technology you are using (if any). Screenshots or recordings are welcome but not required.
6. Standards and regulation
This statement is prepared with reference to WCAG 2.1 AA and the European Accessibility Act (EU 2019/882), which entered into force for private-sector digital services on 28 June 2025.
