Accessibility Statement for SecOpsMate.com
Last updated 14 June 2025

1 | Our Commitment & Compliance Framework

SecOpsMate.com is committed to delivering an inclusive digital experience. While full conformance is an ongoing goal, we have implemented extensive measures to align with:

EAA 2025 – European Accessibility Act
WCAG 2.1 Level AA – Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
ADA Title III – Americans with Disabilities Act
EN 301 549 – European ICT Accessibility Standard
GDPR – General Data Protection Regulation (privacy & security)

WCAG conformance is built on four key principles, which guide our design and development decisions:

Perceivable – Information is presented in ways users can sense (e.g., alt text for images, adjustable contrast).
Operable – All functionality works via multiple input methods, including keyboard-only navigation.
Understandable – Content and interface behave predictably and are easy to comprehend.
Robust – Code is compatible with current and future assistive technologies.

2 | Site-Wide Accessibility Features

Every page displays an accessibility icon in the lower-left corner. Activating it opens a panel where visitors can tailor their experience:

Vision & Readability

Increase text size
Enlarge cursor
Adjust line height and letter spacing
Switch to a dyslexia-friendly or highly readable font
Magnify selected text
Align paragraphs (left / center / right / justified)
Highlight all hyperlinks
Invert colors, enable grayscale, or fine-tune brightness, contrast, and saturation
Hide images to reduce visual clutter
Disable on-page animations

Focus & Navigation

Turn on a horizontal reading line
Enable a reading mask that dims surrounding content
Highlight page titles or highlight all elements for rapid orientation
Use full keyboard navigation with visible focus indicators
Jump directly to main content via “Skip to Content” shortcuts

Audio & Multimodal Support

Your selections are stored locally in your browser so the site re-opens in your preferred configuration.

3 | Accessibility Profiles

Within the same accessibility pane, visitors can activate ready-made profiles that bundle the most common adjustments into a single switch. These profiles are designed for rapid, one-click setup—ideal when a user prefers not to configure individual settings.

Vision Impaired Mode – Enhances on-screen visuals through higher contrast, larger text, and increased cursor size.
Seizure Safe Profile – Clears flashing elements and reduces intense color transitions to lower seizure risk.
ADHD Friendly Mode – Minimises visual clutter and distractions, promoting focused, streamlined browsing.
Blindness Mode – Adapts layout for screen-reader efficiency, hides superfluous imagery, and emphasises semantic landmarking.
Epilepsy Safe Mode – Dims vivid colours and halts all blinking or animated content to provide a stable visual environment.

Users can toggle any profile on or off at any time; individual feature controls remain available for further tailoring.

4 | Technical Compatibility

Designed to render correctly in current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari.
Built with semantic HTML5, WAI-ARIA 1.2 landmarks and roles, ECMAScript 2022 modules, and responsive CSS Grid/Flexbox layouts.
Supports common browser zoom settings and operating-system high-contrast modes.

5 | Continuous Improvement

We perform recurring automated and manual accessibility reviews during every major release.
Our content team follows an authoring checklist mapped to WCAG 2.1 AA criteria.
Developers receive ongoing training in semantic markup, ARIA best practices, and inclusive design.
User feedback drives remediation priorities and future enhancements.

6 | Known Limitations

Historical PDF issues of some published magazines and books lack full tagging.
Certain third-party embeds and dynamic data visualizations may not expose all information to assistive technologies.
Legacy infographics are still being updated with detailed alternative text.

We are actively addressing these items and welcome reports of any additional barriers.
