SEBI Accessibility Audit Services
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has emphasized accessibility as a core requirement for regulated financial entities, ensuring that digital platforms, investor services, trading portals, and mobile applications are usable by all investors, including persons with disabilities (PwDs).
Accessibility is no longer optional — it is a regulatory mandate under SEBI circulars, supported by the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (RPwD) Act, 2016, and aligned with global standards such as WCAG 2.1, ISO 30071-1, and Section 508. Non-compliance exposes organizations not only to regulatory penalties but also to reputational risk and potential exclusion of a large investor base.
At Shieldbyte Infosec, we deliver comprehensive SEBI Accessibility Audits that go beyond basic compliance. Our audits combine technical accessibility testing, assistive technology validation, regulatory mapping, and remediation consulting to help financial institutions achieve both compliance and inclusivity.
With our structured approach, organizations can achieve both regulatory conformance and enhanced user experience
