As a result of Colorado’s HB21-1110 digital accessibility law, vendors to Colorado state and local entities now have to complete detailed accessibility compliance checklists and questionnaires. These forms mandate extensive documentation that can be time-consuming and complex to compile.
Accessible.org’s Accessibility Tracker makes this process significantly easier by automatically generating the documentation you need.
Producing Documentation
HB21-1110 vendor checklists ask for detailed information about your accessibility progress, corrective actions, and testing results. Traditionally, this means manually compiling reports from different sources and team members.
That’s where Accessibility Tracker comes in. Let’s look through several vendor questions that result from the checklist and how Tracker helps.
Automated Progress Reports
Question 4 asks: “What metrics are in place to track progress with the Accessibility plan/initiative?”
With Accessibility Tracker, you get automatic monthly progress reports that track:
- Issues Completed
- Issues Validated
- Percentage of high impact issues
All tracking analytics can be instantly turned into a report, giving you exactly what these vendor forms require.
Test Results and Development Integration
Questions 5 asks, “Can you provide a copy of the accessibility test plan for the product? Accessibility test results? Issues found and corrective actions planned?”
Tracker organizes and tracks your audit results systematically, making it easy to provide comprehensive test documentation. The team assignment features show how accessibility is integrated into your development workflow at various stages.
Corrective Actions Process
Question 7 asks about your corrective actions process and how issues are prioritized.
Accessibility Tracker lets you:
- Assign accessibility issues to team members
- Prioritize issues by one of two prioritization formulas
- Change the status of an issue to in progress, completed, or validated
This gives you a clear, documented process that satisfies vendor checklist requirements.
Compliance Roadmaps
Questions 12 asks, “If your product is not compliant, do you have a committed plan or roadmap to achieving compliance and by when?”
Tracker’s progress tracking provides clear documentation of your remediation timeline and committed plan to achieve compliance. The team assignment and management features demonstrate you have dedicated resources working on accessibility issues.
Governance Oversight
Question 19 asks about your governance model for accessibility standards.
Tracker’s systematic issue tracking, prioritization, and validation process demonstrates structured governance oversight. You can show exactly how accessibility standards are managed and maintained across your organization.
Automatic Reports
The best part? You don’t have to manually compile any of this documentation. Upload your accessibility audit report and Accessibility Tracker automatically generates the tracking and reporting you need for vendor forms.
Of course, you’ll also be able to automatically print or send a digital copy of your reports.
