General Comment of the Certification Authority:
For this WACA certification, 5 templates of this web application were checked for web accessibility according to WCAG 2.1 - A and WCAG 2.1 - AA (https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG20/quickref/). A strong orientation towards accessibility can be seen in the tested templates. Many of the problem areas that arose in the first audit have been rectified.
As a representative sample for the entire application "Whistleblower Software", a complete use case of a test version in English language based on a test platform with the URL https://whistleblowersoftware.com/secure/98f5ec13-1d6f-4688-a602-484fa4dfbd60 was selected for the certification audit. The product website https://whistleblowersoftware.com/en was not in the scope of this audit.
The following contents or functions of a website and web apps are generally excluded from the WACA Certificate audit:
- Websites containing non-German and/or English language content
- Apps for mobile applications
- PDFs
- Live broadcast time-based media
- Content that is only available to a closed group of people and not to the general public (extranets, intranets)
- External third-party content that was neither financed nor developed by the website operator and is therefore not subject to their control (such as Google Maps, YouTube, Facebook, other Iframes and widgets, ...) as follows:
- Third-party content that you cannot interact with (such as Facebook tracking pixels) is excluded from the certification process.
- Third-party content that does not provide a basic core functionality is excluded from the certification process.
- Third-party content that provides additional information and is essential to users needs to provide an alternative.
- If a website consists largely of third-party content, certification will be rejected and the application will not be accepted. The website is not auditable.
- Online maps and map services, though these must provide an accessible alternative
- Google Captcha (ReCaptcha V2): valid only for the Silver and Bronze level
