Everything you need to prove EAA compliance — in one place
Scan, score, document, fix and monitor. A11y Shield covers the full evidence trail regulators and procurement teams expect, without you needing an accessibility specialist on staff.
A real browser, not a source-code guess
Every scan runs your pages in headless Chrome and evaluates them with axe-core — the same engine trusted by browser vendors — so we test the DOM users actually get, including JavaScript-rendered content.
- WCAG 2.2 AA
- Rules mapped to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2 at Level AA — the conformance bar the EAA effectively requires.
- EN 301 549
- Each finding is cross-referenced to the European harmonised standard, so your evidence speaks the language regulators use.
- Multi-page crawl
- Follows internal links across your site and respects robots.txt — no hammering pages you've asked crawlers to skip.
- Honest coverage
- Automated testing catches roughly a third of the WCAG success criteria reliably. We surface those and clearly flag what still needs human review, so you're never given false confidence.
Turn a list of defects into a number you can act on
A raw issue count means nothing to a founder or a finance lead. Shield translates your findings into a plain-language grade and an estimated euro exposure band, so anyone in the room can grasp what's on the line.
- Compliance grade
- A single letter grade weighted by issue severity and how many users each barrier affects — the headline you can put in front of a board.
- € exposure band
- An indicative range derived from published EAA penalty structures across member states, giving you a defensible sense of scale.
- Severity weighting
- Blockers that stop a screen-reader user completing checkout count for more than a cosmetic contrast miss — the score reflects real-world impact.
- Not legal advice
- The grade and band are indicative guidance to prioritise work, not a legal opinion. For formal sign-off, take the evidence to a qualified adviser.
The EN 301 549 statement, drafted for you
A formal accessibility statement is the document regulators and procurement teams ask for first. Shield generates one from your scan results, structured the way the standard expects.
- Standard-shaped
- Conformance status, known limitations, the feedback route and the assessment method — all sections the EN 301 549 model statement requires.
- PDF export
- Download a clean, print-ready PDF to attach to tenders, share with legal or file as your compliance record.
- White-label accent
- On Business and Agency plans, brand the statement with your own accent colour so it goes out under your name, not ours.
- Kept current
- Regenerate after any re-scan so the published statement always reflects your site's actual state — stale statements are a liability of their own.
A backlog your developers can actually work through
Finding problems is the easy part. Shield ranks every issue by impact and effort so your team fixes what moves the grade first, instead of drowning in an undifferentiated audit dump.
- Impact × effort ranking
- Each issue is scored so the high-impact, low-effort wins float to the top — the fastest route to a defensible grade.
- CSV export
- Push the full prioritised list straight into your issue tracker or hand it to a contractor, no copy-paste from a dashboard.
- AI-assisted suggestions
- On Business and Agency plans, each finding comes with a concrete remediation suggestion — the failing pattern and how to correct it.
- Element-level detail
- Every finding points to the specific element and page, with the WCAG success criterion it fails, so there's no guesswork.
A bad deploy can't quietly re-expose you
Compliance isn't a one-off. A single release can re-introduce a barrier you already fixed. Shield re-scans on a weekly schedule and tells you the moment your grade slips.
- Weekly re-scans
- Your monitored sites are re-crawled on a schedule — no remembering to run anything, no gaps between manual checks.
- Regression detection
- Shield diffs each scan against the last and flags issues that a deploy has newly re-introduced, not just the standing backlog.
- Email alerts
- Get notified when new issues appear or your grade drops, so the right person can act before it becomes a complaint.
- Trend history
- A record of your score over time — evidence of good-faith, ongoing effort, which counts for a lot if you're ever questioned.
