Weekly accessibility checks for every client site, reported honestly
CandidAccess checks the pages you choose on each client site every week, shows your whole portfolio in one place, and gives you reports under your agency's name that say exactly what was tested and what was not.
Built for agencies that look after client sites
Your clients are asking about accessibility. Checking every site yourself, every week, is not realistic. CandidAccess gives your team a steady weekly routine across the whole portfolio:
- All client sites in one dashboard. See coverage, the last and next scan, open findings and items that need a person to review.
- You choose the pages. We suggest pages from the homepage and sitemap; you approve the list. Nothing is added without you.
- Changes over time. See what is new, what is still open and what came back after it was fixed.
Honest by design
Automated checks catch only some accessibility barriers. Many barriers need a person, and often assistive technology, to find. We say this plainly, in the product and in every report.
Every report includes:
- the exact pages that were checked, and the scan conditions
- a “What was not tested” section
- a “Needs manual review” section for checks a person has to judge
- the engine, rule and browser versions used
CandidAccess does not certify, score or badge a site. Our results do not show that a site meets WCAG (the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) or any law. They show what automated checks found on the listed pages, so your team knows where to look next.
Reports under your agency’s name
Add your agency name, colour, contact line and logo. You get the same report in HTML and PDF; very large reports are summarized in the PDF. Send them to clients as part of your care plan. Your clients don’t need an account. TBD: whether any CandidAccess mark appears on client reports
A sample report will be available before launch. TBD: sample report
Know when fixed issues come back
When a finding returns after a check showed it was gone, CandidAccess marks it as returned on your dashboard. Weekly summary emails about returned issues are planned. TBD: whether alert emails are live at launch
Careful with your clients’ sites and data
- You confirm authorization. Your agency confirms it is authorized to monitor each site you add.
- Respects robots.txt. We re-check it before every scan.
- Isolated scanning. Each scan runs in an isolated, disposable browser on a separate scanner server with no access to your account data or our database.
- Where data is stored. CandidAccess is hosted in EU data centers (Frankfurt, Germany), with encrypted backups in the EU. TBD: DPA and subprocessor list
- Private reports. Reports are private files, never publicly linked. They can be seen by members of your organization, plus a small number of CandidAccess operators where needed to run and support the service. Each agency’s data is separated at the database level.
- Retention. Reports expire on a set schedule. TBD: retention wording

Early access
We are opening CandidAccess to a small group of agencies first. TBD: launch countries and site language

Automated testing detects only some accessibility barriers. Results cover the listed pages and scan conditions, do not establish WCAG or legal compliance, and do not replace manual testing with assistive technology.
