US Law Isn't the Only Risk

The European Accessibility Act (EAA) has been enforced since June 28, 2025. Regulators in Germany, the Netherlands, France, and Ireland are already conducting active audits. If your site reaches users in Europe, you're legally exposed right now.

The EAA requires WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance (EN 301 549). ADAGuard checks for EAA compliance in the same scan — no extra setup needed.

Real fixes, not a widget

ADAGuard finds the issues.
Overlays just hide them.
Yours get fixed for good.

An overlay adds a widget that tries to patch accessibility problems in the browser — without changing your code. The problems are still there, just covered up.

ADAGuard is a scanner. It shows you the real issues in your actual code and how to fix each one, so they're gone for good — not hidden behind a script.

In 2025, the FTC took enforcement action against a major overlay vendor for falsely claiming its AI tool made websites compliant, and about 1 in 4 ADA lawsuits that year targeted sites already running one. FTC press release, January 2025.

Every Standard. One Scan.

ADAGuard tests against all 6 major accessibility laws simultaneously — no extra configuration, no separate scans.

W3C global standard

WCAG 2.2 Level AA

43 / 55

26 fully automated, 17 partially — full breakdown published

The current global standard for web accessibility, published by the W3C in 2023. All major accessibility laws — ADA, EAA, Section 508, EN 301 549 — converge on WCAG as the technical benchmark. ADAGuard covers 43 of 55 Level A and AA success criteria automatically (26 fully, 17 partially), verified in a criterion-by-criterion code audit with the full methodology published.
US federal law

ADA Title III

4,800+

lawsuits last year — a growing share filed pro se using AI, near-zero legal barrier to sue

Title III of the ADA requires public accommodations to be accessible. Courts and the DOJ have consistently ruled this applies to websites. Over 4,800 digital accessibility lawsuits were filed in the most recent full year, and a rapidly growing share are pro se filings — plaintiffs using AI tools to draft complaints without an attorney. ADAGuard tests your site against the WCAG 2.2 AA standard courts point to, so you know exactly where you stand.
EU directive — enforced

European Accessibility Act

€900K

Netherlands cap, or 10% of turnover — penalties set per member state

Enforced since June 28, 2025, the EAA requires businesses selling to EU customers to meet EN 301 549 (equivalent to WCAG 2.1 Level AA). Non-EU companies are fully in scope if they serve EU users. France filed the first EAA lawsuits in late 2025 against Auchan, Carrefour, and E.Leclerc. There is no single EU-wide penalty — each member state sets its own: the Netherlands caps fines at €900,000 or 10% of annual turnover, Italy allows up to 5% of annual revenue, and Ireland is the only member state where violations can lead to criminal prosecution.
US gov procurement

Section 508

VPAT

required for every US federal contract bid — no exceptions for vendors

Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act requires federal agencies and their contractors to make ICT products and services accessible. A VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) or ACR (Accessibility Conformance Report) is required for all federal procurement bids. All federal agencies and their vendors must comply.
EU technical standard

EN 301 549

27

EU member states — explicitly cited in enterprise procurement contracts

EN 301 549 is the European harmonised standard for ICT accessibility, published by ETSI. It is the technical backbone behind both the EAA and public sector accessibility directives across all 27 EU member states. Enterprise procurement contracts and public tenders explicitly require EN 301 549 conformance, not just EAA compliance.
Canadian law

AODA (Canada)

$100K/day

max fine for corporations — enforcement deadlines already passed

The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act requires Ontario businesses and public sector organisations to meet WCAG 2.0 Level AA. Maximum fines for corporations reach CAD $100,000 per day. Large organisation deadlines passed in January 2021, meaning enforcement is fully active. Ontario's approach is being adopted by other Canadian provinces.

Criteria we tell you need a human review

Focus order, motion actuation, multi-page context — genuinely not automatable by any tool. We document exactly which 12 and why. Every competitor pretends this gap doesn't exist. We don't.
