    Web Site Inaccessibility Risks

    Web site accessibility is essential for maintaining your organization's brand image and avoiding litigation. Because a Web site is the public face of your organization, discrimination will have a negative brand impact. In addition, if Web site services-including support information, online transactions, and search functionality-are inaccessible, your organization risks lawsuits based on anti-discriminatory legislation. Many organizations face increased pressures:
    • Public sector organizations including U.S. Federal government agencies are required by laws such as Section 508 to make their Web sites accessible.
    • E-businesses, including Financial Services companies, risk lost revenue and anti-discriminatory litigation for maintaining inaccessible Web sites.
    • Hardware and software manufacturers with product support information online must maintain accessible Web sites in order to sell products to the U.S. Federal government market.
    Inaccessible Web sites expose your organization to revenue loss, punitive damages, and compliance risks. An SSB BART Group Web Site Assessment is the first step toward resolving these risks.
