In plain language
The international standard for web accessibility, published by the W3C.
WCAG defines four principles (Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, Robust) and three conformance levels (A, AA, AAA).
Where it bites
WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) matters when a workflow touches personal data, accessibility law, or procurement risk. The cost is rarely the definition; it is the unowned process behind it.
What to check
- Which legal trigger applies?
- Where is the process documented?
- Who can prove the control works in production?
