Founder-Led Accessibility Consulting for Public-Sector Digital Teams
508Audit supports federal agencies, state and local governments, higher education institutions, and government contractors with Section 508 audits, WCAG conformance reviews, VPAT/ACR preparation, document accessibility remediation, and ADA Title II readiness.
Founder-Led
A practical, documentation-ready accessibility partner.
508Audit was built to give agencies, higher education institutions, and government contractors a more practical, documentation-ready accessibility partner — one that understands that accessibility issues are not only technical problems, but procurement, compliance, remediation, and delivery risks.
Engagements are founder-led from scoping through delivery. Our testing approach is informed by DHS Trusted Tester practices, mapped to Section 508, WCAG 2.2, and applicable FAR requirements, and produced as evidence-backed deliverables a contracting officer, OIG reviewer, or Section 508 program office can defend.
508Audit is Delaware-registered and SAM.gov registered. Every evaluation is performed by a DHS Trusted Tester credentialed evaluator using the DHS Section 508 Trusted Tester process.

Why 508Audit Exists
Accessibility is a procurement and delivery problem — not just a technical one.
Public-sector teams routinely inherit ICT with vague VPATs, undocumented remediation history, and conformance claims no one can defend. Program offices need ACRs that survive scrutiny. Acquisition teams need vendor VPATs they can actually evaluate. Modernization and OIG reviewers need a paper trail. 508Audit was built to deliver exactly that — without the layered subcontracting, junior-staff swaps, and template deliverables typical of larger firms.
Public-Sector Accessibility Focus
Built for the buyers and teams who own accessibility outcomes.
Founder-led delivery. Credentialed evaluators of record. No junior-staff swaps after the SOW is signed.
