Our Commitment to Accessibility
FOCTTA is committed to making our platform accessible to everyone, including persons with disabilities. We recognise that digital access is a fundamental right under Article 21 of the Constitution of India, as affirmed by the Supreme Court in Pragya Prasun & Ors. v. Union of India (30 April 2025). Privacy compliance tooling should be usable by everyone - Data Protection Officers, compliance analysts, auditors, and the data principals they serve.
Standards We Follow
FOCTTA is designed to conform to the following accessibility standards:
- WCAG 2.2 Level AA - Web Content Accessibility Guidelines published by the W3C
- IS 17802 (Part 1:2021 and Part 2:2022) - Indian Standard for Accessibility of ICT Products and Services, enforceable under the RPWD Amendment Rules 2023
- Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 (RPWD Act) - Sections 40 and 46, accessibility obligations for ICT products
- SEBI Digital Accessibility Circular dated 31 July 2025 - applicable to our regulated-entity customers
- European Accessibility Act (EAA), Directive (EU) 2019/882 - enforced from 28 June 2025
- DPDPA 2023, Section 5(3) - a person can choose to read a privacy notice in English or any of the 22 languages of the Eighth Schedule
Audit and Conformance
FOCTTA's accessibility is evaluated through a combination of automated tooling (axe-core, Lighthouse, WAVE) run continuously in our CI/CD pipeline, and manual keyboard-only and screen-reader testing as part of every release cycle. Independent IAAP-certified audit is scheduled as part of our SEBI compliance cycle.
A detailed Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR/VPAT) is available on request for enterprise procurement teams.
Shared Responsibility for Customer-Configured Widgets
Where customers (Data Fiduciaries under the DPDPA, 2023) configure customer-facing widgets - notices, preference centres, rights portals - with their own brand, copy, and language, the platform provides tooling to help the Data Fiduciary configure accessible defaults and keep a documented audit of any accessibility exception they elect to accept. This model respects Data Fiduciary autonomy while ensuring informed, documented decisions.
