Accessibility: Audits & Testing
SEBI Accessibility Audit
SEBI's accessibility guidelines make accessible digital experiences a compliance and inclusion mandate for brokers, AMCs, RTAs and investor-facing platforms. As an accessibility auditor for India's capital markets, we audit trading, KYC and investor portals against SEBI guidelines and WCAG 2.2, with SEBI-aligned documentation.

Overview
For stockbrokers, asset management companies (AMCs), registrar and transfer agents (RTAs), and other market intermediaries, investor-facing platforms must be fully inclusive. SEBI mandates that digital platforms facilitate equal access to investment and trading services for individuals with visual, auditory, cognitive, or physical impairments.
Our SEBI accessibility audits focus on the unique challenges of complex financial data interfaces. We evaluate high-density dashboards, real-time interactive charts, onboarding (eKYC) funnels, and transaction systems to ensure they are fully navigable by assistive technologies without losing speed or context.
