PLATFORM ARCHITECTURE

Three levels.
The Compliance-Infrastruktur.

  • 1
    Diagnosis
    Proprietary testing methodology.
    ifdb analyses websites, apps and PDF documents using its proprietary testing software, Access Score®, in accordance with BFSG, EAA and WCAG 2.2 — precisely, scalably and consistently across all products.
  • 2
    Validation
    Tested by experts and users.
    Any aspects that the software alone cannot detect are validated by experienced ifdb auditors and users of assistive technologies. This hybrid approach forms the basis of every robust BFSG certification.
  • 3
    Protection
    Contractually binding and legally compliant.
    Findings are translated into reliable outputs: certificates, ongoing monitoring or contractual liability. Every ifdb product is based on this architecture.
Two people giving each other a joyful high-five in the office — IFDB compliance infrastructure with diagnosis, validation, and protection for verifiable digital accessibility under BFSG and WCAG 2.2.

Industry expertise
at ZDF.

ifdb founder Lukas Maximilian Langer featured as an industry expert in a ZDF WISO report on the Accessibility Enhancement Act — set against the backdrop of the public debate on the regulatory reality of digital participation.

INDUSTRY STANDARDS

The benchmark. Structurally established.

Used in regulated sectors

Banks, health insurance providers, public service broadcasters and corporate platforms rely on ifdb. The compliance infrastructure has been tried and tested in both SMEs and large enterprises — across all levels of maturity.

Valid audit certificate

With Access Ready®, you will receive the ifdb certificate upon successful completion of the audit — the legally binding BFSG certification in the DACH region. Well-established in regulated industries as evidence of due diligence.

The Only Contractual Liability Coverage in the Market

Pure software vendors explicitly exclude liability in their terms and conditions. With Access Protect®, ifdb contractually assumes legal responsibility — a form of protection that is unique in the market.

Proprietary Testing Software

Access Score® and the entire testing system are proprietary ifdb methodologies. No white-label solutions, no third-party tools — everything from a single source, with a consistent data foundation across the entire suite.

CUSTOM SOLUTIONS FOR YOUR BUSINESS

Find the right package for your digital accessibility

We combine deep audits, real-time monitoring, and contractual liability protection into one ecosystem that doesn’t just document BFSG compliance — it secures it. Every package is tailored to your industry, your system landscape, and your risk profile — with transparent pricing and no greenwashing.
