Accessibility assurance for New Zealand digital teams.
BarrierTrace gives organisations a practical way to combine automated website monitoring, structured manual checks and governance evidence in the context of WCAG 2.2 and New Zealand digital services.
01
Support the New Zealand accessibility context
The NZ Government Web Accessibility Standard is grounded in WCAG 2.2 Level AA, with defined New Zealand requirements and exceptions. Other organisations also use WCAG as a recognised foundation for making digital services more inclusive.
BarrierTrace helps teams retain evidence relevant to those expectations. It is an assurance workspace, not an accreditation service, legal opinion or substitute for an expert conformance audit.
02
Make portfolio oversight practical
Public-sector and complex organisations often manage multiple websites, suppliers and service owners. BarrierTrace provides one place to see monitored sites, representative page coverage, automated signals, manual checks and retained history.
This makes it easier to ask useful governance questions: what was checked, who verified it, what changed, what remains open and where deeper testing is needed?
- Portfolio-level visibility across public websites
- Evidence that retains tester and revision context
- Reports that show limitations as well as findings
- NZ-based product support and pricing in New Zealand dollars
03
Keep people at the centre of assurance
Standards and tools are important, but accessible outcomes depend on how disabled people experience a service. BarrierTrace deliberately keeps room for expert review, disabled-user research and manual journey testing.
The platform’s purpose is to make evidence easier to organise and act on, not to turn inclusion into a single number.
