Accessibility statement

Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 AA — what conforms, what is in progress, and how to report a barrier.

Federal agencies that procure or use this site are bound by Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. The technical standard Section 508 incorporates by reference is WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA. This page states CybrIQ's current conformance posture for both the government sub-site you are reading and the product itself, names known gaps, and gives a direct path for reporting access barriers.

Standards we are conforming to

  • Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. § 794d), as updated by the 2018 Section 508 Refresh.
  • WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA — the technical standard Section 508 references for web content.
  • Revised Section 508 standards 36 C.F.R. Part 1194 — applied to software user interfaces (the product itself) and electronic documents.

Conformance posture — this sub-site

Status: Substantially conforms to WCAG 2.1 AA.

"Substantially conforms" is the Section 508 term for content that meets the standard with minor, known, documented exceptions. The exceptions for this site are listed in the next section.

What conforms

  • Keyboard navigation. Every interactive element is reachable and operable via keyboard alone. Skip-to-content link is present on every page.
  • Focus visibility. Focus indicators are visible against page background; the focus order matches the visual order of the content.
  • Semantic structure. Headings are nested correctly (one h1 per page, no skipped levels). Landmarks (header, nav, main, footer) are present. Lists use list markup.
  • Color contrast. Body text contrast against background meets 4.5:1; large text and UI elements meet 3:1.
  • Text alternatives. Images include alt text. SVG diagrams include role and title attributes. Decorative images are marked as decorative.
  • Resize and reflow. Content reflows at 200% zoom without horizontal scrolling at standard viewport widths. Text is resizable to 200% without loss of functionality.
  • Forms. Form fields have associated labels. Error states are announced and the field with the error is identifiable.
  • Language. Pages declare lang="en" on the root element.
  • Motion. No autoplaying motion. No flashing or parallax patterns that risk vestibular triggers.

Known exceptions (under remediation)

The following items are known not to fully conform; remediation is tracked internally and dated.

  • Some embedded SVG diagrams use color alone to differentiate categories in legends. Where the legend item depends on color, a text label or pattern is added; a small number of older diagrams have not been updated yet. Remediation target: Q3 2026.
  • The downloadable evidence packs (PDFs) are programmatically tagged for screen-reader navigation. A small number of older one-pagers in /resources/ have not been re-tagged after the most recent layout refresh. Remediation target: Q3 2026.
  • The mobile-menu hamburger is a CSS-only checkbox-hack pattern. It is keyboard-operable and announces its expanded state, but a small number of older screen-reader configurations may not announce the state change cleanly. A scripted menu replacement is on the backlog. Remediation target: Q4 2026.

Conformance posture — the product (RoomIQ and SpacesIQ)

The CybrIQ product has its own conformance posture, separate from this marketing site, because the audience is different. The product user interface is operated by IT, security, and audit staff, often through a browser, sometimes within an agency's own portal frame.

Status: VPAT available on request.

A Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT 2.5 Rev INT) covering Section 508, WCAG 2.1, and EN 301 549 is maintained for the current product release. The VPAT is shared with the requester on the briefing call or directly under MNDA. It is updated when a product release materially changes the user interface.

Assistive technology compatibility

This site has been functionally validated with:

  • NVDA on Windows with Chrome and Edge.
  • VoiceOver on macOS with Safari.
  • VoiceOver on iOS with Safari.
  • Keyboard-only navigation (no pointing device) across all interactive content.
  • Browser zoom to 200% in Chrome, Edge, and Safari.

JAWS is the most common screen reader in federal environments. Where an agency's evaluation team uses JAWS, the briefing call covers the testing notes for JAWS-specific behaviors that differ from NVDA.

How to report an access barrier

If you encounter content on this site or in the product that is not accessible to you, please report it. We aim to respond within five business days and to remediate, or to publish a plan with a target date, within thirty business days.

  • Email: accessibility@cybriq.io
  • Subject line: "Access barrier" followed by a short description.
  • Include where helpful: the page URL or product screen, the assistive technology and version, the browser and version, the operating system, and a description of the barrier and the impact.

Procurement context

For federal agencies preparing a Section 508 market-research package or a 508-compliance acquisition checklist, the artifacts available are: the current product VPAT (under MNDA), this written accessibility statement, the public site testing notes, and a remediation timeline for any open items. The briefing call is the path to receive them tailored to a specific solicitation.

Need the VPAT or a 508 walkthrough?

30 minutes: we walk the VPAT row-by-row against your solicitation's 508 requirements, identify any gaps in advance, and ship the artifact directly to your contracting officer's accessibility coordinator.
