Vendor management and technical audits

Have you procured software, a custom app, or a new website from an external agency? It can be difficult to assess whether a third-party vendor is truly delivering code that complies with accessibility legislation and WCAG standards.

We serve as your independent technical advisor. We help you define precise requirements, audit deliverables, and handle the technical dialog directly with your vendor on your behalf.

How we assist with third-party vendors:

  • Procurement & contract requirements: We help define clear, measurable accessibility criteria before you sign contracts with external software agencies.
  • Auditing deliverables: We review the codebase and user interface throughout the development lifecycle to catch and block accessibility issues before you accept the delivery or push to production.
  • Direct technical dialog: Instead of acting as a middleman, our software engineers and project managers interface directly with your vendor’s development team peer-to-peer.
  • Evaluating vendor capability: We help assess whether your current vendor possesses the necessary accessibility expertise—or if they require technical guidance to fulfill contractual requirements.

With deranged in your corner, you can rest assured that you get the accessibility and quality you paid for.
