\nBFSG protection against warning letters with genuine assumption of liability<\/span>\n\u2013 when it really matters, we stand firm.<\/span><\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Most providers in the field of digital accessibility sell tools. If you receive a warning letter, you\u2019re on your own. Access Protect\u00ae goes further: we contractually assume liability for ensuring that your audited digital offerings comply with the BFSG. Should a warning letter or legal action arise due to a lack of accessibility, IFDB experts and partner law firms will handle the entire process. This is the protection against warning letters that a simple overlay or an automated scan is structurally unable to provide. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Protection against warning letters is only worthwhile if it is built on a solid foundation. That is why Access Protect\u00ae is not a stand-alone product, but the result of a systematic process: first the evidence, then the protection. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Access Ready\u00ae certificate as a basis<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Access Protect\u00ae can only be booked once you have passed the Access Ready\u00ae audit \u2014 no exceptions. This is because we can only contractually guarantee the accessibility of your digital services once it has been documented by a reliable, in-depth audit. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Active monitoring via Access Guard\u00ae\n<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Protection remains active for as long as Access Guard\u00ae is running. Continuous monitoring ensures that the certified status is maintained even after each deployment. If monitoring ceases, the protective shield is deactivated \u2014 because liability without monitoring would be irresponsible. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

With Access Protect\u00ae, we contractually assume liability for the audited status. You do not receive vague assurances, but a clear contractual basis that you can rely on in the event of an emergency. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Should you receive a formal warning or face legal action due to a lack of accessibility, IFDB experts, working alongside specialist partner law firms, will handle the entire process. You won\u2019t have to face the legal risk alone \u2014 we\u2019ll be right by your side. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Choose Access Protect\u00ae<\/h6>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Why an overlay can never assume this risk<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

There is a structural reason why pure overlay providers expressly exclude liability: a script that is superimposed on a website after the fact cannot fix the underlying code. If you do not ensure genuine accessibility, you cannot be held accountable for it. This is not a matter of opinion \u2014 it is stated in their own terms and conditions. <\/p>

Access Protect\u00ae turns this relationship on its head. Because every protection measure is preceded by a genuine, in-depth audit carried out by human experts, we know the actual state of your digital offerings. And because we know this, we can vouch for it. This combination of robust evidence, continuous monitoring and contractual liability is unique in the DACH region. <\/p>

For senior management, this means a significant reduction in burden: no comparison with an overlay, no hoping for the best, but a contractually guaranteed position. This is precisely why Access Protect\u00ae is not a cost item, it is a strategic safeguard against a specific business risk. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
