Auditing

A digital accessibility audit is a mandatory step to establish the accessibility declaration, guide remediation efforts, and guarantee equal access for all users.

Compliance Audits

A digital accessibility audit evaluates the conformity of your website or application against an accessibility standard.

This compliance audit can serve different purposes:

  • Identify the accessibility level of your website or mobile application,
  • Measure the compliance of your website or mobile application,
  • Produce the mandatory accessibility declaration,
  • Initiate a remediation process to fix accessibility issues.

The Tanaguru team offers audits tailored to your needs:

  • with a level of detail adapted to your goals and the maturity of your teams,
  • based on the RGAA (référentiel général d’amélioration de l’accessibilité, the French accessibility standard) or another standard (such as RAWeb, WCAG, RAAM, etc.),
  • with or without correction recommendations.

Types of Audits

Initial RGAA Audit

Aim of an initial RGAA audit:

Verify the accessibility of a web service and determine what corrections are needed to achieve compliance:

  • Test all criteria of the current RGAA version,
  • List all non-conpliances found on each audited page,
  • Calculate the overall compliance rate,
  • Prioritize issues based on user impact,
  • Estimate correction complexity.

The audit can also include correction recommendations.

Control Audit

Aim: Check progress after corrections have been applied.

  • Uses the same sample of pages as the initial audit,
  • Verifies whether corrected criteria are now compliant,
  • Records any remaining non-compliances.

Choosing the standard that best fits your needs

Website audits

RGAA Audit

An RGAA audit checks a website’s compliance with the General Accessibility Improvement Framework (RGAA).

It is not suitable for mobile applications or for meeting accessibility requirements at the European level.

When should you choose an RGAA audit? When your organisation is required to comply with French legal accessibility obligations.

RAWeb Audit

A RAWeb audit checks compliance with the Web Accessibility Assessment Framework (RAWeb).

Based on the RGAA, RAWeb extends its scope to cover all requirements defined by the European standard EN 301 549.

When should you choose a RAWeb audit? When your organisation is required to comply with European legal accessibility obligations.

WCAG Audit

A WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) audit checks compliance with international accessibility standards.

When should you choose a WCAG audit? When the country in which your organisation operates explicitly requires it, or by default when no specific accessibility standard is defined.

Mobile application audits

RAAM Audit

The RAAM (Mobile Application Accessibility Assessment Framework) measures the accessibility of mobile applications.

When should you choose a RAAM audit? To assess the accessibility of a mobile application.

Targeted Audits

Some projects benefit from focused audits on specific aspects:

  • Component audit: Verify accessibility for repeated functional parts (e.g., navigation menus),
  • Wireframe audit: Check structure and presence of interactive elements (links, buttons, form fields),
  • Mock-up audit: Ensure legibility and accessibility at the design stage,
  • Design system audit: Check accessibility consistency across design components,
  • Technical mock-up audit: Detect code errors during testing.

Audit Pricing

Audit cost varies according to:

  • number of pages audited,
  • complexity of the pages,
  • level of audit detail (issues captured, correction recommendations),
  • audit volume.

Tanaguru follows an internal review process by a senior expert before delivery. The cost of this review is included in audit pricing.
