Accessibility Statement
SecureVista Tech is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all people, including those with disabilities. We continually work to improve the experience for everyone and apply relevant accessibility standards to our website and digital services.
1. Our Commitment
Accessibility is not an afterthought β it's a design requirement. We believe everyone deserves equal access to information about our services, the ability to book an appointment online, and full participation in digital experiences.
We approach accessibility the same way we approach security: as an ongoing practice, not a one-time checkbox. Our site is audited regularly, and we welcome feedback about any barriers you encounter.
2. Standard We Follow
Our target standard is the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including:
- Visual β blindness, low vision, color blindness
- Auditory β deafness and hard of hearing
- Motor β limited fine motor control, use of assistive input devices
- Cognitive β dyslexia, attention disorders, memory impairments
- Neurological β seizure disorders, vestibular sensitivities
WCAG 2.1 Level AA is the standard most commonly referenced in U.S. accessibility law and is the benchmark we hold ourselves to.
3. Measures We've Taken
To work toward WCAG 2.1 AA conformance, we have implemented the following measures across our website:
Perceivable
- All meaningful images have descriptive
alttext - Decorative images are marked as such and hidden from screen readers
- Text has a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 against its background
- Content does not rely on color alone to convey meaning
- Video content (when used) includes captions and transcripts
- Text can be resized up to 200% without loss of functionality
Operable
- All interactive elements are reachable and usable with keyboard only
- Focus indicators are visible and clearly styled on all focusable elements
- Skip-to-content links are available for screen reader and keyboard users
- Navigation structure is consistent across all pages
- Animations can be disabled via operating system preferences
- No content flashes more than three times per second
Understandable
- Pages use clear language and avoid unnecessary jargon
- Form fields include descriptive labels and clear error messages
- Required fields are clearly indicated
- Navigation and interactive elements behave consistently
- Language of page content is programmatically identified
Robust
- Semantic HTML5 elements are used throughout
- ARIA attributes enhance native HTML semantics where needed
- Content works across modern browsers and assistive technologies
- Form controls include proper labels, roles, and states
4. Current Conformance Status
We've reviewed our site against WCAG 2.1 Level AA success criteria. Here's where we stand as of the last audit:
Color Contrast
All text meets or exceeds 4.5:1 contrast ratio against its background.
Keyboard Navigation
All interactive elements are fully accessible via keyboard, with visible focus states.
Screen Reader Support
All content is navigable with NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver using semantic markup and ARIA where needed.
Resizable Text
Text scales to 200% without loss of content or functionality. Layout uses relative units.
Form Accessibility
All form fields have associated labels, clear error messages, and accessible required-field indicators.
Interactive Maps
Our service area map has keyboard and screen reader fallback content, but map interaction itself has limited accessibility. All key information is available in text form below the map.
Third-Party Embeds
Some embedded third-party content (fonts, maps) may not fully meet our accessibility standards. We're working with providers to improve this.
Closed Captions
Captions for future video content are in development. Text transcripts are provided as an interim measure.
5. Assistive Technology Compatibility
Our website is designed to work with the following assistive technologies:
- Screen readers β NVDA (Windows), JAWS (Windows), VoiceOver (macOS, iOS), TalkBack (Android)
- Screen magnifiers β ZoomText, built-in OS magnifiers
- Voice control β Dragon NaturallySpeaking, Voice Control (macOS, iOS)
- Alternative input β switch controls, eye-tracking systems, on-screen keyboards
We test primarily with NVDA, VoiceOver, and keyboard-only navigation. Testing with additional assistive technologies is part of our ongoing accessibility program.

- Enhanced map alternatives β Improved non-visual ways to explore our service areas
- Video captioning β Closed captions for any future video content
- Staff training β Accessibility awareness training for our web development team
